Update! I have chosen the Mustang!

I posted pics of both guitars to show 'em off. The Jag has really sharp fret ends. so sharp I chose the 'stang. Plugged it in this afternoon and got on with it a bit better anyway. Once I'm back in San Francisco I'll post a bit of everything I picked up on my trip.

So I'm home now, and I picked up three guitars from my Uncle. The Jag was a little too far gone for me to take when I had these other two guitars plus the 'stang. So without further ado, here's what I got from my uncle:

It was a sad time, but I got some cool keepsakes out of it.

my uncle didn't have much of an estate, so most of his stuff is going to get put up for sale towards funeral costs and such. I was in Maryland to help out my dad with my uncle's affairs. I wish I had more time to help with his collection. He had some really cool stuff.

Man... my condolences.

Silver-lining: Truly awesome stuff to remember him by! That Venus... my god... love it!

I'm in Maryland... congratz on the jacket! I bet it helped combat the bitter-ass cold that's been going on here, too!

I brought two jackets with me from San Francisco and I was still cold. The jacket helped and looks badass. Double win.

Well fuck me Freddy! You scored a Squier Venus and it's the most coveted color!

All great stuff. Someone gave me a Harley Davidson leather jacket like yours in the late 80's it was snug on me then, but I could totally Hulk tear it now. I keep offering it to my teenagers but they won't have it.

Venus is so nice!

Sloan's gunna like that goth.

I have a Gibson Goth LP. It's a great guitar. Good ol' portrait of Orville on the back. Heck yeah.
I got a leather jacket from my grandpa when he passed away. It's not nearly as slick as the one you got, but I'll never give it away. Sentimental.
And a Venus, and a Compstang.

Those are some really great mementos.

All that aside, I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope those guitars always keep his memory for you.
