The # 1 of all the number #1's on my guitar want list The AVALON AV-2T The worlds most famous japanese piece of crap guitar that I have been searching for on Ebay for 5 years The Shaggs guitar and Vintage Silvertone has one for a ridiculously inflated price.Still,I have never seen one for sale before,ever!

Dear Lord,please give me strength,though I walk through the Valley of Death,deliver me from evil(Visa,Mastercard and Paypal Buyer's credit)and lead me not into the temptation of clicking that fucking "Buy It Now" button.For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen

Excuse me,I have to go say 10 Hail Marys and scourge myself.

I loooove the horns on that. Hell... I just love that guitar.

Eastwood should remake it, it's right up their alley.

These come up on ebay every year 3 or 4 times. Do you have it saved in your searches?

They're really ugly and I bet they play like shit compared to modern guitars.

That one is pretty beat up but it went for $135 which realistically is what they should go for.

Aww that's not nice, their dad/manager made them do it.

When I was a kid and discovered The Shaggs I thought I'd fuck with everyone at school by taking this tape of them around in my walkman and being like "AREN'T THEY AWESOME" and "WAY AHEAD OF THEIR TIME," etc... but I got sick of the tape faster than everyone else and left it on the field or something.

TEH SKAGGS. What an unfortunate era.

I didn't know Tex had a grail! It's a neat guitar.

With the horns I'd think it was more satanic than heavenly . That's like Genesis for BC Rich before BC Rich .

We don't allow classifieds in the forums, especially with your first post.

I was afraid someone would go and say something like that. I mean I probably would have preferred he did a private message to Westtexasred but what we have here is a thread where someone is looking high and low for a specific rarity of a guitar, and someone else who probably found this thread in a google search or something who has exactly what he's looking for (and if he doesn't then he made a very convincing post).

Yeah yeah rules are rules and all that but I don't think this falls under the same territory as most newb classifieds posters

We have rules so people don't get scammed. If WTR wants to engage in a transaction that's his choice. But the site has a policy, a good policy, so that the members are not taken advantage of and so that the site can't be held responsible for bad deals.

This is a no brainer, sorry dude.

for some reason i thought that WTR had already bought and then sold this guitar and moved along to another les paul..
