It cost more than I think my wife will like - but I did win the signed Vince Gill guitar from the Charity Folks Auction.

"Calling all fans of one of the country music's biggest stars, the one-and-only Vince Gill! Don’t miss your chance to add this beautiful acoustic Dean Traditional Exotic guitar, signed by Vince himself, to your collection today"

Now I just need to:
A) Tell my wife I actually bid and won
cool.gif Learn to play guitar so it's more than just "on display. smile.gif
C) Hope my wife understands.

sad.gif Well....my signed guitar arrived....I was so excited.
I take it out carefully - turn it over and it is damaged...like it might have been dropped...a slight gash in the wood. After trying to decide if I should just keep it (even though damaged), I decided reluctanltly to return it.
I really wanted a signed Vince guitar - and for a great charity cause - but I think it should be in non-damaged shape (especially for what it cost).
Not sure what happened on delivery - but the Charity Folks were very understanding and will take it back.

Oh wow Charlie, I am so sorry to hear that. But I agree it should be in tip top condition.

Hi Charlie,
Surely the folks running the charity will get you a new one......right? unsure.gif

That's a shame Charlie, I don't blame you for returning it.

As far as I know they only had the one signed Vince guitar. It sounds like they are going to refund my money. I sent it back and they just need to get it and inspect it before they (Charity Folks) proceed.

The damage may be easily fixable - I am not a guitar repair person. I would think someone will really want this guitar anyway.

Wow, Charlie,what a disappointment sad.gif . Sorry . Hope they'll send it back in tip top shape.

I received an autographed guitar, signed by both Vince and Amy, which was given to me two years ago as a Christmas gift. My daughter's in-laws bid on it through an auction to surprise me for Christmas. It worked ------- I WAS surprised, and very, very excited!!!

I hope you finally receive an autographed guitar! I proudly display mine in a glassed case! I get MANY comments on it! I love it!
