Topic: odd guitars on ebay

[Prof Scratchy]

  I've been persuaded to have a guitar de-clutter, so there are some odd instruments appearing on ebay this week! Here's a link to one of them and you can see the others by going to the 'seller's other items' link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320207149889&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:GB:1123

That Kay looks mighty nice...

It is! Anyway, despite my entreaty to the lonely hearts section and 'I know better than you' guitar anoraks' section of ebay, I had a question from somebody literally minutes after posting, wanting to know if there was a 'buy it now' option on the resonator (which he assured me was a nineteen fifties instrument 'of no real value')! I instructed him (nicely) how to recognise when there is a buy it now option....BTW still waiting for the pictures to upload on my final listing, which might be of interest to L-00 owners. Or alternatively it may not!

LOL!

Good luck, those are some funky guitars.  I'll check back on the L-00.

Prof,

Thanks for de-cluttering! I am now the proud owner of the National Havana and was wondering if anyone out there in WeenieWorld has a suitable metal headstock logo lying around in a drawer somewhere, to cover up its nakedness. Cash, as they say, waiting.



Thanks,
Marshcat

Marshcat - I do. Not the original, but one of the ones you can get from Elderly Instruments for $5. I'll pop it in the post to you and you can use till something better turns up (in return for that fine  Kennet Sheiks CD you sent me)...glad you like the guitar BTW.

Hi all:

I see where there is a Lyons and Healy 9-string guitar for sale on eBay. Unfortunately he won't ship to Canada (saving me money).

Treble strings are doubled, bass strings are singles

hello friend,
that 9-string has been on ebay for the past 2 or 3 weeks. i don't think his reserve is being met. it looks like an interesting box, but it also needs some work.

Alex - its says "Ships Worldwide".  Is Canada on another planet?

Further down it says US only.

Doh!  Trust you to read the rest of it and spoil my fun, Phil.

I guess all the sighted Her Majesty's subjects emigrated to Canada years ago.  (and I emailed him to ask whether he shipped to Canada).
