Prodigal Guitar Returns

[Aaron1061]

Sold her over a year ago when we were moving into our first house and about to welcome our first baby into the world. Hated having to sell it because it’s just so darn amazing but knew it was for the best.

Fast forward to last week. Sold our home, moved states to start a new job, and reached out to the guy I sold it to in the slim chance he still had it or even would be willing to sell it back to me.

He did. And she’s home. For good.

[mbkri]

Wonderful. AND a new job! Way to go!

 

[SneakyPete]

Woohoo! Love those, congrats!

Congratulations on both life improving events, the return of your guitar, and the new baby.
I always played the guitar when the children were babies, it was a challenge to see what songs would comfort them.
All three of mine were different from Bach to Rock and everything else in between, one even became a Music major, so you never know.

 

[Teledriver]

THAT is a unique guitar, worthy of trying to get it back. Beautiful!

 

[Baba Joe]

Wow! Congrats

 

[Mikethomas]

Can you still get that finish today from Gretsch? I’ve always wanted a duo jet in that finish but I don’t believe they still offer it?

 

[Romeozdistress]

Awesome story.

 

[hcsterg]

I'd be pleased to find the same in LH !



A+!

Great story! The first time I saw one of those was in a pic with Carl Perkins.

 

[Pemberton]

Wonderful! I’m sure you’ll never sell it again, because the chances of getting it back twice are even slimmer. —enjoy!

 

[SAguitar]

That is wonderful! Congratulations on all the good news!

 

[JC higgy]

I bought a lefty American Standard strat new from Dave's in 2011. Sold it. Traded to get it back. Traded it. Bought it back. And now, for St. Patrick's Day, I am selling my surf green strata-loveo-caster. I feel I need to share the love. The lefty world is small, and as far as instruments go, kind of can get a bit Incestuous... I am selling this on craigslist and reverb. I know, if I ever get a strat again, my first choice will be this... if it is available... But I am getting old, so there's that...

When I bought it at Dave's, I had them put in three different custom Harmonic Design strat, lefty pickups.
