Another ex Jimmy Wiggins Guitar

Really don't want to do this but...... Another of my own guitar children need to be sacrificed in order to pay my Council Tax and other pointless crap. This guitar has been mistaken for many things in the past- I originally thought it was Italian, thus for many years it being referred to as the Italian guitar. It was then put to me that it may be east european, a few years ago it was idetified as being a Hopf Allround.That would make it German!

I got it in 2003 off Colin Staples. It was a repair somone hadn't collected, being as this was somepoint in the mid 70's it was time to renovate and sell it. For some reason (probably drink related) I appeared in Colin's workshop and decided I had to have it. He lent it me for a bit and I bought it. I have gigged it alot, one time I was carried off stage at the Running Horse with it, cos I was so drunk. It was the original Moules and Wiggins guitar. It makes you sound like the 1950's !!. It is also wired out of phase on the middle position a la T- Bone Walker.

So watch me really sob when some fucker (sorry customer) has my pants down and I end up with £100.00....Seriously though folks £250.00 and you can have it............
