Hello all. This is my first post. I just picked up a 98 chicago blue blueshawk at a flea market last Saturday for 250$ I barely seen it on the bottom shelf in a glass case. I was intrigued at first sight but, hesitant seeing the word Gibson figuring it would be out of my price range. Seen the price and immediately looked it up online. The cheapest one I seen was a red one for 850$. Unfortunately mine did not come with a hard case. It did come with a fairly padded gig bag. I'm definitely having a hard time tracking down a proper hardcase. Anyway I took it straight from the flea market to guitarcenter. Needless to say it drew a crowd very quickly. The guitar techs looked it over and over and... They offered me triple what I paid in cash. I brought my bh home and I am so glad I did. This thing makes me sound awesome and I'm supposed to be a drummer. I absolutely love my blueshawk. Finally the perfect guitar for my hands and style. All my guitarist friends are jealous lol
