Notes
Email me at tombukovac@gmail.com but ONLY IF you are seriously interested in any of these guitars friends…
you KNOW my prices will be fair
what usually happens in these types of scenarios is that there will be a buyer who wants a few of the items in a package deal, so im definitely prepared to talk turkey and make some deals with anyone in that mindset
…and even more importantly, you know that I wouldn’t even HAVE these guitars in the first place if they weren’t some bad motherfuckers
Thank you for watching friends

Poor Marshy got himself grounded by his dear mom and dad for some careless behavior on his E-bike the other day …
not allowed to ride for 2 weeks…BUT if he goes a good deed, like wash one of dad’s old cars for example…it can knock a day off
Friends, I cannot tell you how ELATED I am to be back among the living …I am not yet what you would call “100 percent”, but I have come a HELLUVA long way from multiple days of dry heaving every 20 minutes in some uncomfortable hotel room in London
Thank you guys again for all the support, well wishes, and donations to the channel
