If you're really interested, I saw one in Scituate, MA. I don't know if the guy is willing to ship guitars though, but it's worth a try. Their number is 781-545-9800. I can't remember if it is blue or silver.

I've sold countless geets,amps,and pedlulz,on a pathological level.
Geets: Epiphone Alleykat in Tobacco sunburst. It had a mini humbucker in the neck that sounded so full,warm,and yet just bright enough.
Amp: Silvertone 10xL,with tube tremolo. Squishy,compressed,sparkly tone,with just the right amount of breakup at higher volumes. I've owned one twice,as a 9 yr. old child,and as an adult. Wonderful amp.
Pedals: Stanimal-modded SM,Velcroscillator,Mini Wolf CPU,Green Russian Muff,EHX Polyphase/polychorus/Deluxe MM/Memory Boy,Ibanez PH99 Classic Phase,FH Absynth,Maestro ps1A Phase,Maxon ROtary Phase 350,Ross Flanger

In the late 90s, I bought from Bass Northwest a used 70s Hondo Longhorn doubleneck bass (4 and 8). Whoever had it before me refinished it in a completely crazy black and grey paintjob. It was pretty cool; I used it all summer at Cedar Point when I was in the house band for their 70s Show.
Ended up selling it for some miscellaneous music items a couple of years later, because I didn't really have a need for it. One of those that it would've still been nice to have it in order to fiddle around with it.

For me, it's just been TGD and a Memory Toy. That's all I've ever missed.

i've sold off a TON over the years, but my biggest regrets were letting go of my Rickenbacker 330 and Rhodes 88 suitcase piano.
(I'm gettin another 330 soon though!! when i find the right one)

i loaned my friend a aria tele copy from about 74...it was awesome. he had it for about 2 months while i was doing some shows, when i came back home i went to his house to visit (not to pick up the guitar) and found out he committed suicide. i freaked out as we started playing guitar together and were at one time very very close. i didn't ask for the guitar back i thought his parents might like it around as a memory or sumthin.
i really really miss that guitar and constantly search on ebay for another. although now i want it to remember by bud by. ...but it is a great guitar.
when i was into a JP jr phase at one point i had 4 , 56 tv, 56 tobacco, 58 cherry, 59 tv.... and even though the 59 was my favorite (jt/dolls fan here), i never played it or the other double cut (single cuts are my preference). so i sold the cherry double cut and traded the tv for a 53 gretsch silver jet with a script logo...a very early model and i've never even seen a picture of another with a script logo....BUT....i missed the tv so much i couldn't enjoy the gretsch. i ended up giving the gretsch to that bearded guy in zz top. damn...i miss that tv.
there's tons more guitars that i miss (not really regret) but those stick out.
i gave away a fender super six. that amp didn't work for me.
BTW:
i have (2) classic 50 heads, (2) classic 2/15 cabs, (1) classic 4/10, and (1) classic 50 4/10 combo. i never use them and would love to kik them out the door to someone that would. great amps. i got you guys covered if ya ever need another.
I want pics of your collection. Im going to keep bugging you until you comply.

I have a secret lust for Hondo longhorn basses. That one sounds cool!
(I need a Hondo longhorn double with the guitar neck on bottom...they probably didn't make these but how hard could it be to switch out the hardware?)

It depends... most guitar and bass necks are different widths [mustang basses are the about the same as a fender guitar] other then that the rest might be "doable"
Did they make Double neck longhorns anyway?

It was pretty sweet, mainly because Hondo made it a regular scale (the Danos are short scale, right?). Although it was the only 8 string I've seen since where the upper octave strings were the first of the pair that you'd hit. Normally I see it flipped.
Either way, I know I have some pictures lying around. I'll find a couple and scan it up.

Thanks man! Right now it's an idle want, since I just spent my birthday cash on pedals. But I may give them a call just to see what they're charging. And Scituate isn't that far from Providence - if I did end up going for it, I'd make the drive.
