It's a beauty and McCurdy can sure make it talk. Will definitely spend some time with Cake now. Shall I assume you played one and were able to walk away from it? I'm no Danny Sheridan but I predict you will have this guitar by next summer. See, done!
That '59 LP like Green played was $239 back in the day. He sold it to Gary Moore who has since passed and now a very good player out of Dallas has it. I hate seeing collectors hoarding instruments that need to be played. Some dude was showing off three of them on the net.
Agree, it too pisses me off and I hate to see people that have family "heirlooms" hanging on the wall and not doing them justice by keeping them in shape. I have a neighbor with a '44 Gibson J-45 (best sounding acoustic guitar in the world IMO, there is a reason it's called the "workhorse") hanging on the wall collecting dust.
Check out some of the Cake stuff he is on. It's solid playing on his part. I did play on one and walked away, but it was with a tear in my eye as I did so. T'was better to have loved her for only a short time than to have never loved her at all. I assure you that I didn't do her justice as Mr. Atkins, Knopfler, McCurdy and several others do, but it was nice. I don't think I will buy one anytime soon, when Mini-AUT1 gets older and if he decides he wants to play and will stick with it, then I will give it some consideration. Until then my little Takamine G340SC and Epiphone Dot will have suffice.

Pretty good solo, btw
Oh, and that bass line is absolutely wicked.
