sirDaniel Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 for 8K? ouch. That would make Greg's TV worth about 60K
cmatthes Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I can remember passing on those for $750-$800 as recently as 10-12 years ago.At the time, it was tough to GIVE those away!
Turdus Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 20 years ago, one of those sat in the front window of an antique store, in a small Virginia town. You could clearly see it marked at $199. I drove by the thing for at least a year. When it was finally gone, I stopped in to ask about it. Bought by a guy, and shipped to Japan was the answer.
serial Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I passed on one at the Fall Philly show in '99 at $550. Played nicely (other than the typical neck wobble) and was pretty clean, but it had a crack on the face by the controls. In retrospect, I should've picked it up!
cmatthes Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Seriously - I had one on hold for me (at $600) at a little shop at the Beach and ended up buying something else because I couldn't get over the warped pickguard at the time.(Why oh why?!)
Hackubus Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Heh heh, I rescued a '62 from a co-worker (who had kept it in the GARAGE for the last 5 years) for next to nothing a few years back. Mine's not as clean, but equally killer.
Stokesdead Posted December 4, 2006 Author Posted December 4, 2006 Sorry I didn't know what these were worth I just knew Greg liked the SG juniors~CS
Hackubus Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 It's cool man, I hadn't noticed it on the TGP actually.
BCR Greg Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Wow, that's about 3X what it's worth at present, which means it will be low next year.
Jeff R Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 When we moved into a new home in '99, I noticed my new neighbor across the street had two guitars leaning against a wall under his carport while he was cleaning his storage room. When I went over to meet him (and sneak a peek at the axes), I about hit the dirt when sitting next to a cheap no-name acoustic was a beat-up '60s SG with a pair of P-90s.When he revealed he would never sell it for sentimental reasons (it was his deceased brother's guitar), I told him what he had in that guitar in addition to a personal reminder of his sibling. I also took it home, cleaned it up really good and set it up for him. He keeps in his den now, on a stand.

BCR Greg Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Townshend had a penchant for those... You mean Townsend?? http://www.petetownshend.co.uk/ Uh, no. I mean Townshend.
serial Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Ummm, the guitar picks that Greg and I got from the show do say "Pete Townshend" on them.
Stokesdead Posted December 5, 2006 Author Posted December 5, 2006 Yeah it was a pretty lame post. lets talk about duane allman now.I know how to spell his name.
Brewmaster Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 You mean Dwayne Almond? I think he meant Donnie Osmond.
serial Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Donnie WAS the rocker in that family. Well, a little bit.
serial Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Damn-that's a coincidence and a half! I'm spinning that on my iPod right now, along with Creedence's "Bathroom on the Right" and Clapton's "Bald Headed Man"
santellavision Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I'm spinning that on my iPod right now, along with Creedence's "Bathroom on the Right" and Clapton's "Bald Headed Man"Those aren't the words? Wow, I have to re-listen to all my old favorites, like Jimi's "Excuse me, while I kiss this guy".
