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
Learn to play guitar so it's more than just "on display.
C) Hope my wife understands.

Charlie

Congrats, Charlie. I'm sure your wife will understand.

Very cool Charlie. If your wife is a fan of Vince's .............no problem. Congradulations.

Congratulations Charlie ! Pass it off to your wife as an investment !

Congrats Charlie!!!

Linda's right...call it an investment!!!

Congratulations, Charlie!!! Hope your wife is as happy for you as we are!!!

Oh Wow! Congrats. Wife will understand --- it's a Vince Gill item, you know.

Congratulations Charlie!

That's great, Charlie! What a great husband...surely your wife will understand.

Thanks All!
I'll keep you posted.

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.
Charlie

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?

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.

Charlie

Wow, Charlie,what a disappointment . 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!
