So, I scored a decent acoustic guitar today on FB Marketplace. Unheard of to get a Cole Clark for under a grand. I got this for $800. I've never had a decent acoustic before and this one is pretty enough to live in the lounge room. It's 100 Fahrenheit outside today so it's a good day for air con and a new guitar.

A couple more pics out in my "Doing Stuff" room with some good natural light.

I think it's mahogany but Cole usually uses a lot of native woods so it could be anything.

The tone. Those are very warm sounding guitars.

Good snag.

Reminds me of the parlor Martin.

The wood grain on that guitar is tight. That's a dense lump of lumber.

I'd love to hear it played.

Quote from Gina

Are you going to relic it?

I'm going to hook it up to the tow bar for a couple of days.

Needsa bunch of sweetwater stickers.

If you play it lots and use oils on your fingers it will quickly acquire a patina.

Artificially aging the product looks as just that.

I can't play for shit but I love reading this kind of technical stuff

“I had to find out how they were getting that sound.” How George Harrison, banjo and a studio accident inspired Roger McGuinn’s invention of folk rock

The Byrds’ guitarist was later told he influenced Harrison to write a Beatles’ classic. “We had some cross-pollination,” he says

Well,

Looks like Reverb.com finally paid off. It's been a year or two but I finally got real action on both of my listings.

The N.i.B. Moogerfooger sold first. Close to list, then, I got a bite on the Rhodes the day after I shipped the Moog, at list. The only wrinkle is the buyer's in L.A. I didn't really want to ship but...2 years. And he seems to really want that particular specimen.

Thanks to whoever recommended them. I think I'll pimp some more gear. There's too much stuff laying about I'll never use.

I'm getting my best buys and sells on Facebook Marketplace lately. I got my Firebird on it for nearly half the cheapest one on Reverb and I've sold about 15 pedals and two amps for what I asked for them.

A lot of my stuff is like one of ones, home-built from parts or modified, and every time I put a guitar up there, somebody starts picking my shit apart, and it hurts my little feelers. I'm gonna find the conversation that I had with a guy, and so you can all see what a whiny little bitch I am....
