Hey Kenny,

There's one that looks a lot like this at the Gear Trader right here in Huntington Beach.

I was in there yesterday and they told me "it used to be owned by a Rickenbacker employee". They also said it had built in compression. They also said that it doesn't have a serial # on it.

It's got that same "brown burst" type color.

That's all I know, just thought I's pass it on.

The thot plickens!

No call back from TX yet. BOY am I ancy.

Right, I saw it the day they got it in (about six months back), and I didn't even make the Kenny connection---doh!

Anyways, the one in Texas seems to have more of the story matching up....let's hope for the best Kenny---that would be amazing dude!

[kennyhowes]

Seller has not yet written back. Should I be nervous?

[cjj]

He probably found out about this thread and is now trying to figure out how much to jack up the price...

[kennyhowes]

What to do...I sure wish he had a phone number in the ad...

[doctorwho]

Maybe you shouldn't have started your e-mail like this:

Greeting and Good Days to You, I am Mr. Sir Kenny Howes, the great-great-fifth cousin of the late Treasury Minister of ...

[kennyhowes]

Now in discussion.

My fingers are crossed for you Kenny! I hope that this is your guitar...

[cjj]

Fingers crossed, toes crossed, eyes...

[wints]

Becoming a great thread!

Fingers crossed for you too Kenny boy!

[kiramdear]

Lovin' it, absolutely riveted ...

[jdogric12]

Well????? Any word?

[kennyhowes]

Nuthin all weekend.

Nuthin all weekend.

I hate people that advertise stuff and then n ever respond to enquiries, what the hell happened to good old fashioned manners

[kennyhowes]

OK, he's responded. It's definitely my old guitar.

Thing is, he's holding firm on the price, and I know that guitar is hammered. The clear coat peeled off the neck at the heel, and there's checking on the entire face.

I also haven't heard back from Phlemmy or other Austinites, and the seller would rather not ship.

So I guess I need to figure out if it's worth $2500 to buy back a chunk of my youth.
