The most significant decision of my life...

[yoslate]

Hilarious!!! I just pulled this up. I saw just "Kuz" and the picture, and I knew what was up. I know this cat, and he wouldn't part with his Heritage harem for ten 0f those L-5's! Well..maybe ten...but certainly not nine.... Nice one, John! Been waiting all day for someone to send everybody up. At first, I thought the Swedish boob thread was it....

Slate,

You thought the Swedish thing was a joke?

[tulk1]

If it doesn't have this on the inside, I ain't buying ......

 

[Kuz]

Nothing I can do about it. The L5 was VERY expensive. I would be a fool to pass this debt on to my family.

 

I made a decision and it's time to move on and live with it!

 

Well, I hope my little joke brought everyone some cheer.

 

I LOVE ALL MY HERITAGES WITH THE VERY FABRIC OF MY SOUL, and I can honestly say I would not sell them for some OLD guitar (even a '59 LP!!!)

 

I thought the above reply was a dead give away, but thanks for your passionate replies. They almost made me feel bad about my joke.

 

HOC is a special place, and you all share a special friendship with me.

 

Thanks again for the gag, and happy fools day!

You got me there, John. But I must say I was a little confused because it is very clear from your writings that you adore your H beauties and rightly so. I was wondering why the sudden change, which seemed out of character. I believed you - it did not occur to me that you were joking. But it is all fun.

[Kuz]

Kuz would only get that if it had a rosewood finger board.

 

Actually, I don't know if I ever told you but my 575 has an EBONY board. So did my former Sweet 16 and Golden Eagle. I really don't mind the Ebony on hollow bodies or acoustics. But Ebony is not me for Solid bodies or Semi-hollows.

Actually, Lyle, after twenty-six years of marriage, I've leaned never to joke about female anatomy!!! But I did try my damnedest to turn that thread into one (thanks jmc!)

[brentrocks]

im late to this one...but it was very funny!!!

I was kidding Kuz I knew you were kidding. Your a collector not consolidator. Anyone into Peter Green and Sean Costello like you would never give up a P90 150 and Greeny for an Archtop. Not your style I never fell for it, I was playing along.

This year you are going into the Henderson's creek.

[mark555]

John, you ****** - and there's me, the first one to fall for it. everything in that post should have told me it was a wind up....

[jmc7581]

and there's me, the first one to fall for it.

Excellent point! I calculate that you are at least 19 minutes dumber than I am. I feel better already ...

[ingeneri]

The most significant decision of my life just became reality.

 

I have always wanted to pursue my passion of JAZZ. But I really wanted to fall in 100%.

 

The beauty became available to me. A 1939 Gibson L5, WOW!!!!

 

But here is why it is so bitter sweet. TO AFFORD THIS GUITAR I WILL HAVE TO SELL EVERY HERITAGE I OWN!!!

 

The dealer is willing to help me with the consignments, it's a done deal.

 

Please friends congratulate me so I know I made the right decision. It is a dream come true!

 

 

Hope you are having a great day,

 

John

 

For the record, I've had the opportunity to play L5s. I like my Heritage Super Eagle better!

 

[jmc7581]

How'd you do that with the photos? Are they from the same website? (Yours is better looking!)

[Orangepicker]

Did they make that pickup in '39? My '39 ES-150 still has the Charlie Christian pickup. They didn't make little humbuckers back then. If you can make it through life with one guitar that suits one style of music? I guess you know that answer. Maybe this is a late April Fools joke.

[Horace]

Ouch, I chipped a tooth biting on that one. I still think it's a good idea to learn to play jazz like a mad man.
