razze06 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I think he made a typo and added an extra naught at the end.

I think he'll do well to replace "investor" with "my uncle, who then stuck in the loft behind the water tank and forgot about until he passed away and we cleared out his stuff" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ras52 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 [color=#000000]The [/color][color=#000000]Concord[/color][color=#000000] range gained a reputation of being so easy to play due to their super high build quality, hence the name “The Players Guitar”.[/color] As opposed to the loft-stuffing uncle's guitar....

Happy Jack Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 When I see "The Players Guitar" I imagine an instrument made of No.6 cigarettes ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Maybe you'd get a free card in the case? If you go through Westones at the rate I do you'd complete the album in no time. Heaven knows what he would want for a mint Paduak or Prestige, which were the more collectible models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Anyone with a Custom Shop Strat is going to be wishing they'd saved their money. Not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
