“People keep buying my personal instruments with my personalized birthdate serial numbers. There are a few #52950’s out there, only making them more valuable after I am gone. I hate to let my personal instruments go, but with the proper amount of arm twisting, and the right dollar amount, I just have to say: I am here now, at the motherlode,I’ll just build another, possibly better”ok,ITS JANUARY, AND IT JUST SOLD!
