Dang, this guy's proud of it! If it was a third of that price I'd do it.

Denis, 
 If you can find someone to make it for you, I'm happy to lend you one of mine as a pattern.

Well, I made the guy an offer so we'll see. I think I have an NOS '60s pg around somewhere but what's on my Fenderbird now is one of Scott's pgs.

Received a counter offer from the seller. I can afford it, but SHOULD I afford it...?

Decisions, decisions...

Dennis, are you going to be able to find another one cheaper? They don't show up often (or affordable). I can't remember the last one that popped up before this one.

Haha, all right, all right, I wrote and told him I'd accept his counteroffer to my counteroffer to my declined offer.

It's done, for better or for worse.

I guess I could justify it since I sold some stuff and was reimbursed for the loss of the Jerry Jones.
Also, now my Fenderbird will be all period correct!
