Mr. Foxen Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Helping a friend sell off a pile of guitar parts left by the sad passing of her father (John Hanmore, apparently a respected guitarist), including a pile of left in a shed for 40+ years guitar bits. I sent some photos to some possibly interested parties, and two expressed interest in [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300564620188&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"]this pile of parts[/url] Figured that might be a bit far gone, but apparently not.

Mykesbass Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Something very melancholic yet beautiful about that old guitar - if I had any idea how to restore these things I'd be all over it like a rash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 And of all the nice things I have up for sale, that one gets a bid. From Norway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 That guitar organ might be the same as one that Richie Havens used to have. I can't find any information on it on a quick google, but I remember him being interviewed by Guitarist two or three decades ago (or maybe a little more) and he had a guitar organ using that split fret system. The interview also mentioned that it weighed a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Some years ago I had a few dead Betamaxes. The plan was to fix them as it was a superior recording format to VHS. The situation was aggravated by a friend who kept finding them at the local tip and bringing therm round. Eventually I had to get rid of them as the garage was going to be demolished and rebuilt so in 2004 I started to sell them on Ebay. The going rate for a completely clapped out and dead Betamax was £40 per unit. Amazing what people will buy. One guy came all the way from South Wales to collect a pair.
