Mottola's (and CC's) guitar

I checked both my pants pockets for spare change and I'm still a little short.

Holy smokes.

Maybe if they throw in free shipping…..

The three holes behind the bridge show where the mounting screws for the Bridge CC PU once was.

That would be a really cool store to visit if you are a big rockstar or win a gazillion dollar lottery. They have $15,000+ amps all over the place.

Holy Schist! I need some work on my Parker. I know where I'm not gonna take it!

It's a nice store to visit.

They have an original Ampeg Jet (replaced speaker), fully serviced, listed for $900.

That was the amp many of the NYC jazz guys of my youth played.

Turret board construction, vintage tube amp and the servicing is worth a hundred or two. 3 prong, new caps and so forth.

Not sure about the availability of the preamp tubes. They're oddballs.

And this is a guitar that Charlie Christian ordered but due to his failing health, never played.
