What shoud I do... will I give it back to  him for the same amount of money I got it?? fair... isnt it? Or maybe will I just give it back to him??? because I cannot keep Mike away from his precious??? Or will I ask for a very big amount of money??? Mike should have loads and I am sure he would give almost anything in order to gettin em back... Think about it... -------------- ...and The Man In The Rain picked up his bag of secrets... and BLA BLA BLA, BLA BLA BLA... TU-BU-LAR BELLS!!!!! Back to top

Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: April 04 2006, 21:10 You should also ask him to play for a couple of hours....just to verifiy that it's really him and not someone who has had plastic surgery to alter his appearance to look like him. Actually....I was thinking about my mare and that maybe therein is a lesson....the rest of the story is that by the time I was contacted by the former owner who wanted to buy her back, I had already parted with her. I hadn't even thought to contact the former owner when I had decided to sell (actually, I ended up pretty-much giving her away to a family who didn't have the money. It was more important to me that she be well cared for). So....years from now should you ever want to part with the beast...er, the guitar that is, you may want to contact Mike to see if he has had any regrets and wants it back. Or...do what I did. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris." Back to top

yanouch65 Group: Members Posts: 680 Joined: Feb. 2006 Posted: April 05 2006, 09:31 Hi I think that this guitar will stay in my house until the end of my life. I hope so... A dream has come true, therefore I never will sell it...even against a lot of money.....hum! Mike, don't come to me.

Hey dude, think about that... how much does that Guitar cost if it is not played by Mike's Fingers. It is like a symbiosis. Those Guitars were built just to be played by Mike. I think the owners should give them back for the same amount of money. It is fair. They will become Mike's friends... and I really do think it is a great great deal... isn't it?? Mike!!!

fragile Group: Members Posts: 41 Joined: April 2006 Posted: April 10 2006, 14:58 Guys your are so crazy. It is not the first time that Mike sold some instruments- and he never wanted anything back. Mike has enough money to buy any guitar he wants (vintage or not). Hope that most of the guitars are sold to guitar-PLAYERS not only to fans who put it behind a screen. Back to top
