Gibson Guitars

conservatively...that's $100,000.00 worth of guitars there...amazing collection

$5,000 right there

Who's 'he'?

L3 1929....when the wood was flamed

A J-50 in the hands of a semi-famous folk singer.

I had a 1968 model but I found it hard to play.

Well, I imagine he's spent a fair bit of money over the years collecting guitars and having them repaired. He has a really good luthier. His favourite is the 1933. He will sell some, but for just enough to cover his costs, not much profit (maybe $250) which I think is really decent.

What do you play? Blues? Folk? What?

I play in a country band, but I started out in a bluegrass band and saw a lot of these guitars.

Mame's never said

Yah, I did, in the originating thread (the one that spawned this one) - 'he' is Alex, who I live with, who plays blues on acoustic guitars, preferably old ones. He has over 40 in total, some of them Gibsons.

He also has a fantastic Clifford Parlor, and these;

And that's all I know. End of story. Can't even read music or sing in key. But i LOVE the BLUES.

I should have said: Panzade: "I never paid attention"

In any case, I hope there's a good insurance policy in place. I would think Alex could open a museum with that lot.

Well, I don't know if they're listed with his insurance agent but he's got them all on a database with their dimensions from every whichway to Sunday , what he paid, when he bought them, etc etc etc. Of course, this is a guy who has also a database of every SciFi book he's read, has all his bridge magazines from all the way back to the '70s, and has collected over 100 different whisky glasses.

I get the picture.
Does he play bridge on line?

You probably do get the picture.

I don't think he does play bridge online - do you?

yes...I thought I might play as his partner.

Are you good?

sometimes...sometimes I'm bad
