A friend and colleague of mine plays guitar. I know from talking to him he’s more into Martins and flattops than archtops.
I showed him a picture of my newly acquired 175, and he said, “Oh that looks like my electric guitar.”
He shows me a picture of what looks to be a fairly pristine mid--60’s 125CD with double P90s. (This is not his guitar, just a pic from Reverb of what his guitar looked like.)
”I don’t know what model it is, the label inside is missing.”
Hard to believe he’s sitting on a $2500 guitar and doesn’t even know which model it is. I should make him an offer of $500 to take it off his hands.

If you do, I'd reckon you gain a guitar and lose a friend. Not saying it's not worth it.

I guess not everyone is INTO things like guitars the way we are.
On a similar note: how many times have I asked someone what engine they have in their car? Turbo or not? AWD or not? And they don’t even know!!

Cars have engines?

After Art School I got more utilitarian. A series of Subarus with great sound systems trained me well for eventual absorption into the TORG.

At least he plays... Think of all these great vintage guitars locked away in collections, never or almost never played..
