…rock and roll will never die
so i bought myself a new geetar this weekend. an epiphone chet atkins solid body acoustic. natural finish. the high quality make from several years ago, not one of the new junky ones that are made in china.
i was looking at stuff on ebay, and it just struck me. – i wanted this guitar. so i waited for the bid to end thursday night, and wound up in a bidding war with some other guy. we wound up driving the price up to about $450, after shipping. shit, he can keep it for that much.
so then i started calling around, and I was about to cave in and buy one from music123.com, where the salesman there told me he could get me a new one for $325. then i started looking around on ebay, and found it.
it was 225 dollars. no one had bid on it yet, and the auction was going to end. so i emailed the guy and told him that i was interested in buying it, and wanted to know if he would meet me halfway and make the trade in person instead of doing it on ebay and shipping it (he lives about 30 minutes from here.)
he was cool with it, so we met up and traded guitar for check. $300 got me the chet and a hardshell molded case (which is probably worth $75 alone.)
here’s some pictures that I took from the ebay auction. i haven’t actually taken any of my own pictures yet. note that these will open a new window.
maybe i’ll take some pictures sometime soon. i think i’m about due for a color change too, but i don’t want to seem too ambitious.
actually, it may be good for me to play with the site more often, just to keep me from getting TOO rusty with my computer skills. can’t say i use my progamming or web design too much anymore now that i’m out of school and working in an accounting office.
and hell, maybe i’ll even finish the incomplete parts of the website. maybe not, but we’ll see, i guess.
