Jim, I was not talking about the buyer of this Aug-Sept 58 Capri with the above comments. I was talking about the guy that Jeff mentioned.
The Guy who bought the Capri is none other than Dave Kim, a really nice guy, avid Rick collector, and a fellow physician to boot. I highly recommend him to anyone as a friendly and avid collector. He also has had bad experiences with folks selling him "misrepresented" vintage guitars having blatantly undisclosed or concealed problems, like the 63 bass I bought from the party mentioned by Jeff
He also collects late-fifties and early-sixties Gibsons, but right now he is self-admittedly Rick-heavy. Dave is still trying to buy some of John Williams' guitars after 8 years so far of trying, unsuccessfully I might add...John?
Dave is also considering pulling the auction anyway for his 59 Capri, by the way, so please don't think he in any way listed it just to try to draw attention (and bids) away from the beautiful 58 he wound up winning.
Here is a link to one of his posts in the Thick Body Capri thread last year:

By the way, Bob, I do agree that guitars like this should go to active Forumites who desperately want them. So, Dave, here is your wakeup call to get more active on this Forum and quit spending so much time over at the Fender and Gibson Fora!! !!
