I live in a small town (800 people) in Vermont that has a local landfill. A friend of mine works there on Saturdays...today he told me this story:
"oh", he said, "you'll love this story! A lady came in today and brought in an old guitar...it was beat up and had a hole in it. I was going to just throw it in the garbage...but I put it aside."
I'm quite interested at this point...
"We looked inside it and it said 'Gibson'"
I'm drooling now...
"Well...a guy came in and asked me what I was doing with it"
I hoping he was going to say "I'm saving it to give to my friend!"
"So I gave it to him"
Heart sinks...
The guy got $1k for it.
Funny thing is...my wife was going to go to the landfill that day...but decided not to. I might have had an old Gibson!

If I was a byrd, I'd be mighty sore every time they shut the door and I don't think I'd sing...

“Had a hole in it.”
As in an acoustic sound hole?
Or a beaver gnawed on an old Melody Maker?

Re: Missed this one!
I can't say why, but I understood it to be an acoustic guitar. But the "hole" was referring to damage and not the sound hole.
