Hi, I'm from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. I've had a long, circuitous route to my current and only guitar: a new Blues King which I use for jazz (believe it or not), and general fingerpicking (I confess to the occasional bit of blues, but not as much as my guitar choice would seem to indicate).
My Gibsons have included (in order):
1976 Les Paul Deluxe (it was 15 years old when I got it in school)
1998 Les Paul Studio (thank you previous girlfriend--you were always too good for me--ha)
2001 ES-135
1959 ES-125 (I still smack myself for letting that one go...jazz, slide, it had it all)
1937 Black Special #4 (L50)
2012 Blues King
Feel free to laugh at me for following a really predictable path: Led Zeppelin covers, to hmmm what about jazz, to realizing I will never be Barney Kessel, to finally giving in to the convenience, sparkle, and fun of acoustic music. Well. I guess I can still plug in my Blues King...heh.
Hmmm. Looking back over this history, I guess I'm a complete wanker. Ouch.
