Wondering if anyone here made it to the Arlington Tx Guitar show this weekend?

I found these posted today on Flickr - pretty amazing....

Great pics, lots of offsets. Someof the prices were not bad either!

That blows away the one pitiful show that comes to Orlando once a year...

Man, the last guitar show I went to in LA featured a whopping 3 jazzmasters. That one had tons! I hope I can get to one with that kinda offset presence one of these days.

cool pics!

I'm especialy enjoying the '59 Sherwood Jazzmaster!

maybe it is a guy who is from this forum...and if not, we gotta email him and invite him over!

I've never been to the Arlington one, but its supposed to be the biggest and the best. Looks like all the usual suspects were there - including the Sherwood 59 for 29.5k. The guy with all the Jags (including coral pink) is Patrick from VT - he's slowly liquidating what has to be the most impressive Fender collection since Chinery, but not going cheap. I love that Shoreline 66, but its gotta be a refin. I also love that CAR VI - wonder what they were asking for that one.

And yes we have to invite the photographer, but I suspect he's already here, that icon looks soooooo familiar....

Apparently these bad boys were going to be there as well:

Sounds like a really interesting show to get to.

The couple I bought my 66 JM off recently were there selling gear. When they get back, hopefully my JM will ship!

Wow, there are some amazing condition burst circa 65 JMs and Jags there! Plus that row of Jags (pink, Fiesta, etc.) is amazing!

I sold one that looked exactly like that less than a year ago.

It was a '63 and was an older refin with some (real) wear. I gave the guy a great price on it. John (zhivago) hooked me up with the buyer.

Hey, thats cool man! You found a picture of my new JM!

That SG is very nice as well, and I dont know why it hasnt sold yet. its got a headstock repair, but what gibson doesnt?

The rear-facing telecaster was also wicked cool, and I think it got purchased at the show.

There wa a seriously beat LPB competition mustang bass in the picture list there as well that I think was from my local shop, and looks to have sold there as well. that was a GREAT bass, priced at 650 I think, and had spent its entire life in the local prison. I should've bought that before the guitar show!!
