Hello
Finally after many weeks negotiation there will be a new old Guild sent to me tomorrow. I saw the ad at Finnish musician forum - was too much money for me - price was o.k. but I just don´t have da loot. And he would not trade to anything but money. So I told the seller, that whoever buys it could call me so I maybe would see that beauty someday - fondle it and be sorry for not getting it. Few days later the new guy calls me - after long talking and finding out we have plenty common colleagues - and him discovering my affectionate love for Guild - he said he might consider trading it to some other stuff that he needs. Naturally the price had nudged up some, but then it is only a question of finding something, that I do not need anymore and he might be happy with.
Really a win-win - I get rid of "useless stuff" - he gets some "useful stuff" - besides he, too, has plenty of guitars after this.
So after pondering MANY alternative deals we finally struck a deal half an hour ago. I will send him a bunch of microphones - I must have about 40 of them - all kinds. But I am also the Finnish rep for German MBHO mic maker - so naturally I use "my brand" on gigs. I let go a pair of AKG 451 - a Neumann KMS84 - a Shure S55 - a MBHO 219C -
The guitar should arrive by friday - and then I will start putting in pictures - non revealing first - and as you guess, I will let more visible.
I copied this idea in cold blood from the thread, where that gorgeous blue guitar, that made Mrs Frono almost start electric guitar playing...
Did I wake up your curiosity ?
