Actually, its in a pawn shop down here. The rig workers often have quite a bit of money when they come ashore from two weeks out in the gulf. They tend to spend it like water and end up with diddly and end up facing financial and legal problems before returning offshore. This tends to be rather beneficial to anyone carring to shop at pawn shops.

My wife is something of a thrift shopper and has (since losing about 100 lbs) refilled her closet with a new wardrobe for around $100.00. She saw the guitar while shopping with a friend and liked it enough to suggest I get it. She seemed to think it was the right price at $500.00.

I'm a little concerned that it might be stolen goods but I'll request info from the local PD (we have a good working relationship).

My wife has just suggested that I'm not cheating on the other guitar, just adding another voice to the "harem". What a woman!
