Hey Guys,
Long time no post. My apologies. I was very busy working a lot AND at Noon July 3rd got married in NYC to my best friend and lady, Nan.
My plans are to move to New Jersey in early October and I am selling most of my gear. Gonna pare it down to a couple acoustics. Here's what's for sale and how much:
1969 Gibson Super 400 (blonde cutaway two pickup) $6000.00
1981 Ibanez GB-10N (clean and pristine) $1600.00
1970 Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp (blackfaced) $1000.00
1999 Mesa Boogie Maverick Amp (quilted maple cab) $1600.00
1979 Greco SW1200 (sort of a Byrdland style guitar) $1200.00
1977 Alvarez Yairi DY96 $2600.00 (Google that one !!)

There will be more but for now that is the big stuff. I spent some time reading and you all sound happy and healthy. Mazeltov

A Photobucket link with pics of the DY96, Super 400 and GB10... the parlor guitar on the bed is long gone. Just a teaser photo, anyone wanting more photos that has a serious interest in any of my gear, kindly contact me at the above places.

Back shot of the Super 400 - the guitar was built in mid 1969 - when Gibson switched back to the rounded cutaway and yet just a tad before they went to the super skinny necks.

Six,

Thanks for the good wishes - I'm raising money to move across country to be with my wife. If she had her way I'd keep all my guitars... I got one of the good ones... But I'll let Tom Wait's lyrics (probably more recognized as a Bruce Springsteen song) tell you the rest. It's ALL GOOD...


you know she thrills me with all her charms,
when i'm wrapped up in my baby's arms,
my little angel gives me everything,
i know someday that she'll wear my ring.

so don't bother me cause i got no time,
i'm on my way to see that girl of mine,
nothin' else matters in this whole wide world,
when you're in love with a jersey girl,
sing sha la la la la la la.

BigMike:

Congratulation! You two make a great couple.

Trading CA for NJ???? Hmmmm, having lived in NJ all my life (except for a year in PA), I'd rather be going the opposite direction. :-)

Maybe we'll be able to meet up in the future.

You've got a fine stash of guitars there! BTW, I sold my electric and amp when I got married. Even though my Melody Maker and Peavy couldn't hold a candle to your stable, I did regret it years later. It wasn't the equipment I missed, but the memories.

Big~ You seem happier than ever, my friend. And the photos show it. I bet you won her over with your charm AND culinary skills.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Thanks Fellas,

All the good wishes are sincerely appreciated. I've been a bachelor a LONG TIME, and always wanted to settle down with the right lady. And it sorta happened when I wasn't looking, when I least expected it.

Stay in touch Chazmo...

In my experience, I observe that it's rare to find the right person when you're looking. It just seems to happen when it happens. Congrats, Mike, and definitely let's stay in touch on that A-Y.

Bobzilla,
I am going to hang onto an old parlor guitar (with a Antonio Tsai inlalid fingerboard) and MAYBE my GB10... But I know when it comes time I can always find what I want if I just look hard enough. Now a really good and loyal woman who really understands and cares for you - well my friend, that's priceless...

Big

ps thanks for the good wishes.
