About This Listing

There he was. Pops, that is. Just rushing back from fill-in-the-blank elementary school. He's a 7th grader now, and as the Lyndon B. Johnson administration is in full swing, so is the Vietnam War. What did Pops care? But his mom, on the other hand, was managing a house, cooking, cleaning, and paying bills; life isn't what she envisioned it to be in home economics class, now is it? How's that?

She goes running for the shelter.
Of her mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way.
Gets her through her busy day

No doubt, Mick. "Lee, there you go again down the rabbit hole, and, um, what does this have to do with this guitar?" Well, that black-and-white photo of Pops you've seen in that photo album and the very guitar you see here. Yes, this guitar and that snappy suit he wore are mementos from him negotiating this purchase from Sears and the promise of cutting the lawn forever. To him, all of his heroes started out with this brand, including Kieth Richards. As for this guitar?

This H-45 with its single De Armond "Hersey Bar" single coil has the lushness of a P-90 to create those amazing tones of the past. The neck is beefy and well balanced, making it perfect for slide guitar. Of course, this weighs nothing, so the chiropractor will be out of milk money. Condition? Well, look at this. I'd say exceptional. Case? The original blue-lined soft shell and, as an added bonus, the original paperwork.

In closing, wouldn't this make the perfect gift for the man who brought you life? The stories he could tell you are all there for a simple gesture. Just remember. Your pops didn't tell you how to live; he lived, and let you watch him do it. Now is the time to let him know the impact of the act of watching greatness was. What's the alternative? I Know.

"Doctor, please
Some more of these"
Outside the door
She took four more.
What a drag it is getting old.
