Unfortunately I can't bring 'er home until the 20th. Apparently, in this area we have what's called a "police hold"...when someone sells a guitar (or anything, really) to a store that does resale, the item goes on police hold for 30 days. In this time period, the item is investigated to make sure it's not stolen, and the store isn't allowed to officially sell the item. I guess that means this guitar hadn't been there long at all...no surprise really. I'm hoping they'll rescind the hold before the 20th...the wait is killing me!While I was there, I happened to talk to the employee who bought the guitar. He said it was from an estate sale of sorts...it belonged to the previous owner's father, who had just passed away. Apparently he had a collection of something like 50 rare guitars. This was one of 15 that this store bought from him. I can't help but wonder what else was in the collection...I'll never know, but I'm glad I found this thing. Now to start asking around for more details on it...I'm hoping I can find someone who can tell me how many of these were actually made, and place a real world value on it. Not that the value matters all that much, because I'm sure I won't be letting it go any time soon
I'd like to know though.
