Bob November

I moved to Eugene Or for school 2 years ago and i stumbled across an amazing little shop with some great vintage guitars. it was Bobs store and every now and again i would get to talking with him about my love of vintage les pauls and various other old guitars Bob knew a TON of cool little facts, and he owned a 60 burst which i got to see and hold once

it sucks that he is gone but i am glad his store will live on, i am sure some of you guys on here probably delt with bob at some point he had been dealing in vintage stuff for a long long while

Re: Bob November

I met Bob several years ago when I stopped into his store on a road trip. Lots of cool vintage gear, we chatted, and when he picked up on my enthusiasm for old bursts, he winked at me and said, "Would you like to see one?". He then removed it from its secret chamber and graciously let me noodle around on it for a while. It was so resonant that when I plucked the B string and bent it up a step with vibrato, I felt like it would just sustain the whole day, as long as I held that note! It was the highlight of my road trip. Thank you, Bob - I owe you one.
