Dargie collection sale alert!

[kestrou]

I have no connection at all to this - and its not quite an eBay or CraigsList sale, so starting a separate thread...

I've been on vacation in Nashville the last week and went into Gruhn's guitars - which are known mostly for their classic Martins - and there's an EBMM collection on consignment there. I don't even know who actually owns it...

Anyways, for the Dargie II fans - they have very reasonably priced the following models in that relatively rare color:
JP6
Albert Lee - with three P90s
Luke - gold hardware
Baritone Silo
Bass - Special 4
Bass - Big Al

There's numerous other EBMMs there, including a Silo Gold Roller.

Eat'em up boys!

Yeah, decent chance I'll be making a stop into there this week... Thanks for sharing!

Man. That jp6 and the triple p90 albert lee look sick

 

[Magic Jason]

I'd haver bought the AL in a second if it had a trem!

I'm looking so hard for a MM90 with a trem in a cool colour!

It would be interesting to know the other side of this story....
Who collected all these DD's in the first place? Original owner?
And why the sell off....?
Sounds like a sad day for someone out there....

There is some cool stuff in there.

An SSS AL with a rosewood neck, a Dargie Silo BFR with mini-humbuckers, etc

Stopped in late today. The triple P90 AL looks to be gone. I really wanted to see that one, as I've never seen one in person. All those guitars look to have been very well cared for - great finds for someone.

Sorry about that.

There also may have been a Silo from the first run (with martini glass inlays) in HSH configuration - before I even posted the "come and get it" thread.

Nice! Wish I could have seen that one.

Those Dargies were originally sold by us to the same person. In that batch were a Silo bass, Al MM90 Piezo, AL SSS piezo, Sterling piezo, Silhouette Gold Roller, & JP6 piezo.

Thanks for the details Pete - figured you might be mixed up in such a large collection!

By the way - anybody know if there were any Morses from the FIRST (martini glass inlay) Dargie run? I've never seen a Morse from that run, but am confident there were some in the second (oval inlay) run. Just wondering on that first run though...

Kevin

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

There were no Morse models in the first run of Dargie Delight guitars (with martini glass inlay)

I snagged the Silo Bass/Baritone. I love the color and the bass/baritone thing is something that will fit in nicely for me.

Does anyone have any production numbers for Dargie II ? I've seen the list for the original Dargie, but none for Dargie II. I imagine there are more for Dargie II, but not sure about the Silo Bass. I imagine there are not very many out there. I can barely find mention of the model in standard colors

thanks,
