Larry was the colored Fender dood.

I've been away too long, guess the kids are still in business, just wish I had bought a truckload of tweeds from them back then.

Re: Columbus Guitar Show
Was Larry doing rugs back then?
He had massive persian rugs with walls and walls of colored Fenders from 56-64, and a freaking pile of Gibson mandolins you'd have to step over laying open in the floor to get to the guitars.

Re: Columbus Guitar Show
Sorry Miles I don't remember about the rugs, just a shitload of fenders. Last time I saw Larry was back in 93, I gave him my breakfast platter at 3 am after I had a very hard night of drinking.
one look at the greasy potatoes and eggs, I knew there was no way I could keep it down so I turned and handed the food to Larry who was at a table next to me.

Used to love to see his wall of Fender amps at guitar shows. Got some cool guitars from him too.

Re: Columbus Guitar Show
I was just telling Heebee about Stan Jay and the mint 58 V the other day. Was the same show as Geraldpocalypse.
So Stan shows up in a tux with one guitar for a triple booth. Flying V that was bought, cased, bagged in something like visqueen then shoved into a large army duffle in a closet in 1958. Never viewed until 1990.
The only other thing I have ever known that crazy was a guy down the street here was a doctor and he bought one of the first hundred production Corvettes, drove it home, placed it on blocks.. and covered it up. It had 13 miles on the odometer in 1989 I think it was. He also had 2000+ original toy robots and ray guns. All unopened.

Not in years. Might have to do it soon to get rid of the parts.
