Thanks guys . I love all 3 . I am about to snipe another one lol . Though they haven't always been a favorite the 50's and sixties Dunhills are winning me over . I have a kaywoodie chinrester headed to Walker briar for stem repair and a kaywoodie churchwarden going for a little make over . Due to the fact I've only seen a couple of these before I once regarded them as favorites . But ...... The 54 Dunhill is starting to Rival both , and my 62 is in the mix as well . As for large pipes , my ser Jacopo is starting to rival my Preben Holms faabourg . My palate and smoking style keeps evolving , and so my acquisition disorders are getting pretty serious , as evidenced by my recent consideration of trading a custom built Bluescaster in my avitar to my Coworker Dr. George , for 4 of his favorite pipes . The guitar took me about 1 month to complete in 1999 . It is a very well built Louisiana blues electric guitar that is a cross between a Stevie Ray Vaughn sound / Hendrix sounding stratocaster guitar . The pipes I'm trading are , a 1963 Dunhill shell briar bent billiard , a 1966 Dunhill root briar , a blasted Paolo Becker strawberry wood , and a Dunhill Dr. Two star that looks like a Rhodisian , he claims to be worth over two grand . I have about 1,900.00usd in parts and about 1,500.00usd in labor on the guitar . The pipes are near mint , and very lightly used . I'm still on the fence about it for sentimental ties to that guitar I call black blues beauty . Do any of you think that this is a fair deal , without the sentiment in consideration ? If I were to build another guitar just like this one , the pricetag would be about 4,000.00usd . Any feedback would be greatly appreciated .
