BubbaVO Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I need to sell some gear to get the cash to buy. A USA Studio Archtop Custom. JB/'59 buckers. It's got a medium neck. Very nice and clean. Since I got my DuoTone from Greg, I haven't really played it very much. Best regards. AJ
BubbaVO Posted September 22, 2007 Author Posted September 22, 2007 Since I've gotten a number of requests for more pics on the archtop, here they are: Body is in really very good shape. I took a really good look at this and found a few tiny impressions that I couldn't get to show up in a picture. The binding is really good shape. No dings on it. You can see the binding/ pup rings have yellowed nicely. A little ding on the lower horn. It comes across like a discoloration. Neck is medium. Certainly thicker than my Centaura. Comes with a Hamer case. Let me know if you have any questions.
BubbaVO Posted September 28, 2007 Author Posted September 28, 2007 INT. U.S. HISTORY CLASS - MORNING We are now several weeks into the school year. Mr. Hand is dropping test papers on desks like they are pieces of manure. MR. HAND C... D... F... F... F... three weeks we've been talking about the Platt Amendment. What are you people? On dope? A piece of legislation was introduced into Congress by Senator John Platt. It was passed in 1906. This amendment to our Constitution has a profound impact upon all of our daily liv.... Mr. Hand stops on a dime. He is like a champion hunting dog that has just picked up the scent. He scans the room. MR. HAND (CONT'D) Where is Jeff Spicoli? There is silence in the U.S. history classroom. MR. HAND (CONT'D) I saw him earlier today near the 200 Building bathrooms. Is he still on campus? Silence. MR. HAND (CONT'D) Anyone? One student sitting next to Stacy raises his hand. MR. HAND (CONT'D) Yes, Desmond? DESMOND I saw him by the food machines. MR. HAND How long ago? DESMOND Just before class, sir... Mr. Hand snaps his fingers, Hawaii Five-O style. MR. HAND Okay. Bring him in. Desmond hustles out the door. MR. HAND (CONT'D) What is this fascination with truancy? What is it that gets inside your heads? Mr. Hand begins to pace the aisles as he speaks. Occasionally, for emphasis, he bends down to lecture directly into the students' faces. MR. HAND (CONT'D) There are other teachers in this school who look the other way at truants. (points to attendance clip on the doorway) It's a little game that you both play. They pretend they don't see you, you pretend you don't ditch. Who pays the price later? You. Desmond returns to the room with a red-eyed Jeff Spicoli. SPICOLI Hey! Wait a minute! There's no birthday party for me here! MR. HAND Thank you, Desmond. (to Spicoli) What's the reason for your truancy? SPICOLI I couldn't make it in time. MR. HAND (in top form) You mean, you couldn't? Or you wouldn't? SPICOLI I don't know, mon. The food lines took forever. MR. HAND Food will be eaten on your time! (pause) Why are you continuously late for this class, Mr. Spicoli? Why do you shamelessly waste my time like this? SPICOLI I don't know. Mr. Hand appears mesmerized. He then turns and heads for the board. He writes in long, large letters as he slams the chalk into the green board. He writes: "I DON'T KNOW". MR. HAND I like that. He stands back and admires it. He turns randomly to Stacy. MR. HAND (CONT'D) Don't you like that, Miss Hamilton? STACY Yes, sir. MR. HAND I really like that too. 'I don't know'... that's nice. 'Mr. Hand, will I pass this class?' 'Gee, Mr. Spicoli, I don't know'. I like that. I think I'm going to leave your words on this board for all my classes to enjoy. Giving you full credit, of course, Mr. Spicoli. We hear the blare of the dismissal bell. Stacy and the other students get up to leave. Spicoli stays in place. He has just figured out a truly bitchin' comeback... and his mouth is forming the first word, when Mr. Hand cuts him off. MR. HAND (CONT'D) You can go now. Hand turns back to his desk. The rest of the students have already left. Spicoli's audience is gone. He shrugs and lopes out the door. By the way - the guitars are still available.
BubbaVO Posted October 5, 2007 Author Posted October 5, 2007 It's on EBay. But I'd rather keep it in the HFC family.
BubbaVO Posted February 15, 2008 Author Posted February 15, 2008 Lo siento, compadre! Pero ya lo vendi. Todavia tengo un Centaura si estas interesado.
