golem Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 My wife's father is in the hospital in the Philippines recovering from a stroke. We're still gaining clarity on his exact state but it looks like they're telling us he's going to require brain surgery to both deal with hydrocephalus and find out more. While not quite into fire sale territory for me as I have a pretty good emergency fund, it's at least worth trying harder to move a few extra instruments I have to ease my wife's concerns about paying the bills: https://reverb.com/item/65177414-guild-newark-st-collection-x-175-manhattan-with-original-hard-shell-case https://reverb.com/item/64977143-knaggs-severn https://reverb.com/item/66222822-fender-special-edition-set-neck-custom-telecaster-hh-fmt-2003 https://reverb.com/item/65435006-gibson-firebird-v-hp-2016 Costs are about 2.5K USD for treatment so far and brain surgery apparently costs $3-4K. Make me an offer on Reverb and I'm more likely than usual to take you up on it.
jujisque Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Shit, sorry to hear about your FIL. Hope everything goes well. GLWS
golem Posted March 1, 2023 Author Posted March 1, 2023 Thanks for the well wishes. Like I said, I can probably survive without selling as guitar gear is really the only luxury I spend money and have an emergency fund capable of sustaining us for months without work. But... I figure it's better to be prudent so if anyone makes me an offer I'm more likely than ever to accept. Also, I'm heading to Nashville Mar 10-12 if anyone's out that way to deal with stuff for my dad. My dad, thankfully, is okay just old.
cmatthes Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Sending all positive mojo possible! I know that doesn’t help your sales, but I’ll direct some folks from a Firebird page I know your way if that works…
golem Posted March 2, 2023 Author Posted March 2, 2023 Looks like the Firebird sold to someone famous, or at least the name used matches that of a famous player. And someone who donated a lot of time and money to a non profit I care about. So If I have to lose a fine guitar, I can't think of a better way.
burningyen Posted March 3, 2023 Posted March 3, 2023 Sorry to hear it. Good on you for taking care of your family. Sending healing thoughts.
