This was gifted to me by a friend yesterday. A late 30's Orpheum Style C. I've coveted it for years, and he's been willing to sell it to me, but it was always the wrong timing. Finally was at a point where I had the money and no other priorities. So we played together at church this weekend and he brought it for me to use. Sounded amazing. Knocked my son out. Even knocked my wife out, and she has NEVER been impressed by the sound of a guitar. We agreed on Saturday night he'd sell it to me for what he had in it ($1045), and I borrowed it for the night to really work it out and make up my mind. After the service yesterday, I agreed to buy, just needed his PayPal account to transfer the money. He told me my money was no good, and that if I wanted the guitar it was a gift. He said he'd just been waiting for me to finally decide I really wanted it. I protested, but he was unmoving. Whattya gonna do with people like that?
