Food for thought, Joey............ Image

I've never had a green pair of shoes...... could be something a bit different for SoCal '07!

I suspect Joey was talking about alligator shoes Aitch. Now that would be different. They might get you into a spot of trouble when you go through customs though.

I was talking about alligator shoes, but hey, green shoes that match the guitar would look pretty cool also! Image

Green alligator shoes, Brian!

Well, considering that he is part Irish that might be OK. Image

Very good, Aitch.

You likely said before, but where and when did you pick up the 350?

Hi Stan. I was lucky enough to win a US ebay auction for it around June last year - $1399 USD, which I considered to be an absolute bargain!! It was in Pennsylvania.

There was a Monty Brown 350/12v63 on ebay in December (I think), which I would have loved to snare but other commitments precluded it. Image

A fine price indeed, and a great lookin' 350!! A 350 MB was what I was after originally, but wound up buying the 330. Neither was easy to find, and the 350 was impossible at the time. As a matter of fact, the 330 came from a family owned dealer in Savannah, Georgia,

Savannah, Aitch? You have not been Really Southern in the US until you have been to New Orleans Image Savannah is the frozen northeast compared to the Easy.

Aitch, BTW, $1399? Where do you find such great deals? I just overpaid $7500 for a 21-fretter January 1970 4001 Image
