A Musical Frame
Spotted this at a vintage bike fair today: a frame in the shape of a G key. According to its owner it was built to order for a musician, who never collected it. Still in as-new condition.

There is 78 year old resident of Weston, CT. who plays five stringed Telecasters tuned to G (tuning Low to High is x G D G B D )
Perhaps he might enjoy that. It might make for a unique prop to pose with for an album/cd cover.
Its a gas.. Slap a CAPO on the 4th Fret da da, dad duh da duh.......
You might want to telephone him in the next few days because he's gonna be doing a few shows on the road with his group starting in September.

Is it me, or does that fork need a tuning?
I bet that bike just hums down the road.
Probably picked it up for a song.
sorry, just couldn’t help myself😀

I knew I would find an appreciative audience here. Thanks guys!
BTW, the bike is for sale, and according to another visitor of said fair who test-rode the bike it is straight and rides "better than expected". FWIW.
