And one more piece of "art" for $1. This time a copy of Claude Monet's Le Bassin des Nympheas from 1904.

Bought a nearly new Surface Book at a pawn shop for $535. Didn't know I needed one, but after playing with it for ~5 hours I'm mad I didn't buy one sooner.

I bought a head      Signed Sara Morris 1985, it is close to 20 pounds and larger than it looks and it creeps me the hell out now that I have it. Also been buying a bunch of bad art   Not as creepy as I thought it would be   I like this one

Had a half-day at work, so on the way home stopped off at a couple pawn shops and came home with this 90's Made in Korea Ibanez PF-10BK acoustic with a hard case. Plays good, neck is straight, top is straight, bridge is still securely glued down, and the string height is about as good as it gets. Capo and a spare set of strings in the case, too. $45. Guy at the counter made the comment that the case is worth more than that, and he's right. Other than being dirty and the slight smoke smell in the case there is nothing wrong with it. Hell, the strings on it even seem pretty fresh.

 What, you don't get birthday texts from a pawn shop with 20% off coupons? Grabbed this fuzz pedal for $67 after tax. If I don't like it I can sell and maybe a make a few bucks.  Also bought another high quality bit of art

A guitar, late 70s Epiphone Made in Japan ET-290 Another rack which holds many guitars  And another weird-ish painting that I am in love with   Dated 1981 but if you told me it was from the last 20 years I'd have believed you.

Hit the pawn shops on my way home from work, came home with this ~2012 Squier Vintage Modified HSS Strat, Gator polyfoam case, Snark tuner, and a strap for $152. Case alone is ~$125 new. Other than the fretboard being a little dry and the case having some cat scratch marks it's all in excellent shape.

Another guitar I don't need, Firefly GD90 Les Paul copy, $227 shipped to my door Long story short; very good for the price, which is Firefly's whole thing. They've done limited amounts of this model and they sell out within a few minutes so I'm pretty happy I got one.

I need to stay away for the pawn shops for a while Squier Affinity Hello Kitty Stratocaster, $150. They were about that price new, but currently sell for ~$500 in black and ~$800+ in the pink. They became kind of a jokey thing when they got clearanced out for $100, then the people buying them found out that were actually really nice guitars with a decent sounding pickup and the prices shot through the roof for no real reason.

More stuff for my walls. ShopGoodwill had a group of 11" x 14" framed pics that was dirt cheap Bing says this is Melissa Manchester, and I would agree. Google says it's a picture frame.  Harry Chapin  Comedian Robert Klein  Springsteen  A very young Bonnie Raitt  Chuck just found out I'm going to hang this in the bathroom over the toilet.

Since last week... 1980 Hondo HD-770AB, a set-neck, double-cutaway Les Paul copy, made in Korea, with american made pickups, and and ash body and top. So far, superduper awesome  DOD Grunge FX69(nice)B. I had the original version, it was terrible, but instead of low and high that had butt and head controls. This version isn't any better, but it was cheaper and I won't lose any money selling it.

Items 1 and 2 of 4 arriving this week Homemade, hand-painted copy of George Harrison's "Rocky" Strat. An "official" Fender Custom Shop version is $20,000, this was $176.  24" x 24" painting of Cobain with lyrics of Smells Like Teem Spirit scrawled in the background

Items 3 & 4 this week Korean-made Lotus Strat copy in red  I have another in black, both will get new strings this weekend and probably tossed onto the"sell this" rack. And then I had to buy this because, well, look at it  Hand-painted on a ceramic tile. Both the medium and the subject confuse me

Bought a bunch more cheap guitars 80's Lotus Strat copies  A fancier Lotus Strat copy  An Aria Strat copy  A Japanese made Jackson Soloist for $175 which should have been about three times that. They'll get cleaned up, new strings, and probably flipped for a few bucks profit each, or more than a few in the case of the Jackson.

A numbered photo of Emmylou Harris A print of a Gary Saderup drawing of Eric Clapton  And a new bright pink guitar strap that was so I could retire my 27 year old one on the left, but the new one kinda sucks because it's too slippery

Browsing ShopGoodwill.com as I do, looking for bad/interesting artwork and came across this, which arrived today.  Really looked familiar, and the name rung a bell, because back in April I bought this from the same Goodwill. So because of who I am, I had to have both. And I do  FYI, Bonnie Rand died on 4/1/22 at 89 years old. I bought the first picture on 4/20/22. Didn't take long for her paintings to be dumped at Goodwill! https://www.independent.com/obits/2022/05/05/bonnie-byrnes-rand/

Another week, another bunch of things I might keep or might resell. 1995 Squier VN-serial number Stratocaster. Made in Korea, these seem to have gone up in value and this was cheap enough I could possibly double my money if I sell.  Hondo Professional H-1090, a Japanese copy of a Fender Telecaster made by Tokai around 1980. True story, when I ordered this all I had to go off was a description that said "GUITAR W/CASE-HONDO II PRO" and a $95 price tag with $26.70 shipping. I had a hunch and it paid off, these normally sell in the $5-600 range. I may have screamed a little when I opened the case. Needs a little work, but I am thrilled. This is a keeper.  Hondo Professional H-1100, Japanese copy of a Fender Stratocaster made by Tokay around 1979. Actually ordered before the one above, but arrived after and I knew what it was going to be. In a great coincidence, they have the same 3 color sunburst finish. This one is also a keeper.  60's DeArmond "Mustache" Goldtone guitar pickup. I used to have a stash of these I had picked up over the years, but sold them off like an idiot. Now I have some projects and could use a few, so I'm grabbing them when they're cheap.  And a dirty, nasty, gross Mach1 Les Paul copy that has been turned into a 2-string bass. I could clean it up and swap it back to a guitar, or try to flip as is, or keep it. Not sure which I'll go for yet. I've also picked up two more multi-guitar racks, which somehow don't have any guitars on them yet. The really important thing is I've also sold 8 guitars in the last month.

Both another guitar AND art! Fender MA-1 Parlor-size acoustic that has been hand painted with a "close enough" copy of Van Gogh's Starry Night. And I think that's Tinkerbell on the back  Somehow this a playable guitar, although the paint on the back of the neck isn't so pleasant. String action is good, and could go lower with a quick filing of the bridge saddle. I was surprised because it's usually junk that gets painted when it finally reaches the unplayable level. But it's also not an expensive guitar, they're about $120 used. I paid $45 shipped, which I thought was cheap enough even if it was a junk. It's a good wall hanger even if it played terrible.

A framed, autographed poster of stock car legend Dick Trickle, RIP Other than his excellent name, I remember him coming to the local track before, during, and after his NASCAR days and just stomping the locals. And an autographed photo of former bears, current Steelers QB Mitch Trubisky.  As a Packer fan I loved watching him play, and he is a man of refined tastes

Another cheapo guitar that's nicer than I expected  Marina Feeling Series FL-2 from the mid 80s, probably made in Japan, could be Korea or Taiwan or China, but I've had enough to feel confident saying Japan. Not much known about them, but it's a good player and everything is working.

And even more guitars 80s Lotus Strat copy, had the same model in black earlier this year, will be cleaned, fixed, and flipped  Firefly Tele Thinline, great guitar for $130  Another Lotus for flipping  It has a dirty word on the back!  And one for the mostly permanent collection  1981 Hondo H-745. Walnut body with "flame maple" top and neck(veneer top, painted flame on the neck)  I like it a lot.
