I went to the Guitar Center today, with the intention of finding out. 1. was the guitar on consignment, and if so who was the owner. 2. To play that guitar..I didn't play it when I saw it..
This is what happened, I told the manger the story. So he was very helpful, first he said that it wasn't on consignment, and he couldn't by store policy tell me who the pevious owner was. But he could tell me if I said who it might be. So after a guessing game and discusions about stolen guitars he did tell me the guitar was from a person that lived in this area. So I played it for a while, had a few memories, put it back and said good bye. But not before getting the serial number. The store my dad bought it is still in business by the same owner. And that store is also in the area. So I stopped there and asked a long shot question... How long to you keep records for.. This guy remembers me from all the times I went there when I was younger. He say well, not long.... I told him the story.. Then he says I have this customer thats been coming here for years and I remeber he had a blue fender mustang. He gave me his phone number.. (Now I am on a mission) I called him. I told him the story. He say he was the one that bought the guitar from my friends brother. It was his first guitar , he loved it, It was his main guitar for 8 years and couldn't say enough how it took him through his guitar playing life. And he said If I still had it I would certainly give it back to you. Well comes to find out, The reason why the guy at the music store remebered it was be cause this guy used it as a trade for another guitar.. Then we got talking about what type of guitars we had now and I told him I just bought a Schecter about 30 days ago. He said you won't believe this.. I did to about 30 days ago.. Now I can say goodbye to that ol light blue 1965 Fender mustang knowing that it helped another guy with a life of music..
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
