Guitar Hoard

Letting go of the ego and the byproduct of hoarding. I need the money anyway. I'm reserving my time and energy for my classical in the event of opportunity.


•Fender DG-60 acoustic 6-string (2010) with gig bag, original owner. $275

   This guitar was used on Fingers In The Forest (all tracks), Apocalyptic Sunset At Harvard ("Santa's Last Buzz"), Every Man And Every Woman Is A Star Market ("RIP F'in Covid Breeder"), and the single "Curcuma Morta".

•Alvarez RD2012U acoustic 12-string (2001) with gig bag. $400






•Kimberly electric jazz mandolin (1960s?) with case $400

   Originally sunburst, repainted body and parts, visible surface cracks. Replacement jazz bridge and saddle, otherwise original parts. Original saddle and extra strings included. The nameplate and original bridge were lost by an associate who offered to repaint it black when he had a job painting pianos. I subsequently painted over his paint job years later at the same time that I repainted my Les Paul. 

•Road Runner ABS A-style mandolin case $60

   Original owner, barely used. Outside is solid with some scuffing, interior in excellent condition. I bought this for a beautiful antique Custodio Cardoso Pereira mandolin made in Portugal (see below), one of many personal belongings that have been "mysteriously" damaged by a geriatric child with a history of touching things that don't belong to him (thousands of dollars of damage between my belongings and those of my father as well). I bought the mandolin to keep but wound up reselling it as-is. The buyer didn't want the case so it's been taking up space in the basement for the past decade.

Reasonable offers considered. No dealers, please.

I love the smell of neighbors in the morning

Yesterday afternoon, a junk removal service emptied out the apartment of a neighbor who died almost a month ago. An appropriate metaphor. Co...
