Haha cool,do you have a link to your post?
Wow, awesome!
Which one of you is Cagney and which one is Lacey?
I thought I recognized those guys
That's great! You should post about the Les Pauls and how both the guy who was trying to sell his "1960" Les Paul Custom and the "expert" that Rick called in to appraise it both work at the same store, Cowtown Guitars. You should also say that that same guitar is pictured in Cowtown's inventory(sold) page and how the 70's Les Paul that Rick traded for the double barreled musket also came from Cowtown Guitars.Oh and don't forget to mention that Cowtown Guitar's webpage say: " [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]WATCH FOR COWTOWN GUITARS ON EPISODES OF "PAWN STARS" on THE HISTORY CHANNEL !!!!"[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
Wait until I get my V back from those guys! Ya'll are gonna' get me banned at my favorite guitar joint! :rofl
I'm "purty sure" this guitar isn't a burst.
Haha,hey Texas ... what is that sweet Goldtop that Jesse has? Maybe you can be on an episode of Pawn Star. You could borrow Jesse's guitar and bring it in to Gold and Silver Pawn, tell Rick that it is a 1957 Les Paul that you found and you want to sell it for $40,000 and then he will call Jesse to come in to appraise it. That would be sweet!
Wow! Hey check out this post about Pawn Stars that I found on a forum for guys that collect vintage gas pumps.
"speaking of entertainment...
I wrote Rick today...found him online and sent him this:
Hi -
Are you the same 'Rick's Restorations' that was on the History Channel show 'Pawn Stars' last night?
...and I got this reply:

Thank you,

...so I sent him the following:
Hi Rick -
Wow...what a small world!
Hey, that was some Coca-Cola machine! I gotta tell you, it looked like a different machine when you were finished with it.
I mean that - it really looked like a different machine. It looks like you started with a trashed machine, maybe a Vendo?...and finished with a Cavalier. My buddies and I were trying to figure out how you got the embossed Coca-Cola logo to be smaller on the 'restored' machine than on the original. We all thought of the number of hours it would take to do all of that work (and how much it would cost), and we decided it would have been easier for you just to roll out a restored Cavalier, and pass that off as if you had transformed that rusty junk into another make/model Coke machine. That dope on Pawn Stars couldn't tell the difference, right?
Hey - I guess that's why you're on TV...
One more thing - that gas pump you restored for the Pawn Stars...funny, the man that sold that pump to you years ago is a friend of mine! (Small world, right?) Anyway, he was watching the show with his wife, and - in his words - he almost fell out of his chair when he saw that pump. His wife actually recognized it! I mean, what are the odds that a pump you bought got sold unrestored to someone, who just happened to bring it into that Pawn Shop - only for them to buy it and return it to you for restoration? They'd have to be astronomical!
If I didn't know better, I'd almost think the people bringing stuff into that cool pawn shop were bringing your stuff in there and just acting like it was their stuff. What a set-up that would be! The guys filming the show would get a plot, and you'd get a 30-minute commercial for your business on the History Channel. Heck, you could get your employees or friends to play the part of the 'seller' at the pawn shop - and you wouldn't even have to pay an actor!
But, hey - that would all be a big fraud, wouldn't it?"
Of course they are...
Shit, even "Cheaters" is scripted....
