Now don't get impatient, don't be a foot tapper, I will get to the point. These are rare, they don't just fall off of a cliff you know. Some say if you take your summer holiday to a place in the sun, a wonderful land like Atlantis you may spot one in the hidden city. Then you have to return to the Alamo with the riders in the sky in the moonlight shadows. Rumour has it there was a time these were available from the quatermassters store according to a lady named Mary Anne, but she spent most of her life in a sleepwalk, kinda like a living doll, so that is a dubious claim. One owner said he fought for his from a the savage called Geronimo, who lived in an evergreen tree, he says he had a cosy chat, but when he was called a little \"B\" he had to runaway......OK that's it I'm done!!

Now don't get me wrong, the Squier version is a nice guitar, but this is \"the Daddy\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"clo8s\" data-offset-key=\"4kbj6-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"4kbj6-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\u003cspan data-offset-key=\"4kbj6-0-0\"\u003e\u003cspan data-text=\"true\"\u003eThis fabulous example has seen little use, it is immaculate with the mildest of tarnish on the metal work.
