This is the time of year when the coyotes pack up for hunts and will take a large dog.

One of my best scores this year on guitars. We saw this little old lady struggling with her hand made sign in the wind. We stopped and helped her. She only had a few item in the yard and I bought a cool old chair. While talking to her I asked if she had any more stuff and handed her one of my cards. A couple of weeks later she call and told me about some other stuff and mentioned an old guitar. I told her I'd be right over. She brought out an old clap board case. I opened it and it was a 1958 Harmony arch top Broadway model. Not a big deal until you look at the condition. Perfect, not a scratch on it. Not even any finish cracks and those birch finishes are famous for.
I ask her how much and asked what I'd give her, I said how about $90. She jump up and down and said great. I looked it up and the catalog in 1958 had it listed, retail for $49. I'd bet that was what she paid for it. My local guitar store guy said "easy retail price for it is over $300". Those business cards have more than paid for themselves.
Always on the look out for old "Law suit guitars" from Japan.

When I was kid in army they’re awesome if you know what your looking for
