Used M75 Goldtop Syndrom

[LeFinPepere]

This is to report the feverish symptoms I have been through since I spotted this mint baby. I know many people here have experienced that. I do not need another guitar.I just need this one! More urgent stuff to buy, many many down-to-earth things to be cared for, cracks in a wall, fix the car, green-moisture in the bathroom, potato-peeling,dentist...My wife certainly disapproves (What??There's already one guitar in each room!!) Dogs disapprove.(noodling guitar=no walk!) The guy in my mirror disapproves "You already got the Dearmond m75-it's basically the same stuff!"- Nope! this one's hollow! It's got the Almighty Franz Pups! it's enshrined in pure 24-carat gorgeous Gold from the ancient mines of Eldorado!-It comes in a magnificent dark-blue-Mink-stuffed case!!And those G-knobs!! Aw, you suck! Brush you teeth, nitwit!!! This guitar is only 120 kms away from here, I can almost feel it! Grab 600 bucks, get in the car, full throttle, meet the fellow,nervously check the guitar (play my most-complicated jazz chords and jaw-dropping licks), 99 per cent chances I love it, deal! (and he's selling a s-100 with Bigsby as well,not interessed, but might as well check it too!)But, he mailed me I'm second-on-the-list, someone came in first, not sure he will buy it, probably some lousy bum who will butcher Wonderwall on it, I hate his guts, OOOOOOH, sometimes I feel like Greg Allman !!! Maybe some herbal tea might soothe all these torments? Camomile?Meadowsweet?

They were nice guitars and the case is an added bonus! For €520 you can't make a lot wrong with her.

Get it!

I never even used to like goldtops!

It's even worse after you get one because you immediately start to crave one in black and sunburst.

Then you start to think about whether your 10-year old Toyota will bring in enough cash on the used market to fund a vintage Aristocrat.

And there's a picture of a pale blue Aristocrat somewhere on Pinterest! Arghhhh! Does anyone know about this particular guitar?

Get it, you won't regret it.

I'm still searching for another magical Bluesbird goldtop. I previously owned a players grade custom shop model. I really loved the neck profile.

I believe my US Goldtop Bluesbird may have the largest neck of any Guild I've measured.

Dibs!

(and he's selling a s-100 with Bigsby as well,not interessed, but might as well check it too!)

What's he want for the S-100?

 

[GAD]

Dibs!

Check it out:



It beats out my green Blues-90s by .02". The only guitar I currently own with a larger neck is a Gibson Custom Shop Made-2-Measure R9 that has to be 1" deep.

Love your narrative. Good luck! Maybe you will soon learn that Mr. First-in-Line passed on it. Keep us informed - with a narrative, time permitting.

What's he want for the S-100?

660 Euros=765 usd case included,gotoh tuners and Bigsby.

 

[krysh]

Get both!

 

[SFIV1967]

The S-100 is a first generation one with the small humbuckers, it was built in 2012 already, before they were even announced in 2013. Tuners and bigsby are aftermarket. But it has the original hardcase which is already €150 alone.
