Sold: B&G Little Sister Private Build

DB1

And cake. I don't mind a journey either. Especially for cake.

ES-165 now sold to a forum member.

TVJ and Little Sister still here - lots of interest in the TVJ and some interesting (but not quite there) trades on the Little Sister, which I'm wavering about, having committed the cardinal sin of playing the bloody thing again.

Few more pics of the TV Jones....

TV Jones sold to a forum member with impeccable taste!

Just the Little Sister left - I'm wavering with this one, but trying to be brave. A couple more pics - one of the back and one of the COA.

I need an 'unlike' option for that.... 

But congrats on the sale!

Whoever bought the TV Jones, I would KILL for one of those stickers to adorn my Turner Prize entrant Les Paul case...  Especially as it's my surname  

Congrats on the sale and purchase

Thank god the temptation has been removed!!
had to keep way from this thread!!

It's a lovely thing, to be fair, and I think that it's at a very good price. I've gone a bit daft(er) since lockdown and bought too many things and now my wife is giving me thoughtful looks. Thoughtful as in 'shall I have him sectioned?'

The Little Sister is another one that's a bit tough to part with, but I'll give it a couple more days. There, that's a good compromise.

Congrats on the sales @db1. The remaining one looks like a nice bit of wood to be honest

DB1

Thanks Fred - they are both great guitars, and I try and price them so that they can be sold on if necessary at no loss to the buyer.

The Little Sister is edging closer to being kept. It's only the need to recoup some cash that's keeping it here for another couple of days.

A hesitant bump. I'm on a path to shed some guitars, put a few quid back in the pot and concentrate on actually learning to play something, so, go on then, a bump. I've taken it off eBay - while the p/ex offers of sausages, a Morris Marina (1.3, brown) a crutch  and someone's actual little sister were interesting, I managed to resist.

On the other hand, I've been glancing idly at CS Teles, Strats, 335's, ES-275's, an ES-446, all manner of silly things, so if anyone's got anything interesting, let me know. And yes, I know that doesn't lessen the number of guitars in the house, but I'm a shambles of a man.

I'd have took the brown Marina mate...

DB1

I had one in 1983 and I only finished the counselling last year.

Marina Brown is a vey rare custom colour in the Fender paint shop!

DB1

I'm glad I mentioned it now.

On a slightly less silly note.........I have to say I'm astonished by that Little Sister Crossroads that I bought off Wazmeister but I think used to be yours DB1?..........If the Private Build is better than that then it must be a very very nice thing indeed!

DB1

Yes, a superb guitar, that particular Crossroads. I think the neck is slightly slimmer than others that I've tried, and it feels friendly. Really nice. Like most things, the Private Build v the Crossroads is the old thing about diminishing returns, and while the Private Build is a step up from other Crossroads that I've played or owned, it's not a step up that's accurately reflected in a new price of about four times the cost. These things never are.

That one of yours is spectacular though, and I would have had that back!

Actually, there are a couple of guitars that I've sold that I'd have back any time, and that's one of them.

DB1

Ah, go on then. A little bump.

richh

I'm surprised the Little Sister Private Build hasn't sold yet, looks like a good deal for somebody!

DB1

Thanks Rich, I'm not pushing it too much, as I'm not convinced that I want it gone. I'm 'trying' to be sensible though. A losing battle, obviously.
