I had an original 56 black beauty. I decided I don't have the stomach to do an online with a $20,000 guitar with somebody I just don't know. So I went to CME and made a deal for a beautiful Murphy aged a 2016 true historic which I really love better than the black beauty plus cash of course. I used to laugh at people to do this kind of thing, trading old for new. But at this age in my life I can't afford the risk of getting ripped off and I'm really trying to downsize my collection. I have another Murphy that I will put on the market now and keep this one. I figure if I sold it on eBay I would lose 2000 in their fees plus $150 in PayPal fees. So really if I even got the 20,000 I would really be getting 18+ for it. I tried the forum but nobody seemed interested so I did the next best thing and now I'm happy. I'm older now and don't want to leave my wife stuck with such a hard instrument to sell. I'm a happy camper over this deal. It's OK if you guys laugh at me I don't mind
