Did Heather ever finish the tombstone? How would you know whose who's?
I'd be willing to listen to her, have a heart to heart. I doubt it would happen. I sense if I offered her double what the pawn shop paid, she might look at it but... Uh, yeah... Longshot of the year.
Being that the Bell V goes around $400-$450 (used) on a good day, the pawn shop probably paid $120-$150. My goal would be to flip it for 8 Squier Strats. I clean, adjust and modify them and give or sell them to kids (with my lifetime adjustments) or recovering people learning guitar to keep busy.
