Btw @DragonPL, as I think awhile back it it came up, I broke a string on the Dupont yesterday so got out the 250m after not having played it in awhile. It really is a pretty decent guitar and the neck is fast. Much better than I remembered.

DragonPL

@rgrice ditto! I got the 250m as a "travel guitar" (on ebay for about $500) and like it so much that I got the regular 250 as it's "travel guitar" because I wouldn't want to mess the other one up LOL.... the regular 250 is the loudest of the bunch though......

PS - I've very quickly managed to sell two instruments, so have enough to buy the Sweet Chorus! I have one more instrument to sell in order raise funds to go to Paris to collect it, otherwise I'll ask them to ship it.

Anyone want to buy an English banjo from c.1900?

@RobMacKillop Good deal! Financing by selling off things is the best way to not feel the crunch economically. However, it tugs at my sentimentality!

Rob MacKillop

In an ideal world (i.e, one where I'm incredibly wealthy) I wouldn't have sold these two, a fretless gut-strung 19th-century banjo, and an Ibanez PM2, but it's not an ideal world, sadly. I did, however, manage to sell them to two of my students, so will see the instruments during lessons.

And the third instrument has been sold now. There is no going back!

It's tough to let go, isn't it? I don't have a mando or banjo thanks to the GJ bug but at present it's all I want to play anyway.

I rarely miss instruments, its mostly about moving forward. That said i bought an odd duck Cuesnon, a 1950-60 GJ guitar and if something happened to that it would be irreplaceable

@Scoredog That Cuesnon was my personal favorite I tried from Michael's stable at Django in June '13. :-bd

@rgrice Although I couldn't let go of any of my other instrments unless in case of a dire need, not that I have that many, another acoustic and 2 electrics, it is true that the GJ one is the only one that gets love these days. Happy birthday man!

Thanks, @Buco!
