One thing that has me peeved about the holidays are the assortment of damaged boxes that arrive at my doorstep. Seems over half of the packages I’ve received thus far have been crushed, opened, wet, or covered in black soot.

I’m not sure what happens during shipping, but I’m beginning to think that packages are being placed on the tops of trucks, strapped to the exhaust pipe, or left under the hood to melt away on the engine block.

Has anyone suffered the same fate this holiday season?

Today, the Stevie Ray Vaughn “Lenny” went on sale. For a cool $17K, you can own one of 185 available in the United States.

The guitar was one of Vaughn’s favorites. It was given to him by his wife Lenora, nicknamed Lenny, for his birthday. Vaughn used the guitar to compose his namesake instrumental piece long before Vaughn reached super-stardom.

In 2004, Guitar Center purchased the original guitar for $623,500 from Christie’s auction house. You can purchase your own at Guitar Center.
