Hi gang....
Just got back from prowling the 2006 Dallas Guitar "Festival" (they don't call it a show any more). Bought a few things (nice hand tooled El Dorado guitar strap, some replacement tone/vol knobs, etc) but really went to look. Prices for vintage guitars have skyrocketed on the same level as gasoline. That aside, saw some fabulous guitars - not many Japanese pieces.
That said, here is a little visual sample of my visit (comments below some of the images)
Special guest at the show
Peter Green's Les Paul - later owned by Gary Moore
Tokai TST 56
Thousand bucks for it....
Original 57 Goldtop. That's not yen folks, on the price
57 Closeup
Original 59 Strat - $48,000
Look that this old girl....
65 Strat - I bought one of these in museum condition about 6 years ago for $5,000. Nice return on investment, I'd say.
Thought I'd share these with you guys....
