[Spridgets] NO LBC -Guitars

[Robert Weeks]

Hi Herb,

That particular guitar I linked to sells for $1650. I'd be replacing my 
wobbly, painted wire wheels with new painted wire wheels if I were to 
get new wheels and I'd be sending them to Hendrix Wire Wheel here in NC 
for truing and balancing which raises the cost of the wires a bit.

I've been considering selling my current US Tele and ES335 to raise some 
spending money but I think I'd want to put it towards another guitar if 
I did that. The ES335 I've been hanging onto in case one of my boys 
wanted it someday. I don't really play that guitar very much. The 
Telecaster gets most of my attention these days. If I sold it I'd want a 
better Tele to take it's place.

Cheers,

Robert
