Do I see some Lap Steel in your future? I went through a run of buying several 40s and 50s Lap Steels for next-to no money- I'm sure a gentleman with your resources could find a real peach... Nothin' but Love to you, my friend

*WASTED* Couldn't have been better. Good Friends, Good Music, Good times! Life is too fuckin short! Geoff

"Are You Happy Now?" By Richard Shindell (from the album Sparrows Point) You took the toaster when you went You never paid your half the rent You took the spices from the rack But you don’t have to put them back Cause in your haste on Halloween You left your camera on the bed Where we played roles in black and white You left a role of black and white I set the timer and thought of you And put the lense up to my head I took a photograph for you What comes out gray is really red Are you happy now? I smashed your pumpkin on the floor The candle flickered at my feet As goblins flew across the room The children peered into the room A cowboy shivered on the porch As Cinderella checked her watch A hobo waited in the street An angel whispered, trick-or-treat But what was I supposed to do But to sit there in the dark? I was amazed to think that you Could take the candy with you too Are you happy now? I’ve sat all night and now it’s dawn And I cannot believe my eyes There’s garbage strewn across the lawn Where we once stared up at the sky And streams of paper fill the tree That hovered over you and me Shaving cream covers the car That we picked up in Baltimore Though I know it’s hard to tell I hope that what’s-his-name treats you well I still maintain that he’s a bum But it’s your money – have some fun And are you happy now? You always asked why I had not Written you a verse or two Since that’s the one thing I regret I dedicate this one to you Are you happy now? Are you?

What's the story with the 12 string? condition, action etc. Thanks! Geoff Great action, does NOT need a neck reset, had a pro refret recently, some scuffs on the back like buckle rash but I don't know how they managed that ( see pic of the back) face of guitar is quite clean for a 40 yr old. Original silver tolex hard case..I saw one of those go for $860 on eBay...just the case! aSeems to be all there except for the refret it appears original but I'm not a Ric expert. Price is firm @ $3000, seeing them in the $4500 range at dealers now. Ser. # puts it at March, 1966. I assume this was the 12-string you are asking about, if not let me know if it's the Ymaha..the Guild is gone. Haha! Sorry, Yeah I was curious about the yamaha.

DaveL, What's the story with the eclipse?

Any offers? Trades?

Thanks brother! Its a great guitar and I would really like to see it in the hands of someone who will just totally love it and rock out with it

I do have pics of the bucker version if you'd like?... It's silver, but not motorcycle metal-flake if ya get me. The neck is nice and solid, but not a baseball bat. Any other Vanguard fans out there?

Howdy folks! I have a 99 Silver p90 Vanguard I just don't use enough to keep around. Have used on many gigs and recordings including my most recent, which was produced by the fantabulastic Matt Smith. (check out My MySpace Profile for clips, and links to iTunes etc.) Comes with original case, some rust on hinge, but otherwise kosher. I have the humbucker version as well, so that suits my needs better. No rush to liquidate, just thought that there might be someone in desperate need of one This one is currently at a local shop, but I thought I'd offer it up to the HFCers for first dibs, before it goes local, or eBay. You know what this looks like. If someone needs pictures, I'll go down and do it for SERIOUS OFFERS only. I just got back from two weeks teaching at the National Guitar Workshop in Austin, then CT and Im going back for two more weeks. So I'll be in town til the end of the week if you have questions. Looking for around $800. I'm partial to eclipses, 12strings, unusual artists; maybe we can swing a Subtone deal. Who knows. Let 'Er Rip. email is geoff_hartwell@yahoo.com

A-ha! Sweeeet. Can you post a pic of the routed area/bridge/tailpiece? Thanks! Geoff

Are there any indications that it came from the custom shop? COA, logo etc. Thanks! Geoff
