 Angel 199 guitar
                                                                                                                      SOLD

This electric guitar was supposedly purchased in Rio de Janeiro, under odd circumstances, around April or May of 1965. I love it but can't wait to get rid of it. The guy who bought it said there had been a horrible train wreck down there and the old woman who found it in the aftermath, crated and intact, couldn't wait to get rid of it either. He sold it to me because HE couldn't wait to get rid of it. He didn't have the crate anymore, but said it had a broken seal from a Lithuanian monastery. There is a medallion of St. Michael below the bridge and the number 199 on a tag above the bridge pickup. It's not clear why. I have no instructions on how to operate the wild circuitry, but it's pretty. The guitar plays nice, but you don't want it sitting out if you are by yourself. Play it when other people are with you or you'll be the next one who can't wait to get rid of it.
