    We're all packed up. Heading to Austin today, and moving him into Blanton first thing in the morning.

    Our first one didn't last 8 years. I was dead set against another one. But there was a top end floor model with the control set in the door for $600. I rolled the dice, and it has been rock solid for years now (no jinx). The dryer, which outlasted the original washer, still is going strong well over a decade now (again, no jinx). We've got two teenage boys and run the machines constantly.

    I've got an LG that's built like one of those Russian tanks that breaks down in the Ukraine.

    He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "This isn't about you. It's about me. Stop taking this moderately-sized gathering's attention off of me." Also, maybe if this asshole would pony up for an indoor venue instead of having throngs of morons gather by the tens in sweltering conditions, they wouldn't keep collapsing.

    Yeah. I'm not trying to start a movement or anything. But I likes what I likes. Still, that one above is Mi-T-Fine

    My half-brother was a Richard who went by Dick. So that in no way, shape, or form hits close to home.

    I had the slightest bit of a hunch that he was going to end that speech by introducing Taylor Swift.

    Barack absolutely crushed it.

    I have an old pressing of the vinyl. But it's just the music.

    I like it on Strats and Les Pauls, but for some reason, I prefer solid colors on Teles.

    Chicago Music Exchange will give you a much better price than Guitar Center, but you have to ship it. But with that Champ, I'd list it and get as much as I could for it. It won't cost much to ship, and it doesn't take up much floor space. I've shipped amps large and small all over the country and, once, to Australia. Label and box up the tubes and put them in the cabinet. Gets some large pieces of closed cell foam to pack in there. Wrap the amp in bubble wrap, and put it in a tight fitting card board box. Wrap that box in even more bubble wrap with some foam corner pieces on the box and put that in another tight fitting box. Tape every seam a lot. Use a roll of tape. Insure it. I've had better luck with FedEx than UPS, but I've heard horror stories about both of course. But I've also shipped everything from a champ up to an eighty-pound, 4x12 speaker box across the country without a scratch. You just have to pack them for war.

    I've always had two nevers when it came to teles: no sunburst and no bound bodies. But I must say, that's a damned good looking tele.

    Absent unusual circumstances, we either can have someone younger or someone with tons of executive and legislative experience. We are sacrificing some of the latter for relative youth and energy.

    But I hear if you buy a hat like that, you get a free bowl of soup.

    Dick Girthmore?

    If there's no phone number or email, is it advertising? Or do you just bring your resume to the Walgreen's or Wok Express at 45th and Guadalupe. I guess these are questions better addressed to Mr. Girthmore.
  22. dcbc
    Yes , sir

    Reverb is fine, but it used to be better.. You'll make more money on Facebook Marketplace. For a small monthly fee, you can adverte it on thegearpage.net and have a decently-sized audience, but the cork-sniffage will be high. Easy route is to send pictures of it to Chicago Music Exchange. They'll make you a better offer than Guitar Center. I sold an Epiphone Casino to them once. Worked out fine, and was super easy if you don't mind leaving a few bucks in value on the table. If you're in Austin, take it to Austin Vintage Guitar. They'll make you an offer. Just do some research on the value. Lots of info out there. Reverb will show you sales prices on things, which helps in that regard.

    Cut it, split it, stack it, and wait. Larger pieces might take a year. The little pieces dry out in this heat pretty quickly.
