You know...like "I caught one THISSSSSS big!" CB Two Whitebait fishermen in a bar. After a few beers, one of them stretches his finger and thumb on one hand as far as he can, "Man, it got away, but I'm telling ya - it was this big."

And it was the old dood that made the offer for services rendered.... Hell I would have shaved my legs, throw on some 6" spiked stilettos and purple lingerie for the old dood, and danced my-*** off to Boogie Nights for that guitar........... just as long as I didnt have to sleep with him8-[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkuss Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I'm not really interested about waxing morality on an internet forum. If my friend had done this I would have probably made a few cutting remarks about his sense of decency (not sure whether they'd be jealousy or genuine chastizing) but I just want to see the guitar now....

clarkuss Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Well you know people think about things too much.

JefferySmith Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 One was a blue solidbody that cost me about $400, and the other was a slim Artcore with no discernible grain to the wood(?). Never have found whether it contained actual wood or composite board. I'd feel better if it had been 100% recycled products, like their toxic sheetrock.
