CHICAGO MUSIC EXCHANGE!!! PIC HEAVY

[hotrodperlmutter]

shit was epic. didn't even scratch the surface in terms of playing all the shit i wanted. needless to say i left empty handed, other than the knowledge that i am now in pursuit of a coronado.

I WILL LET THE PICS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

LEGIT WHITE FALCON!!!! THEY WOULDN'T LET ME PLAY IT BECAUSE I SPENT AN HOUR TAKING PICTURES OF GUITARS SO THEY ASSUMED I WASN'T BUYING ANYTHING! -

lulz. few problems with this. i was only there for a half hour. i asked to play the white falcon in the first 45 seconds of walking into the store and got denied. erik said you have to walk in and be cool, and i totally wasn't. i lost my shit. i wanted to play that guitar real hard. they basically told me i could play any of the other ones, so i played a few, and then started taking pictures like a mad man. then i took a huge dump in their awesome ritzy bathroom.

Hey Hot Rod, serious question, did you happen to notice any old Goya Rangemasters while you were there? I'm kinda sorta looking to buy one RIGHT AWAY even though I shouldn't be.

[hotrodperlmutter]

i didn't see a single goya guitar, good question though. they have some random shit, but not that random.

that sonic blue jazz close up has to be made into some sort of shortscale banner/sticker/logo something

[hotrodperlmutter]

yeah, kinda sucks that it's a custom shop, but i would be lying if i said it wasn't the background on my iphone.

isn't that one of the first japanese electrics from the 50s? people pay stupid money for them.

[Progrockabuse]

that is some serious pant shooter photography, hot rod. nice to see someone else with the same taste in firebird I's. probably the only firebird i'd like to own. gotta get me to chicago one day.

[Gabriel]

If I had unlimited money these would be mine right now!

After taking in how awesome it was that was my first thought too.

Some fucking awesome pictures here! Looks amazing.

[DanHeron]

awesome photos.

[Bacchus]

I love that big black jazz box.

[hotrodperlmutter]

i wish i'd have documented all the pricing, but i'm thinking that '28 gibson was like $3000 (which i guess is high, but not for how nice, and how rare i'm certain it is).

one thing on my project list that i doubt i'll get to is an epiphone firebird studio with one of the pickups yanked, and painted either pelham or white. probably white.

my cousin lives down the street from there, i'm definitely going next time i am in chigago.

There was one at www.coolguitars.ca for years. Must have sold recently. Sorry man.

[johnnyseven]

Is this a shop or a museum?

[Dannymec]

I need to go there sometime soon.
