This Painting.

But recently I was told it was a fake, so I overspent on the $2.99 I paid

When I was a teen I "stumbled" on some money.  Spent close to $70k flying myself and 15 friends to cancun. All expenses paid. It was debauchery to the max.

Yes, that's a stock photo, but yep, the parker fly.  wood tone.  absolutely love it.  I have two les pauls that I may never gig with again.  the Parker is just so dynamic, so easy to play.  It it almost too easy on the fingerboard.  my mind does the math, sees the scale, and that guitar just lets me do it effortlessly.  I try soloing on an acoustic now and it feels like I'm shoveling snow :)

Pretty crazy considering one sold for 137 dollars off at a government auction not too long ago.

This was in the late 1980's, when 16mm was still a viable production technique...I was trying to start a production company...You have to remember that 16mm is 25 dollars per minute...No one shoots 16mm anymore...not when electronic cinematography is so available and cheap...

Guns aren't items.  They're breathing living things.
