I was chatting with an acquaintance of mine (female, in her late 50's) today and the subject of music came up. She asked if I played and instrument, and when I told her that I played guitar, she informed me that she "used to, but not in a very long time".
We chatted guitars for a bit, then she informed me that she still had the guitar her parents bought her in the 50's. I assumed that it was a basic accoustic. She then asked me if I'd take a look at it and let her know if it was any good or not.....
We went inside and she produced a vintage 1955 Fender Esquire, butterscotch yellow, MINT condition, original case and original 1955 Fender amp, I couldn't tell what model....
It played exquisitely... It could be brand spanking new..
Does anyone have any idea of the value of this these days?
I was speachless... She offered to sell it to me, but she's been a family friend for some time and I wouldn't feel right taking advantage on price.. On the other hand.. I doubt I could afford what it's really worth, and I know I'll never see another one like it.. |
Very nice story...your friend is lucky to have such a nice guitar...now be a gentleman and help her sell that guitar so she can get the right kind of money for it...
Saludos.
