From the Road:

PErhaps Grant can make this s STICKY--- or a room....

However I regularly make "Pilgrimages --shall we say to musty back rooms--- weird lighting --salesman lurking---seedy guitar stores---
I travel the BIG BOX SHOPS and the MOM & POPS .......the new the vitnage and the PAWN SHOPS (which are a WHOLE other level of creepy---better have your shots up to date!!!!)

ANY--whoo (yep i said it) today --- I found myself on N. Orange Ave in Orlando Fl. for 2 meetings---and WHAT jjust happens to be at 1819 N. Orange ave, you ask....
well.........ask damn it!


O.K.

Blackbird Vintage Music! Thats what.
Bill Childs was happy to let me fondle some of these wonderful guitars......interrupt his work day--- and wonder around on the RUG (its a perfect rug -- pulls the whole room together) while I ramble on about guitars..........patience of Job that fella




Awesome--- nice --- little out of the way "nook" in Downtown "O" town. very many tasty vintage toys --amps-- pedals--- and I was even allowed to fondle a very nice 70s era FIREBIRD!!! rare with the Red WHite and Blue bird on it---- the gas is building as we speak.........
The shop is great if your in the area--- give them try--- lots of work has gone into the place and it shows.

So check them out -- FYI gang--they ship!
some restrictions apply---no salesman will call--- eat your vegetables---- some fading with wear will occur.

Holy e,ill take the Tele and the Fender Tweed please.

I played that tele goo-- the one with the duel buckers......man that thing is SMOOOOOOOTH as aged whiskey

 

[Bocc69]

Very cool. I see more than a few things there that are making me drool. I normally drool, but not this much.

Looks like a fender sandwich in that rack...tasty!

 

[SirFlintstone]

Groovy--- so as a service to my fellow Guitarded I will post pics and tales of my travels---- not all the pics will have tales...er tails.....wait-- no those pics are on a separate computer.......
ANY way ---should be fun......or at least funny

 

[Col Mustard]

very cool... we should all post pictures and stories of the funky guitar stores
we find in our travels. ...or the elegant ones of course.

That's quite a wall of sound, right there in Orlando.

 

[Inspector #20]

I would take that "Pagey" looking Les Paul...

 

[BlackSG91]

That's quite a collection of real nice guitars. It sure would give you G.A.S. walking into that store. I already have under 20 guitars so I usually now avoid music stores & pawn shops because I'm running out of room for my guitars.

Often I do not take pics ---er usually because I am traveling for WORK and well --- you dont want a "HEY LOOK AT ME DICKING OFF ON THE CLOCK" pci showing up accidentally on facebook---or the company cell phone

so--- that is rare--- but -- when on lunch break --- or as in this case AFTER business hours --- its all good
Sam Ash at the Dolphin Mall in Miami Fl.







FYI some of you will be THRILLED to learn--- I GOT A NEW CELL PHONE--- with a BETTER CAMERA! so no more oil on the lens pics.

Jimmys Vintage Music in Auburndale Fl.



I could live there......

 

[Session 5]

What I don't see any Godin guitars in these pics. These guys in Florida need to get with the program. eSGEe I expect you to take charge on this matter.

 

[eSGEe]
