RevDavidLee Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Found this one today at a local store. I wanted to buy it but the seller says he is waiting to hear back from a buyer for "Keith Richards" to see if he wants to purchase it. I informed him that I'm fairly certain Keef has enough guitars already so it may not make it to my brothel. It's estimated to be between a 1948-1950 model and is in excellent condition I played it for about an hour as well and it plays wonderfully & sounds delicious. Very earthy, very awesome & comes with the original case. I'm guessing this has sat in someone's closet for many years because of the wonderful condition it's in. I know everyone loves a beautiful vintage arch top so for your viewing pleasure - here's a few photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevDavidLee Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 I really hope you manage to land that beauty, Rev! Stunning! Pip. Me too. I didn't even ask how much because it seemed to be a mute point if we're all waiting for one of Keef's buyers to show him photos to see if he wants it. I told John to let me know what the outcome is as soon as he knows. I'm not getting into any bidding wars with Keith Richards I can tell you that I'm guessing he has A LOT more money than I do. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny 6 String Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Is that a cake? I was hoping you were posting to say you got it <_< The pic is oddly enough raw bacon stuck to and draped on a flat top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorod Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 That (by the pic) is one fine-looking geetar...jes-sayin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevDavidLee Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 I wish I was posting to say I got it as well but no movement yet I did text the seller last night and asked "well, any news yet? and how long are you going to wait to hear back from the potential buyer?" And I also asked "how much is this guitar going to sell for if he takes a pass on it?" John replied "more than a little but not more than alot" and did not address a time frame regarding a sale. I know he wants bragging rights that he sold a guitar to Keith Richards, and that he's probably counting on getting top dollar if Keith's buyer does purchase it - but the facts are: 1. I won't pay what may be considered "top dollar" and John knows that, and.. 2. I ain't no Keith Richards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 But is you a bacon king? I stumbled on your site the other day while googling the Electra dynamic fuzz cartridge. Pretty cool site man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Is that a cake? I don't know who Paul Crasher is The seller's name is John I honestly dont know. It could be a cake. I though it was just pork rashers adorning a flat top. sorry for my poor joke 'PaulC rasher' Probably makes more sense with an English accent. Good luck with that guitar man. Here's hoping you bring home the bacon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevDavidLee Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Well this acquisition process just ended. John texted me and said it could be purchased for $2300 + $138 tax and as pretty as she is - it's not worth near that much to me. Glad I got to see it and play it but I'm not laying out that much cash for this one. It's only January folks - got a whole year ahead so I'll be keeping my powder dry for now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
