The other night, a young customer asked me where I got the antique guitar (a 52 ES 295). I had to tell him I bought it NEW!
Sadly, my B-3, Suitacse Rhodes, DX-7, 52 Tele, Whirlitzer piano, 63 Jazz bass and many others were instruments I bought new and just couldn't get rid of.
That comes from and old, sentimental pack-rat.
I LOVE em!
