I've played Gibson's since 1970, other guitars for a couple of years before that. Don't play now as much as I used to, but life and family have a way to change priorities and goals. This included 6 years in the Navy with 4 of those aboard a submarine. I have a 60's non reverserse Firebird and a '70 SG Standard. Had a 60's Fender Vibrolux Reverb...... sorry, smacking myself upside the head for selling it. Looking forward to learning all things Gibson.
