Including the 5-neck one? I feel sorry for the guitar tech that had to handle that beast.

He isn't selling his collection.. he is selling the spill over stuff for insane prices.

He should just open a store. He'd have the best vintage shop in the nation in a long time. Be like the place in Red Bank NJ (anyone recall the name - Guitar Trader?) where I bought my 56 Special for $800 in 1982. They had like five of everything The special was a hard choice btwn that and a Firebird 5 for $1000. i really fell for the neck on the Special. Bad choice. Anyway, never see a store like that again.

Guitar Trader, yah. I bought my furst burst there.

There are stores still like it. Norm still rolls that way, and maybe 10 or so more in the World.

Was that Mike Boleware before Sabine, perhaps?

Dan's Fine in ATL. GTR before Randy left Tutt Taylor and George in Nashville. Norm's.

Oh yeah.
Drove down from VT in 1974 with a bandmate and bought him a 5E6A Bassman from that place in Red Bank.
He didn't like it, so we drove down the next week and got him a 5F6A, which he still owns.
