DDR, Err ... patience produced very little , In think it was the Money that excited the seller (another starving musician) :roll: :lol:

I was just trying to make a deal for something I already had ... Good thing it didn't work out !!! ... found out the guitar I was gonna' swap him is worth 3K on Flea Bay ... :o :shock: 8) 8) 8)

Did a new drawing that will allow me to use a tongue box on the front for more storage space, and a little more storage space inside too .. Plus I think the trailer as set up now could use a bit more forward weight ... Image

3K I wondered earlier about value of your guitar.
I know some of the ones I have I wouldn't trade for a trailer.
money is always a wake up call.
what's the saying to make a living as a guitar player is to have a working wife.

" to make a living as a guitar player is to have a working wife."
Pete, apparently that's TRUE !!!! :o
So glad I pursued a career in Art (painting/ printmaking) , at least I have something to show for years of starving ... :lol: .. and yes , my wife does have a Power job ... :thumbsup:
Retired now , so I have more time to do my creative projects .. and take care of "Her Worship " .... :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks guys !!! The wife had a fit when she came home and saw it in the drive-way ... "What's That ? " I told her it was my new toy ... :roll:
She got over it after I thoroughly explained THE PLAN...
:roll:

Thinking I haven't heard the last of this yet ... :o

She stated clearly that she would NOT tow the trailer (no experience ) , so I plan to take her to the shopping center parking lot , and let her experience how easy this is ...
This Ct is so small , it's not hard to tow at all, tracks nicely behind the truck , not even any need for extra wide turns ... much un like our 20' TT... :o
She also said " I don't need to carry everything I own"... so I mentioned her shoe collection ... she paused for thought ... :lol:
