So having a vintage guitar store so close to my house has its ups and downs. On the up side, the owner is really cool, appreciates the traffic I've sent his way via students and social media and loves to trade when I don't have ready cash. Today I brought in a box full of leftover Premier Music inventory (strings, picks, straps and other accessories junk) that I would never be able to sell and he said he could use in his store. I went with my buddy Martin and after a while of playing a ton of nice guitars and a cool little Silvertone 1481 amp that I was thinking of picking up I played this 1961 Epiphone Century:
The guitar has new Ping tuners on it, an obviously new replacement nut and an obvious neck reset but it plays and sounds awesome. To cover the rest of the deal I'm bringing him my old Marshall Jubilee 4x12 which hasn't been used onstage since 1998 and is so beat up it has no real vintage value. At this point in time I'd rather have the guitar and I've been getting rid of all of the gear I'm not actually using. Eventually I might find a used Avatar 2x12 for my Silvertone head but I don't need it anytime soon.
