  2. Get finish names and asking prices from DarrylPlus: is each one for sale, or display only?
  3. Ask Darryl what he dropped offThe bass on Aug 25 (in Storage A), and the pieces on Sep 9 and Sep 16. None were recorded.

๐Ÿ” How the IDs were settled
  • Each wall crop was compared against the site's catalogue photos and Darryl's old store photos.
  • Gresham vs Chatham swap ruled out: the Gresham has two J pickups and 3 knobs, the Chatham a split pickup and 2 knobs on a wood plate.
  • Names match Darryl's text of Aug 27: Mach II, Chatham, Gresham, Stratham, Telham.
  • Still a judgment call: the Stratham's finish name, and whether #3 and #4 are the exact units in the site's hero photos.

๐Ÿ” Why serials unlock everything
  • The shop only accepts an instrument with a unique serial, so the 5 wall units sit on the site as a fixed list for now.
  • With serials and prices, each becomes a real shop record: checkout on the site, and a claimable serial in the app.
  • Checkout also needs Darryl's Stripe choice. His three options are on darryl.gregspero.com/stripe (password protected).
