2 new guitars.

Say it ain't so!! 

I too have bought another guitar.  A 1958-59 Silvertone 620, based on the Kay K22.  It has a very wide 17-1/4" lower bout and a pinched waist.  I received it yesterday and am still working on writing up the post about it.

 Finding it very hard to reply,  or make posts, keeps kicking me off , stating site not using correct protocol.

Congratulations on the new guitar, 17" lower bout, that's big.

Took the Burny 335 guitar back to the guitar shop, it was a great guitar, top quality, sounded great, but the 16" lower bout was not comfortable to me, so exchanged it for a Takamine Parlour Guitar model GY93E, loverly small guitar, I like small guitars.
 Will post some photos soon, but time for bed now, need all the beauty sleep I can get

I have ANOTHER new (to me) guitar coming today!! I'm leaving work now to go home to wait for it!!

I got it.  It looks pretty good.  I took lots of pics and did my writeup.  I'll make the forum post tomorrow.  It's 8:30pm here.  I'm done. 

It'll be a while before I get to it to make it playable.  It needs a neck reset, fret level, and restick the pickguard.  I have (2) customer guitars to work one.  They come first.

CTGull,

No problem with high jacking the thread.

Congratulations on the Silvertone Guitar.
Sounds like a fair bit of work there for you, but if anyone can make it a great playing guitar, you are the one.
Nice bit of history in this guitar, should be worth a fair price, when you have worked you magic on it, good luck.

aristophon,

Nice to hear from you, the Cabin has been very quiet these past few months.
Must admit I prefer my Acoustic guitars that included my Nylon strung guitar, I enjoy playing about with the Electric guitars you can have a lot of fun with them, but as you say, you can spend hours knob twiddling.
First thanks for the kind words with regards to the 335 Burny and the Gretsch Electromatic, but unfortunately both guitars have been traded in, I can tell quite quickly if I'm not going to enjoy playing them, so prefer to trade them in rather than keeping them hidden away in their cases, but don't get me wrong, they were both great guitars, but just not for me.

With reference to the economy of the Country, nothing I can do about it, so just plod on, this afternoon bought two little sausage rolls, one for me and the wife as a snack £3 only a year or so ago they were only 60p each.
