Topic: Call me crazy. Call me a hoarder, Another NGD again.

3 guitars in 3 weeks. This time it is a Japanese hollow body electric from the 60s. It may be a Teisco. It may not. Picked it up for $50.00. It needs a lot of work. Picked it at an antique store in Putnam, Conn. What some people see as junk, I see a diamond in the rough.

You have serious G.A.S. You should seek out your local GAA (Guitar Acquirer's Anonymous) chapter. You need help. smile

Good luck with your project.

That`s got to be bargain of the year
if it plays as good as it looks you`re onto a real winner.

Re: Call me crazy. Call me a hoarder, Another NGD again.

jjj,

Naw, you ain't crazy and you ain't no hoarder, but you did buy a guitar with no strings, so maybe we need to put you in my "territory".

Just kidding, my friend. She's purty, fer sure. I wish you many enjoyable hours with your new acquisition.

Re: Call me crazy. Call me a hoarder, Another NGD again.

Congratulations. Nice find. Even if it doesn't play as good as it looks you can always throw a set of heavy strings on there and use it for a slide.

Re: Call me crazy. Call me a hoarder, Another NGD again.

Dino. No I havent. I put it aside for now. I plugged it in. One pickup is weak.  5 of the tuners are seized.  It will need a bridge.  (maybe). The spring is missing on the whammy. The fretboard is solid rosewood. Not veneer. Some of the binding is missing on the neck. That is how I can tell. The ideas are running through my head though. Grover or Ping tuners. Lawrence or Seymour Duncan pickups. New tailpiece. Of course a set of strings. Hoping to end up with a real sleeper when it is done.

Re: Call me crazy. Call me a hoarder, Another NGD again.

It doesn't look like a very good guitar - in fact, you probably got ripped off, man!

Tell you what - I'll help you out and take it off your hands for $60 - you'll recoup your loss, you'll have one less guitar, and I will have done my part by being a Good Samaritan.

Whaddaya say?

If I got ripped off, I got ripped off. It has happened before. It ends up in the ornament pile. I have those too. I don`t count those in the amount of guitars I have. There must be something there.

Re: Call me crazy. Call me a hoarder, Another NGD again.

Hey, Dino and 'Tails,

Think Jx3 might need an "intervention"? wink

I can just see it now ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (dream sequence)~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Phil: "I understand you have gas. Have you tried maybe 'holding it in'? How'd that work for ya?"

etc. etc. etc. smile

All in good fun. jjj. I think we're all just jealous about the deal you found on that pretty guitar, my friend!  smile

Bill

PS: My girls. "Anita" apologizes for all the smudges. I was supposed to have polished her before the pic. All 3 (including the Galveston accoustic/electric bass - not seen) cost me less than $300.00 and they play and look just fine. I am sure it will be that way with your new one too, joeyjoeyjoey.

That's a pretty bass for sure, and who doesn't appreciate a blue guitar?

Those aren't scratches on the bass, Zurf. That thing is immaculate. I don't know where those came from.
