my esquire store is better than that one nevin.
it would churn your insides bro.
yeah the kid probably doesnt even play to this day.

Wow,a trade like that is a once in a life time thing.I once traded a wah wah pedal,a set of headphones and $20 for a 66 Vox Phantom XII and I thought I was doing good but Randy's trade really has me beat.

if i had a way to tell you privately i would. it would blow your mind nevin.
im still in shock lol. its one of those stories that sound so lucky
(right place right time) you just dont know if you can believe it.
i still go to the bank every couple weeks just to see it again and make sure lol. and oh man does she sound fan-freakin-tastic too.

what if i told you under $350 ?

we guesstimate it to be worth a great deal. the case is in good shape and there were even extra strings from the era as well as a pitch pipe.
(better known as case candy) so i found a bank that would house it for me.
its gonna cost a bit annually but thats ok.
i took the pic down as you saw for a reason lol.

from research, there just wasnt many of these made nevin.
protection is priority #1.
ive been in contact with a couple museums that are interested. one is over in italy noless. lol
ive never heard a guitar sing like this one. its amazing. crystal clear too.
sounds killer through the blues jr too.
when i go, this fiddle is coming with me bro lol.

yes but the type of screws used on the plate suggests 1950 according to george gruhn. w/o seeing it of course.
so i take it you liked the other pics as well huh? lol
the wiring is insane isnt it? ive had 100's of guitars apart and never seen
anything like that before. george says with case and candy it should bring more than you posted even in a downed economy.
in 2007 a 52 went for 35k at christys, but it didnt have a case or the candy to go with it. now you realize why its been vaulted up right?

in 1950 the guitar started out w/o tress rod. over several months
the guitar was recalled, from the very few that actually owned them.
the issue was a couple had some warped necks.
the word got out and very few moved from shelves after that.
leo quickly recalled the ones he could get in his hands and replaced the necks with the truss rod versions and sent them back to the customers that would have them, again very very few.
in aug of 1950 (i believe it was) the new shipment to stores went out with truss rods installed.

jeff beck played one for a long time, so did bruce springsteen.
both of which terribly altered their guitars to where 90% of their collectable value is gone, BUT, being who they are gave their guitars a different kind of collectable desire.

how dare you post tele porn on such a site as this?
ive seen this video several times.
hes got the collection bro. if you watch any of his youtube videos, this guy rocks azz on a tele and loves them dearly. very humble dude too. if i were still into metal this cat would be on my all time fav list at about 3 or 4.
hes so bad azz man.

ok word from the top is tele porn is ok, it TAILY porn thats not allowed. lol

i just ruined a perfectly good pair of pants thanks to that broadcaster....

Thanks to that video I think I found one of the few people who loves Teles more than I do...... if I even saw an original Broadcaster and/or Nocaster I would die of heart attack kinda like I did when I saw a '62 ES-335 in Cherry red and a 60's 335 12 strings.... since the Tele and 335 are the only guitars that like REALLY matter to me lol

I think I need to take a trip to Hollywood now just so I can surround myself in vintage awesomeness lol

That's effing nuts. A Mosrite Mk I is worth a couple or more LPs, often sight unseen.

If a Strat is a hot Mustang and an LP a hopped up Camaro...

...a Mosrite Mk I ia a freaking Ferrari.

This ain't jive talking, either.

I'm not a huge Ferrari fan and I'd take a Camaro any day of the week lol

And I'd take a Les Paul over a Mosrite... not a huge fan of those guitars either
