lpdeluxe - Nice guitar - want to sell it?

I knew the gear snobs would come out sooner or later. :D Cool.
 
Thanks, bear, I left out my Radio Shack stereo condenser mic (found the receipt for it in my stuff...$29.95 in 1978).
Alas, it has bit the dust.
 
Blue Bear, I think you just have too much stuff, maybe you should give it away to some charity, like myself:D I´ll send you my address
