Does anyone have an extra $13,000 I can have?

Add another $13,500 and you can also own one of only 250 Crossroads 335s from the same vendor. Actually played by Eric Clapton himself!

David, this is a Chicago vendor...do you by chance know who he might be? (I used to have a friend Billy who dealt guitars there in the '70s; wondering if it's him...)

The '67 365 is a real beauty. The Accent arm has been bent to Hell it seems, but that's easily mended.

Lovely...

Paul, I don't. I always feel "appointment only" means, they don't want my kind.

Sounds like the sort of thing Billy would do. He was a Chicago cop...

That 381 is amazing; it's almost surreal. But it's 2 alimony payments and the reserve isn't even met.

Oh well...

Hey Paul - curious why you think they are in Chicago. I'm pretty sure that 381 is in Atlanta...

Go to "Visit this seller's store" link. They claim to be one of the largest vintage dealers inthe Chicago area.
