To which Bf2K+ replies...

I am in the process of selling my guitars... I'm not playing in a band
anymore so I don't need 12 electric guitars and 4 amps.  I have already
sold one guitar and listed the second one yesterday.  All of my guitars
are American-made Fenders, one G&L (also American).  I'll keep a couple
of guitars and one amp.
