Is your Picture Alfred Lord Gordon . And Now I know what this site is a way to drive me from Gibson products forever. Do you post from the break room in Nashville? Eff... Grammarly I am a Disabled veteran looking for a Gibson Standard. Personal opinion My Punktuation?

So, At age 5 years I played my Uncle Vernon's Les Paul And my uncle Herbs Strat. It was 1961 The Paul was a dark Burst maybe 1957 as it was from a pawn shop the strat who cares. The Demo shop on Reverb seems a way to boost sales without dropping the price for used American Standards. I have owned several over the years .But now .... Printing Demo on a used Standard or Custom seems Just wrong , The money seems wrong if you burn the resale value in this manner. Also, If a Chinese copy can do book-matched Maple tops for 300 dollars. why pay for something. Devalued With Demo And a Hinky top grain Also. Which Gibson's are American. There's Korean Single cuts At 1300. with Ebony fret boards and EMI's Locking tuners. Tusc nuts and so on. Why sell nostalgia then degrade the product I welcome anyone's Opinion .

I bought one of the 1973 tobacco sunbursts I was Told at Gattusso's Music in Canton Ohio . That the color was a soft satin finish and they shipped out 50 in 1973. I saved up $500.00 at $1.25 an hour bought it in the basement in early April 1974 The sales dude sold it to me with the hard-shell case Gibson leather strap Black a set of extra Slinky's. 09 up a couple of Ball Picks (thin). $497.62. I played in a few Basement bands with Some good dudes. I knew Phil Keaggy of Glass Harp Played a 1970 Cherry Burst Deluxe let me play it in Akron at a Christian Concert. at EJ Thomas He went to Kent but was From Salem, Ohio he knew me from the Canton Jesus People center. And he played at our Parks and I went with him. Another Dude from Perry Heights Ohio had a Band called Barnstorm I had a chance to buy his Blue Metallic Venture's Bass. He was at my Mother in Laws Funeral he was a Friend to In Law's. (Allison's) Clayton.. I bought this guitar to emulate them Joe Walsh and Philip Keaggy. I had several acoustics like a Blonde Maple Guild Madeira Guitar 1972 But I wanted a les Paul My Uncle Vernon Stout had one my mom bought at the pawn in Canton Ohio. in 1962 it had to be an older model like a 57 or 58. My Les Paul was stolen from a Commune in 1975. I know the thief but lost the receipt and the Gattuso's Music on Cleveland Ave burnt down while I was in the Army in 1977. The dude stole it from himself two more times and it was in the local papers but not the color of the guitar he took it from his own car twice. Mine said standard on the cover the pick guard and trim was Cream colored and the humbuckers were wide . Now I am a Partially disabled Veteran and can't afford a Standard.
