    Default What does it say?

    I can't read the message -- can you?

    A bit of guesswork here (and parsing for the Cafe's text editor), but how about "Brian _ Stay Groovy _ Jimi". YMMV!

    I know a couple of Jimi's and one who is pretty "Groovy" himself. I could probably get him to sign a few instruments. The real Jimi maybe signed it and he would have probably picked it up to do it and picking it up he may have even played a couple of licks 'cause being a musician he could hardly help himself but it wasn't really his and it's not an instrument that is identified with him, so what is it, an autograph for $40 k?

    The real unanswered question here is did Brian stay Groovy? I think not.

    I'm not sure I'd want to enter into a transaction with someone who would willingly relinquish an instrument that was signed in a personalized way for them by Jimi Hendrix!

    Well, according to the listing, you also get a picture of Brian. That's gotta be worth something (?)

    I don't know. Brian seems to have lost his groove.

    But with $40,000 maybe he can buy a new groove!

    For $40,000 he can by a few magic markers and some more Fender guitars and Jimi can sign them as well. This could become a cottage industry.

    Groovy.
