My oldest brother still has his 1973 Les Paul sunburst he bought it new in 73 with hard case. It just sits in his closet now.

My main guitar is a Fender Strat, but my baby is a 1960’s era Gibson Classical made in Kalamazoo.

Instant lessons on youtube now. And I’ve used it too.

The terror of the swamp reached out and touched Gibson Guitars 5 or 6 years ago. Even after only one exposure, long ago, The Swamp claims another seemingly non involved victim.

Everyone of my relatives that still play guitar are in Oklahoma and Arkansas now. Hubby has a few super nice, expensive, electric guitars but no longer plays because of the arthritis in his hands. We have a local music shop that buys and resells vintage guitars. Maybe I’ll take it down there and see what Artie will give me for it. Easier than selling online and I really need to start getting rid of stuff we no longer need or use.
Glad you still play and your inventory is used. That’s nice.

No kidding! YT is great for that. I do hate learning a killer note-for-note shredding solo from a 14 year old kid though. :^)

No clue other than one is a Les Paul and one is a telecaster?
I don’t know guitars.

LOL! Well, I haven’t gotten to the point where I don’t get called on. Not yet anyway even though I am having an issue with the ulnar nerve affecting my ring finger and pinky on my fretting hand. Just push through. Tough to make bar chords but I adapt. Hope you do well with moving your guitar.

Just looked a couple places and it doesn’t like there are many out there for sale. Condition could play a part but I’m thinkin’ $3,000 minimum or better to the right person. The ones I do see are pushing well over $5k.

Very good article.!
The cynic would say such things are inevitable
politicians always try to reward their friends and contributors.
Thats a good argument against allowing so much
regulatory power to accumulate,
until it reaches the point where corruption is so endemic
that few dare to call it corruption any more.
And efforts to keep the government
honest grow notably less effective
as the size of government increases;
the State ends up perpetually investigating itself,
but no one of stature ever seems to take a fall.

Unlike the old days, playing one like that would require a bar stool at least to sit on. Certainly not Chuck Berry’in behind the head pickin’ with it either. ;-)
