It is a very nice looking guitar though. Congratulations on the find.

This constant posting about Hashimoto guitars is getting tiresome.

I don't know what it is, but I can be really obdurate (as many of you know). I had been hearing people go on and on about Richard Thompson for years. I had listened to a bit of it, too, but it never really did anything for me. Finally saw him in concert maybe 6 months or so ago. I don't get it. Don't misunderstand. I'm not saying he's not everything his fans say he is, but I left scratching my head wondering what all the fuss is about. That show just left me cold, and I really wanted to like him. I hope nobody thinks I'm bashing the guy, because that's not it at all. Just wondering what I am missing that I can't appreciate somebody who is by all accounts one of the great talents of out time. I think "52 Vincent" is one of the greatest recordings of all time and based on that I've really tried to like him. So far it hasn't worked.

The IRS will probably take it for back taxes then lose it in some government warehouse.

Thanks, I've been wondering about that myself. I though it was one of those things you never find out about; Like who really built the pyramids and why the chicken crossed the road. Now I know about songbird guitars at least.
