Oh, that's a significantly more work/child-friendly image than I had expected, given the circumstances.

Strong desire...I have a line on a double cut '59. I have to be patient for it as the seller runs hot and cold on the idea...eventually he'll need to move as he is into ultra pristine vintage guitars where as I want them to play (and this one is clean, but not mint). So he'll need the dollero's for another acquisition.

You'll note some missing too...the 355 has gone, as has the Walnut 335. Traditional has gone, two Firebird VII's (rev & n/r)....so yeah, down overall. But feel privileged to have what I do.

Yeah, I noticed the 355 and 335 were missing -The TM saga 335 must be bitchin' for those to go.

And the awesome cum-coloured non-rev bird -assuming the last went toward getting the vintage equivalent?

Actual LOL, stopped trying to explain to a work mate what was so funny. Didn't say anything about the G-String though....
