I've lived all over the U.S.A. Never lived anywhere for long, my dad had a travelling bone.
I guess coming of age in the Mesa/Phoenix area.
Music was in me and I learned I could get paid to drink beer and play guitar.
Quit drinking around 2010.

Murph,
My Gibson j-45, Guild GAD jf-30, Washburn parlour, and Grenada ES-335 knock-off electric, were all sourced on kijiji, or Craigslist, and I've been happy with all of them.

Cool.
I found my Swamp Dog "slightly used on Reverb, then took a day trip ride to the town, and went into the (music) store with cash and never mentioned Reverb.
Offered less than the asking price, cash, tax included, and took it home.
Love those deals.

Piece of cake.
-
I've never bought a guitar off of Craigslist.
I'm sure there are bargains out there, though.
-
I've not played any of the modern "studio" versions, just traditional bodies.
I think Sal might have owned one/some. ?
-
Yep.
They really had "something".

You realize you can also "Make An Offer" at Sweetwater, Musicians Friend and these places.also.....
Not just the Mom and Pop stores.

It's early and I couldn't sleep, and this album came to mind.
These guys had such great timing and were so in sync at the time. It's just a pleasure to kick back with this stuff. I bought a mint "Shady Grove" cd off ebay last year for a gift, and ended up keeping it.

Scotty Stoneman quit the music biz to try and sober up. John Deacon pretty much quit after Freddie died. Ya gotta wonder how many great musicians become disillusioned with the business and move on and we never knew them.

Very nice. I've never owned an Ibanez.
Dig it.

So, obviously, we're not causing it.

Nope.
There was climate change before there was humans.
We just don't remember it...

Always has been.

Nice stage, monitors, everything from plugged in to an ETL, and a good time for all.
Dig it.

Seems right.
I'd be surprised by what various people define as "rich".....probably as varied as our coffee rigs!
Yep.
He always said you can easily tell a rich person from a poor person. The ones who "act" like they have money don't, and the ones who act like they're broke are the ones with the money.
It's still mostly true 50 years later.

Funny how the groupies keep getting older, yet we stay the same.
In our mind........

Back in my electric gigging days, I preferred speed knobs for the ease of rolling them up/down. My '79 SG has them, and I gigged that guitar a bunch with a Marshall 1/2, and also later a Fender Prosonic (Zinky), then the Boogie and or both. Another reason I liked the Studio Les Paul's, still have one in fact.
My reference was always "wide open" and I'd back down enough to keep a sound guy "honest".
The Gibson top hats took a tad more effort/thought, but I never looked at them for the numbers, I'd just "feel" my reference point.

Thanks for the kind words, all.
If you don't own a round-neck, I highly recommend it just for the fun factor.
That thing came stock with a bone nut and the bridge is maple. Tuners are crap, though.

You don't see that name every day.
Glad you're above ground.

Here's my security team. Boudreaux and Thibodeaux. Boudreaux is full blooded Catahoula, Thibodeaux is a husky/mutt.
They caught an intruder.

I would think Chicago Music Exchange would / could get them for you.
Perhaps they could even drop ship.??

Where were you raised.
in The Gibson Lounge

My first "performance" was around Clearwater Beach. The "Surfside" and "Big Mama's". I was still a kid, but could hold my own. Then we moved to Arizona and I gigged all over the Valley for many, many years before re-locating again. To Cajun country.
