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.

godofthunder · September 29, 2011, 05:22:12 AM

I have been looking for one of those also I just can't swing it now hope you get it Dennis! I have a '76 pattern

and I can do the 60s logo on it. My black '76 with one of my guards.

Denis · September 29, 2011, 06:52:46 AM

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.

Denis · September 29, 2011, 09:35:28 AM

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

Decisions, decisions...

godofthunder · September 29, 2011, 12:42:42 PM

Tough part to find, If you don't I will! let me know.

Nocturnal · September 29, 2011, 07:04:41 PM

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.

godofthunder · September 30, 2011, 04:59:27 AM

Dennis if you can afford it jut buy the bloody thing!

Denis · October 01, 2011, 06:01:09 AM

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

Now he's not responding. $:-\$

Denis · October 05, 2011, 06:23:59 AM

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!

I saw one was relisted yesterday. Is that the one you bought?
