Good to hear. Congrats on your successful surgery.

The C-Spine was my 14th surgery and the second one performed by my neurosurgeon. He also did my back surgery in 2017. Everyone I have talked to in the medical community here say he’s the best one around. He also did my wife’s brain surgery back in 2011. Thankfully, she was been trouble-free since her surgery. My guitars: 2002 Gibson Les Paul Faded Special w/Humbuckers 2003 Gibson Les Paul Classic (496R/500T pickups) 2004 SG Supreme 2004 Gibson ES-335 Dot Reissue 2006 Gibson ‘67 SG Special Reissue w/P90s 2015 Ltd H-7 (7 string) 40th Anniversary Model (Super Strat body style) 2015 Ltd MH-100 (Super Strat body style). Won as a prize from ESP Guitars I also have two 4 string basses and a 6 string bass. The 6 string is my go-to.

Baby, Take Your Teeth Out - Frank Zappa

Yeah, I’m 6’6” with 37” long arms. I have both psoriatic and osteoarthritis in multiple joints, just not in my wrists, hands or fingers…yet anyway. I had limited use of both arms and hands (especially my left arm and hand) for over a year due to serious cervical spine issues. I was unable to move my fretting hand toward the nut of a guitar past the 7th fret, even playing off my left leg. Fortunately, the neck fusion surgery has been successful and I have almost 100% use of both arms and hands again. Good luck with your search for a nice V. I’ll be interested to hear about it.

Born To Be Wild

I concur from personal experience:

I started out playing seated with the guitar on my right thigh. I’m right-handed. However, I am very tall with long arms and found that my left arm was too constricted. So I quickly shifted to playing with the guitar on my left thigh like a classical player. So I always figured I could play a V seated pretty easily.

She Painted Up Her Face - Frank Zappa

I try to play all my guitars equally, but most of the time I play them seated. If I did start playing standing on a regular basis, I think I would develop a very close relationship with my two SGs or my 335. My two Ltd guitars, one of which is a 7 string, are both lighter than my LP Classic. Hell, even my Ibanez 6 string bass is lighter than my LP Classic. But you just can’t beat the Classic for face-melting tone. The reason I can’t see myself ever selling it. I always wanted a Flying V. Back in the day, I planned to buy a Gibson Faded V, but they stopped making them before I could “pull the trigger.” Now they are entirely too proud of them. Oh well. Perhaps some day I will own one. They are definitely unique.

If you have the coin, I’d get both. Can you ever have too many guitars? 😆

Very nice. Congrats.

Welcome aboard. Congrats on the LP. I lived in NC for a little over a year back in the 80s. Great state.

Happy New Year to all from the great state of Texas.

Welcome aboard. Sounds like you have a great selection of Gibson. I’m sure it won’t be long before you receive a request for pics.
