This time it is a vintage Kay Acoustic. Went to a Guitar trade show in Wareham, Mass. In great shape with none of the inherent problems that Kay`s are known for. Pictures on Facebook.

Thank You for putting up the pictures Roger. I wont be putting any stickers on this one. I have thought of removing the stickers from the other, but they are a trip through time. And that little one that says Joe on the pickguard makes it priceless. There is another one just like it on the headstock too. Where I put them all. I sold the Jackson. My daughter adopted the Sigma and the purple Fender Fat Strat. I ended up with an empty stand that needed to be filled. LOL

Just picked up a Yamaha SJ 180 from the 80s. Now I have 2. One I bought in 1984. And this one. I have been setting up a Bar/ TV Room/ Jam Space for the past 2 months. That is why I haven`t bought anymore guitars lately. Picture on Facebook

Look in Pawn Shops. Check the classified ads like craigslist. Not just local either. Allow yourself a certain distance to travel to get what you are looking for. Be patient and look for someone that doesen`t know what they are selling.

Before I sell anything, I told my daughter (the trout) to go through them and pick what she wants. She picked the Sigma Acoustic and the Purple Fat Strat.She comes first. Not like I don`t have others.

I used to have one. Run through a Peavey Cabinet. It would vibrate the house and set off the fire alarms.

Remember we have a forum for selling stuff. I bought Tiny off of Dirty Ed through it.
I will let everyone here know first. Prices will vary depending on how much I put into them after I bought them. Some were professionally setup. You have seen most of them. If any interest you, feel free to PM me on FB. All I ask is please, don`t insult me. I have done my research. I am starting off with 3 MIM Strats ranging from 225.00 to 300.00.

I don't think I've ever given one a name, other than referred to them as the brand on the headstock. That would get confusing if I had as many guitars as JJJ. It would be like having 9 kids all named "George".
Oh Sure. Drag me into this. LOL 3 of them are named.My Yamaha SJ 180 is Joey because my name is on it. My Rickenbacker is Rick because it is a Ric. My Danelectro Silvertone is named Pam because it is the first guitar that I bought when I first started dating my wife back in 1985. Note: I only had 3 guitars back then.

Goof for you,

I gave her the car last night. I hid it in my mothers garage. With a sign and a giant bow the Toyota dealer let me have. My mother asked her to bring some empty boxes down to the garage. Then I waited a few minutes for her to come up holding up the key.

Topic: To all my facebook friends.I never wrecked The Trouts car. (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
The picture on the facebook post is a random picture of a wrecked Impala like hers. Her car isn`t driveable though. It is because the plates and registration are for the 2010 Toyota Corolla I bought her for xmas. I am playing a trick on her before I give it to her. Her old car is sitting in my neighbors yard so she doesen`t see it. The Impala is rotting at the rocker panels and the tranny lines are going to have to be replaced. I would feel better knowing she has a better car. Let her think I wrecked her car, the end will justify the means. When she gets the car, it will be on facebook. I want it to be a major surprise. She has had an awful year. This won`t change things. She will at least get a major xmas gift. She at least deserves that.

Can't go wrong there.
And if you have some money left over, you can put it towards a road trip to attend 1-2 of the chordie events that are somewhat near you.
Syracuse, NY. and Harrisburg, Pa. come to mind.
I wouild love to attend. The only problem is that at my job, we have to set our time off one year in advance. @016 vacations are already set.

Topic: Reality Check (17 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I am sitting in my parlor. I am surrounded by guitars. 15 of them are within 5 feet of me. Now I am thinking of selling some. 3 of them I have had for over 30 tears. Those aren`t going anywhere. I need to get my house back. Any thoughts?? My idea is to sell a bunch, put the money aside and get a really nice Martin. Even after I sell the ones I am thinking of, I will still have a fairly impressive collection. If I have any remorse, I can easily build up another collection. I do have a knack for finding great deals. Opinions welcome.
