Official Luthiers Forum!

Well due to a pending divorce I am forced to move and I do not feel the desire to haul my power tools with me.I am not even sure of my destination. I checked with Lance and he said it would be ok to let you guys know whats for sale. PM me if you are interested in any thing.
for starters, I have a Gibson es347 in tobacco sunburst thats in nice shape. for you burst lovers, it has no less then 10 burst on the guitar. Front, back, sides(one on each bout) back of neck each side of and back of the headstock.   
Tools are, a 3hp grizzley table saw with router table attachment, about 4 months old.
a 12 jet bandsaw plus a couple blades 1.5yrs old
a 12 grizzley radial drill press also 1.5yrs old.
a 3.5 hp craftsman compressor
a 4 inch thick 24x84" work bench with leg vise.
I live 20 minutes north of Charlotte NC, about the only thing I would ship is the gibson... I will add photos if any wants me to.
Hopefully someone can get more use out of them then I will.. Lutherie is now on hold for me

sorry to hear of the troubles Mike, but look forward to better days. Good
luck on selling the tools...If I was close and had any money at all I'd be
interested :)

Mike, wish the best for you during this time, if I lived anywhere close I would certainly be interested, but it is a long way to Texas.

Good Luck

thanks for the kind words guys. I look forward to the brighter days. they're pretty dreary right now.. I'll keep reading all the post and watching with envy all the beautiful guitars that are crafted here. It does give me something to look foward to. They say change is good..I'll let you know

Mike,

Sorry to hear the new and I hope you are able to divest yourself of your tools and guitar quickly. As to your pending situation, please remember to take time to think before you speak or act. These life problems can sometimes become emotionally charged and it can inhibit you from effectively resolving the situation. Stay relaxed and work through it and move on to you next phase in your life. Like I always say” Things happen in life that you can’t control so adapt and move forward”.

Best of Luck

Philip
