The Gibson banjo that needs work seems like a bargain. Where do people get this kind of money?

What is your name?

What is your favourite colour?

What is the air speed velocity of a swallow?

Uuuhhh, is that a Fender swallow or a Gibson swallow?

BOOM!

I couldn't figure out anything else to say after laying eyes on the Holy Grail of all Mando-idiots . . . *BG*
