Topic: New Guitar Day?

Thank you Craig's List... I had a motorcycle sitting in my garage that I no longer rode and I listed it for sale.  The "buyer" had a bunch of guitars that he offered in trade instead of cash.  Having a serious case of G.A.S., I couldn't resist. So here's the deal:  I traded a 2000 Royal Enfield 500cc Bullet for a 2001 Fender Strat ('60 reissue MIM), a 1954 Gibson lapsteel, a '60's Kay Archtop acoustic, a 64? Silvertone 1413, a '62? Kay Value Leader, and an awesome Kingston violin Guitar circa 1968?.  Three need some repair and three are amazing (the Strat, Gibson and Kingston).  I'm going to get a lot more use out of these instruments than I did the motorcycle.  Hope he gets good use out of the bike. All in all a very good trade.

Re: New Guitar Day?

WOW - Happy NGD day tandm3! Trading an unused bike for 7 (if I counted correctly) vintage guitars sure sounds like a good deal to me.

It is customary to post pictures on NGD posts. smile

I had originally stated that I had a reissue 1960 Strat. I traded this Sunday for a 1995 USA Tele.  So..Its another New Guitar Day!!  Love the new/ old Tele.

Re: New Guitar Day?

Tandm - as I'm not a moderator in this section, I can't edit what you did to help you out.  Here's the thread though with the "how to post pics"  http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=14150

I think that maybe you used the code that flicker provided for you?  I'm not positive, but that's what I'm thinking happened and it's HTML and this forum only uses BBC code (neither are alien languages I promise).  Easiest thing to do is just pick the size you want, then right click on the picture and copy the url... come back here and use the img tags as you'll see in that quick how to link.

I'll let you see if you can figure it out (with 20some pics in your album I'm not sure which ones you want here and which you don't), so in the mean time here's one of em that I'm pretty sure belongs in this thread! 

here's the formatting used to post the following picture:

Re: New Guitar Day?

I have had a look at the original post and Amy is correct. The link from Flickr should always have 'http://farm5' at the start and '.jpg' at the end if you have the correct adress.

Re: New Guitar Day?

I absolutely love motorcycles, but you robbed that guy!   Holy cats what a collection!

The lap steel I would love to hear.

Someday we'll win this thing...
