I like this!

ahh.... the old carefully worded catch more files with honey technique. Pete smart. Does GC allow you to plug in a big orange 50 foot extention cord?

Yes chuck, I am sure I was the highlight of those guys year. I was tempted to play Neil Young's Southern man.

Man, I have two guitars on there right now, both pretty reasonably priced at around half of what you can get the same thing for new at guitar center. I've had some of the most audacious lowball offers on them you could imagine. One's listed for $275 and someone literally offered me $75 ($100 if I had the case though! ha!). My phone number is listed on the ad but of course the person didn't actually CALL me, it was a text message. God forbid they had the balls to hear my voice over the phone and give me that offer with a straight face....ugh.

I may have spoken to soon. I made a deal with a guy yesterday to buy a Custom shop signed Peter Frampton Les Paul. We worked all day back on forth to make a deal. We made the deal, I went to that bank and went to pick up the guitar.

The guitar was 1.5 hours away. An hour into the drive he called my house and told my wife that he sold the guitar.
I was pissed, I was psyched to get that guitar and he wasted my whole afternoon.

Another CL douche bag.
