For few grand more, you can probably get the actual Adrian Belew at your house!

Considering he’s playing gigs north and south of me with none in my town, I’m sure he and his van of band mates would stop by on their way through and play kazoos for far less than the cost of that guitar. I could probably sweeten the deal with a Fripp dartboard, too.

The listing lasted about 28 hours before selling after two offers.

I *think* it was the first one listed since this tangerine Belew sold for $7620 in 2018.

I’m feeling pretty thrifty for not spending $9,000 today. I got as far as choosing which of my guitars I was going to list tomorrow (and started changing the strings/restoring the original bridge pup on this one):

Now I get to continue with my plan to fill most of the holes and refinish it yellow - Unless another Belew somehow pops up before then.
