Sweet top!

 

[aphantomvaper]

Wowowee! That's super nice looking. Enjoy the Bigsby I didn't notice anyone cranking it in the images though. Functional?

 

[Sybo]

Are the streets made of gold where you live? Certainly looks like a heavenly experience with some great friends!

Congrats Hans
I’ve seen two for sale about 2 years back
One pretty beat up in the UK and one in Portugal but this.was before you started the hunt .
Enjoy

Drugs are bad…mmmkay.

Congratulations Hans, she’s a beauty.

Good work from Mr dB.

Love the photos. Steve you’re looking trim.

Edit:

Hans and Markie, you look gorgeous too.

NGD with my besties in Indiana. We’re yuckin it up at Markie’s place today. Headed to PfennRock’s place tomorrow.

I’m super excited about this guitar and have an update planned that should be pretty cool (stay tuned). Been looking for one of these for a few years. Can’t believe how hard it was to find one with the maple top. I even started a ‘wanted’ thread in August 2021 to get some help, which is always risky. That kind of desperation usually just raises interest (and competition) from other buyers.

In the end, my man Sergio found this needle in the haystack for me. Given that he’s the reason I even wanted one in the first place, it only makes sense.

Twinzies at last, @sergiodeblanc !

Hobbit feet...

I offered to pay for pedicures when he came into town. He bailed.

Always nice to have a successful hunt, even better to have a great day with great friends!

So, I know it’s hard to believe, but Markie had a Bad Cat amp that Hanso had to have. Now, how to get it back to Germany? I had this Gator case that fit the cab perfectly. We took it to the USPS, and it just met the under clearance.







That accomplished, we headed home for more guitararama. It wore Hans out, so he had to take a break



Then it was off to dinner

Final evening session. We played a lot of guitar over these past 3 days. Love these guys like brothers.





The coveted CE Koa



Headed to the airport in the am. What a terrific time we had!

looks like fun, but three guitarists and no synth wizard?

 

[Tom Bradovich]

What a beautiful guitar! And, to top it all off, good buddies to share good times and music with.

 

[alantig]

How is it that Markie looks like he got younger?

 

[dmatthews]

Bloody marvelous.

 

[jxe]

and where the girls at? and where the dinner?
