I AM THE LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE!!!!!

Unread post by olkskoolpik » Mon Sep 08, 2003 12:46 pm

okay heres what just happened to me. I was supposed to be at work early this morning but when i got there they didnt need me, and i couldnt go back home b/c they were exterminating my apt. So, I figured i would drop by the Guitar Center. I get there right as it is opening, and I go straight for the humidor room with all my fantasy guitars. After about 20 mins of drooling, a worker came up to me and asked if i was interested in the best acoustic guitar deal he had ever seen, I said sure. I thought it was going to be one of ther bullshit, no interest, or buy this and get this piece of crap free deals. Needless to say i was wrong. He took me over to the corner where they sell the sheet music and stuff, and he pulled out this acoustic case, he explained that they had bought it off someone the night before, and it was going on sale as a used guitar today, he said i was the first customer to view it. He started to open the case, and inside was a taylor 814 ce!!!!!!!. There were a few blemishes but overall i would say this guitar was in great condition, as he turned it over though I noticed that all of the electronics had been stripped out, including the three tuning knobs near the neck, leaving three holes, the wood did not seem damaged, someone had taken their time removing this stuff. At this point i was kind of turned off, until i heard their asking price $600 including the case!!!!!!!! my jaw hit the floor. I pulled ot the old credit card and bought some fishman electronics and the guitar and some other crap. Including installation and all the other crap i bought I am now the owner of a Taylor 814ce w/ fishman electronics for under $1000. I love it like it is my child, i cant stop looking at it, today is the greatest day ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
