STEEL GUITARS IN RESERVE
What the heck is Reserve anyway? A personal collection? Denoting things that should be special to anyone / everyone? As far as Guitars go, I think Reserve has come to mean things special to the owner, and not neccessarily to anyone else.
These Steel Guitars are held in Reserves as part of my personal harem; And their value TO ME is reflected in the prices I have put on them. Allow me to call these my Reserve. I have clearly marked the Steels in RESERVE on my website inventory list(s). This allows you to understand their status and value to me & pricing that might otherwise seem out of line with the prices of other instruments (although my pricing of these Reserve instruments is not out of line with a number of other vintage Dealers' pricing). Some endeared things in life are for sale I suppose, particularly during difficult economies & financial times for us common Folks (damn the MIC empire and it's reichwing goons, and our (THEIR) hi-jacked / punk Congress). I am also particularly motivated due to the financial strains encurred by our dear son Dean's medical challenges.
So feel free to inquire if you have a SERIOUS interest in any of these Steels at the value they are to me personally, as reflected here.
