My Godness, what have I been drinking?

Sorry, I mean Sangandongo, will you keep it?
No. I will sell it. It's not my thing, even though it's so cool. The thing is, how do you put a price on it?

Hot damn, that's cool. More guitars need German Carve :? So what have you been doing with it recently? Just researching or are you still playing it?

I'm not playing it much. The book I ordered a while back just came in, that's how I found that photo. When Kubicki said to look for that instrument, I wasn't expecting it to be the same shape at all. I'm really friggin' amazed.

That's some incredibly good picture research, although Rossmeisl must have made several versions since the binding, bridge and body thickness look quite different.

Yes. The guitar on the table is called a "Modern Rocker." I'm going to attempt to get a letter of authenticity from Kubicki, even though it was he who took this photo and told me to go find it.

Yeah... I don't even know. How do you price a one of a kind? On the one hand, it's rare as shit and nobody in the world has one but me. On the other hand, it's not like a telecaster where you can compare to others to gauge a value. I wanted to have it on ebay at the same time as the Rickenbacker Banjoline, but until that COA is back in hand with a signature, it's not in my hands at all, so I cannot rightfully use that in the ebay listing.

Ya, ebay might be a good route but it's hard to say. This really needs to get in front of big time fender collectors.
