Making money

People can blame economic hardship on a lot of different things. I blame my monetary troubles on having recently accepted only dead-end, low paying jobs. Or, more specifically, not continuing my education or working harder to find the good ones that are out there.
Because of that, its become easier for me to release some older items from my collection of stuff.
One of those items being an Airline Guitar that I've had in its case for a couple years.
This guitar was made popular by Jack White of the white stripes, and I'm convinced that's about the only reason I held onto it for so long. It was received for free from a family friend who's daughter lived the romantic TV dream of dating a guy in a rock band. He apparently decided this was the perfect guitar to create or cover all the music they played.
I haven't put in the time to learn how to play, and I wouldn't learn on this guitar if I did.
It had minor wear considering the age, and had nice deep sound through the amp.
A quick ad on craigslist proved interesting. It sparked a few potential buyers, and a couple fake ones.
Until a completely serious and unrelenting man asked to buy it for what ever price it would take.
And after a couple questions were answered, a solid price was agreed on and a spot to meet in Ocean Beach, San Diego.
With any exchange like this, it's important to go with a buddy and a keen sense of safety. But this little spot in OB, just down from Hodad's, seemed like a cool and populated place.

And the buyer was right. He informed me that his sister and brother in law own this place called "The Electric chair" An awesome looking salon and music studio on Newport Ave. in OB.
This place is a maze of funky artwork, salon chairs and tons of people. Weaving around the place are rooms in the back for private music lessons, with walls covered in noise isolating Persian looking rugs. Artists display their works on every spare inch in this place, and I notice that my eyes can't stop darting all around to catch every bright detail. This place even has a full stage, room for concerts and he even said belly dancing classes. I'm sure that's not all that happens there.
Not quite a hole in the wall, this place is way more than that, and has been around for a while. Not a surprise when you step in there, It's a gem in OB.
It was great that this Airline guitar could find such a nice and fitting home! To a man who will truly appreciate its history, and the sound of a vintage guitar. I couldn't have asked for a better situation.
Weird how things can work out like that.
