Thread Name: GAS fix, new axe.
Subject: RE: GAS fix, new axe.
Well, since the beginning of the year I have sold three guitars and bought none...
... but I need another resonator. My Regal stell bodied is fine fir what its fine fir but I'm gonna need a dobro style reso fir jammin' with the folks at Archie Edwards Barber Shop in D.C... I've been trying to keep up with either my old D-18 Martin or my two year old Hohner but I hate store bought finger picks. Thats what fingers is for! But I'm fallin' behind without a wood bodied reso...
I do have one other guitar which I am not playing much and if someone has a decent playin' (looks don't matter) to trade it's a 1935 Gobson tenor... Plays and sounds great fir a tenor. Might of fact, its the best tenor I've ever owned out of a half a dozen of them...
As fir GAS... I did have a major temptattion. A 1932 National, S-style, plectum tricone... in perfect condition.... Oh, how I wanted that guitar! It was down at Picker Supply in Fredricksburg< va. and Bran Dillard, the owner, brought it out from his office just to mess wid me. I played it fir about 10 minutes and figured that I just needed to hand it back to him and say, "Ahhhh, no thanks" which is what I did...
Thought about that guitar every day for a month and called back. It was sold. $4000.00! Hey, I coulda borrowed that much and should have! Danged...
