eBay That's Your Cue

God damn, I wish I had a thousand odd dollars for this, an electric guitar played at about 1000 Slobberbone gigs, put up for sale by Brent Best himself:

1979 Guild S-300D electric guitar. Used, scratched, worn, beat-up and abused and still kicks ass. I've had this guitar since 1995 and used it for the recording of all four Slobberbone albums, especially the first two. The sound of the crunch guitar on the Barrelchested album is this guitar through a small Hiwatt amp. Has also been used on every Slobberbone tour since 1995 (and that's a lot of shows). Still sounds friggin' great. The finish, as you can imagine, has taken a pounding and is worn and checked in most areas. The headstock was snapped off once and repaired well but without any effort to conceal the crack cosmetically (the guitar actually played and intonated better after the repair). All hardware and electronics are original to the guitar. The neck pickup is not working but I will either include with the auction an exact replacement for it or I can install it myself, it's up to you.

Obviously, this guitar is not any sort of collection piece unless you were into the band. If not, then it's simply a good rock guitar for someone who wants to play one and wants one cheap. I hate to sell it as it means a lot to me but I'm broke as a spoke and gotta get on thru. I have other gear and band-related auctions going as well if you're interested.

Buyer pays shipping and handling. Cashier's check, money order or Paypal only. Paypal prefered. Thanks and take care. That is all.

Brent's selling some other stuff as well, including one of the rare original versions of Crow Pot Pie. He hasn't hit the road with his new band, The Drams yet, so throw him some financial love if you can.

Thanks to Don for the link

Ah, yes...Brent *is* best. I should know.
