HEY HEY Good idea for a new topic.Try lookin for a used case I found one at a local guitar shop for 35.00 just a few weeks ago.My guitar has been in a gig bag for 30+ years. I don't play the guitar but I do have a beauty.A 1960 Fender Strat I got in 1967 at a local music store for 150.00,or I should say my momma got it for me so's I could join in on the rock and roll band with my buddies.Jodie quit,Jimmie got married and I was crappy and got demoted to tambourine man,then to light show guy.Thems were the daze alright.... an interesting story I found earlier this evening. Some specialized businesses weather the slowdown better. C.F. Martin & Co. in Nazareth filled half a dozen orders for a new abalone pearl inlaid guitar selling for a pricey - even for Martin - $50,000. Martin also has lately added guitars in the $600 to $1,000 range to its traditional models starting above $2,000. Chairman Christian F. Martin IV said many devotees remain willing to pay, regardless of recession, for the resonant instruments Gene Autry, Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney have played, and 2001 sales rose 15 percent. the rest of the(sad)stories-from Lucent to Bras to Hershey bars to guitars pittsburghlive.com cheers be seein ya later D.A.
