	timmib says: 2/15/2014 2:48:19 PM Greetings John, Interesting. Didn't look up the serial number. Don't know ebay well but it seems the seller is mostly a buyer on ebay. Not sure he's going to get $1999. It will be interesting to watch this. Thanks for the reference, John. I'll watch too. Be well, Kim

	john bange says: 2/19/2014 6:27:45 AM good time to have a fat wallet and be in the market for a Vega...new old stock PS-5 and now an Excel on the bay...love those blondies
	john bange says: 2/21/2014 7:04:39 PM $3450 and I think even at that price, it was a bargan
	VPS says: 2/21/2014 7:43:05 PM Wow. That's better than I thought it would do. These seem to have taken a hit the last few years-the demographic that buys them is not exactly growing. I expect the Excel will do ok, but I'll be surprised if it brings $4100. I'd wager it'll be relisted lower, or with a Make Offer.
	Pauls Pretty Good Stuff says: 3/3/2014 8:28:39 PM $3450 was a bargain, almost half what Deering is offering for a copy.
	VPS says: 3/5/2014 8:08:19 AM I don't think Deering is selling a ton of those. I bought a new one in '99 for about $2100. It's for sale by it's current owner and he can't get 2K for it. I bought a very clean '61 a couple of years ago for $2450 on Ebay. It was a good listing, and no one else even bid. It's seems like the demand for these has lessened as we get father away from the time they were popular.

	Old Gray Coat Linked by Bluesage 8 months ago: My first attempt at working out this great Tony Rice composition on the open long neck. It lays our pretty well!

MP3: What Would The Prophets Say? Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The religious basis of authority in the Middle East (or anywhere for that matter) is the source of a lot of suffering and is unsustainable. The violence is mostly perpetrated on women and children.
MP3: You'll Never Leave Texas Alive Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A sad murder ballad of a sort. Some murderers wear nice clothes and use pens and paper to kill and never see their victims.
MP3: Ten Years On Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A lament, written for the 10th anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting. Sadly there are still parents who are irresponsible or foolish, and parents who suffer as a result.
MP3: Shutdown The System Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The pursuit of money is alienating, enervating, and exhausting. Here’s a song of resistance to finance capitalism.
MP3: Take The Wheel Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A song about mentorship, inspired by my mentor and HIS mentors too, that takes the form of the story of a ship’s mate being “shown the ropes”. The old sea captain may also have been a long-neck player
