No prob, what you say makes sense. I think I will do that. Unsigned guitar. Already have LOTS of other signed stuff from them, got a large care package of stuff. But I think I will get the signed set list.

They do have several dates in the UK on this tour though.

“oops: I wish I’d posted on this when I read it last night. Apols, Mr Fenwick – I thought you were one of those “autographed guitar” sellers oft-seen on Fleebay.

ReelBigFish are not well known in Europe, but have a good following in the biggest market (USA). You just happened to own the dotcom domain name. Bit like your farm sitting on an oil-lake, or the projected site of the railroad junction. Put another way; supposing you had a Gary Powers infosite called “U2.com” – there might be a well-known Irish band (and Island Records) interested in acquiring that domain.

Anybody interested in looking up that band will try “reelbigfish.com” as their first attempt. “.org”, “.tv” etc don’t even come close. The record company spends waaaay in excess of 20k plugging the band on radio, TV etc.

Too late now, but you could’ve held out for more – and in cold cash. Nevermind. If you absolutely have to settle for a guitar, do as Lee says. A top o’ range LP, decline the “signed by band offer”. Instead, get a signed copy of the handwritten setlist of the gig you’re going to. I doubt if the guys will make “Beatles” status, but that piece of paper would make more than the guitar if they did. Assuming they don’t, you’ve got a nice (unmarked) Gibson to sell.”
