schundog Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Greetings from Birmingham, AL! The fam and I are convoying down to Florida for Spring Break, and we stopped in Franklin, TN, to see my wife's childhood friend and family. Two exits before we got there, I asked if she minded if we stopped by Wolfes. She was fine with it, and even snapped a couple pics. I chatted with Ron there, a bit, and they said they were WAY low on Heritage inventory, that orders had been coming in slowly. I told him how busy they were, so that made sense to him. I felt bad taking his time, but I told him up front I wasn't buying anything today, and gave him 2 Heritage picks. I did buy a Wolfe Guitar T-shirt, and, as he rang up the $13 purchase, his boss tossed a Wolfe Guitars baseball hat on the counter, and said, "Hey, you bought a shirt, you GET a hat!" Very cool gesture. Here's a couple pics. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz327/schundog/Florida2012003.jpg[/img]"]https:// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Wow, looks like a great time! You have your eye on that blueburst 535! Sweet choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhoadsScholar Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Sounds like a good Time Shundog. Did you get to play any of the Heritage guitars they had in stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 The Blueburst was a 25th Anniversary, too. SWEET! RS, I didn't play anything, as we were in a hurry, and I don't feel right playing guitars I'm not even considering buying (not that they weren't sweet, the stable is simply overstuffed!). I did check out the neck profile on a G&L ASAT Classic. NICE! Ron was a good salesman, asking very good questions, as a salesman should. He made me wish he worked for ME! haha. I've got a pic of the Sweet 16 that was behind the counter on my iphone, I'll try to upload it later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavesNotHere Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Welcome to Alabama Shundog! Even if you're just passing through. You passed by me and the Bird by about 20 miles. I love going to Wolfe's every chance I get. They are only about 1 1/2 hours from Huntsville. My inlaws live in Nasville (Mt. Juliet actually, but close enough) so I do get to stop by every few months. John and all the guys there are a class act. They always make me feel at home even when I'm just window shopping.Have a great time on the Redneck Riveria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 It is so great to see a store with a wall of incredible Heritages lined up. A beautiful sight that is !! What musician wouldn't want to try some of those... they look fantastic.. I was counting on you to take pics when I read the title of this thread... Thanks.

Steiner Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Schundog, you may as well turn around and go home. You've seen the best the south has to offer and somehow managed to piss off the locals. Great shots of the inventory; thanks for the porn. May the rest of your vacation be as beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schundog Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 where in florida? Fort Walton Beach, Lance. We're leaving Friday morning, so if you would want to come up for a beer or dinner before then, PM me. Ron, I WOULD have honked, but I didn't want to scare the sheep you were trying to help over that fence! haha. Here's a few more pictures from the other side of the store, and some amps. LOTS of G&Ls http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz327/schundog/Florida2012019.jpg[/img]"]https:// made from wood and transformers from old Hammond organs Swart Marshall Marsh Brent, I didn't see much used stuff, just a rosewood colored Alvarez Dreadnaught as I was getting ready to leave. Very cool store, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitfiddler Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Is that a head amp conversion?? Talk about cool!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Is that a head amp conversion?? Talk about cool!! Yeah, man. He says the company refurbs Hammond Organs, and if they are not salvagable as organs, they use the transformers from them and the woods from the remains to make these amps. Oh, by the way, here's that Wolfe Guitars T-Shirt, straight from the beach..... http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz327/schundog/Florida2012034.jpg[/img]"]http:// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackBaruth Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Okay, this is SO funny. I stopped by Wolfe on Thursday, which was the 22nd, I think. And I spent a little cash on a Korina ASAT Junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
