The Alvarez 12 string I bought from Shannon a few years ago. Just wasn't playing it, although remarkably easy on the fingers for a 12, and the jumbo sound is awesome, especially in an open tuning.
Sold to a local semi-famous musician here in Mill Valley, Austin DeLone, who ran the Sunday evening open mike at The Sweetwater (until it closed!) for many years, and played at the HS Bluegrass Festival with Boz Scaggs among others last year. A fine keyboardist, who now wants to torture himself with a 12.
Edit: Actually it's for his daughter, who knows my son by mutual friends at the local high school. Another connection... She's applying at Berklee College of Music. Great place! Hope she gets in.
Safe short journey, Senor Alvarez!

It is always cool when you can sell a guitar to someone who you know appreciates it. Like you with the Barbosol Bellarossa Bossanova, Letson with the Goodall, Fingerplucked with the CA, SecondRoy with the Eastman, and too many others. Wow, as I look back, I really have been a Guitar Pimp over the past decade, aina?  |

Bill, if you could just figure out how to sell them for more than you pay for them .....

I'd sure love to have Barbarossa. Alas, I've already spent my quota with Bob.

That Barbarossa is an AMAZING guitar. It just never fit my hands, a little too wide. Perfect for a CLASSICAL player..... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Since everyone is pimping guitars, I'm considering parting with my beloved Mcilroy A25C. Just sayin'...

Let's do all we can to keep the instruments from Honest Bill's Guitars in the Soundhole forum, people. That way, when I strike it rich with a blockbuster movie score, I can buy them all back from youse!
