57Gregy Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) I went to the local pawn shop with my friend Ann so she could pay off a loan. Sometimes I hate going to these places. They make me spend money. I've always wanted a 335-style guitar, or the smaller 339. So what do they have hanging on the wall? An Epiphone ES-335 with humbuckers right next to an Epi ES-339 with P90s. At decent prices, too. I didn't have time to play them because we had other thing to do, but they both looked straight and clean. As we were leaving, one of the clerks said, "you know we have layaway, right?" GAS strikes again. I already have enough guitars!Said no one ever. Edited April 19, 2019 by 57Gregy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I had a Vantage 335 style guitar many years ago. Loved that guitar. Awesome sound. Ironically enough, I pawned it. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulo Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I've never been in one of those places. I've always figured that pretty much everything in there is either stolen or there because of some other unfortunate circumstance that the owner found themselves in that made them have to take some lowball offer for their cherished possession. I've always thought that I would never be able to enjoy something that was only there because of someone else's misery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstrEd Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 On trip home from down south we stopped at mckaybooks They had 1,000's of used CD's and LP's too. Neat selection. In a section they had old Audio and musical instruments. The musical and audio stuff was way over priced. They had old audio interfaces that would be useless for modern computers, no Win10 drivers. They were trying to sell them for several hundred dollars. ? I just wasn't expecting to find this stuff in a gigantic used book store. The place is huge!

Pawn shops aren't always about someone having to suffer or having to sell items to get money. I've sold several items to a pawn shop just to get rid of them. After my mother past, she had so much stuff, I asked the local pawn shop owner to come to her house to see what he wanted to offer me forthe stuff she had there. I t was convenient, however, that the pawn shop owner was my uncle. LOL ? ? (True Story Though) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it's knowing that there's more than a fair chance of that being the case that bothers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking with my cousin Smokey and brother Steve a few months ago. I thought I had too many guitars (5, including a bass). Steve says he has 12. Smokey, ~25. I guess I have some catching up to do. Steve is trying to acquire every type of guitar that the Beatles used, or a copy thereof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
