Hey guys,
Thanks so much for keeping up the discussion on this sweet guitar. I've had a few offers here from fellow LTGers.
We have a lot of great guitar shops in the Tampa area, and I'll try my chances at those in the future. I am sure I'll be low-balled! For example, we just had a new Music Go Round open in Bradenton (home of the Pirates training camp - Go Bucs!) and their offer was laughable (in retrospect, I think the guy looking at it was comparing it to prices of newer Guild M-20s, as he said he came up with his low offer as the ones on the internet looked like they never came out the of case...didn't hit me til later that he had no idea he was looking at a 1965...seems that if its not a Martin or Gibson, these guys don't know what we have.)
I'm a little more motivated now that I bought a used car for my daughter. Only issue is I wouldn't ship during cold weather.
Thanks again!
Jim
