A few years ago there was a shop in Glasgow called "The Guitar Store" and every year their promotional vibe was that for one day only they'd sell brand new guitars for 99 pence! (that's just under a £pound and slightly more than one dollar!). Folks, we're talking a MAJOR case of people flocking to sleep outside the shop in the streets here!

I remember standing outside the joint for ages one time, freezing my arse off in the snow from about 4 in the morning onwards.

But by the time I eventually got inside the shop, they had sold all of the 99p guitars. All I got that day was a couple of free plectrums that I had to fight for on my hands and knees in a violent scramble.

The bastards!

Anyway, I guess you'll not be surprized to hear that they've now shut down.

Hey I thought I might have gotten a good one yesterday. A decappitated Ovation Acoustic electric. Sometimes you can splice the headstock back on. It turns out that this decap was not the case so I salvaged all the parts off of the instrument. Salvaged:
Electronics complete (incl bridge saddle).
Tuners (stock oem machine heads)
Rosewood 21 (oem fretboard)
decorative bezel (for sound hole)

Garage sale score this morning! "hey how much you want for this old stomp box thing?"
The Electro Harmonics "Bad Stone" (PhaShft)
well you ready?.........twelve bucks! yeah!
