deepblue Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I went into L&M Burlington tonight to order my Charvel. While there I witnessed a man pay cash for a Custom shop black beauty w/bigsby....no big deal? it was for his 11 year old daughter....This is the Gods honest truth. Hes bought her a new guitar every month for the past 3 months. Last month is was a Custom shop SG. She was with him, trying them out. I couldnt believe it.

Murph Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I bought my daughter a new '08 Les Paul Studio (Fireburst) for her 9th birthday last Dec. She has been playing a 1/2 sized fiddle since she was 5. She took fiddle/vocal/and piano lessons for 2 years. Rhonda Vincent, Hunter Berry, Josh Williams, and Charlie Daniels signed her fiddle, and handed her his bow (used on that song) at a concert in 2007. I have no problem with that. I'll buy my kid anything I want, at any time. Good for them. Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Murph theres no point in getting mad when you cant fix it. Dude. I'm not mad. I'm depressed. I kind of thought "your" generation would take care of "my" generation, like it's always been done. But since you can't read, or write, or build anything, or grow anything we can eat, I'm thinking you are pretty much useless. What do you do for a living? Curious? Murph.

I've seen people though who will buy their child, who's a musical virgin, a top oft the line guitar just because they are rich and they can. I guess thats cool but they should just buy a Parker or something, they are super expensive. Save the Gibsons for the artists. I know a kid who can't even play power chords in time and his dad bought him a LP Custom. He also has a custom shop strat and a very good condition S-1. People should earn what they get, especially if its something as nice as a Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepblue Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 It's his money. What's the problem? Slight overkill dont you think? She was barely making standard D to A chord changes. and....3 guitars in 3 months?...he made sure we all heard him too. I saw the wad of cash, so I know he was serious.

G u e s t Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Murph - sometimes you hit the nail on the head. .....since you can't read, or write, or build anything, or grow anything we can eat..... I'd never thought of it that way, but when I peer through myopic eyes at the punks spitting at the bus driver and destroying the skateboard park we built for them, I can see what you mean. Depressing. When I put this case to a gang of dissolute teenage reprobates the other day, they told me that my generation had all the fun back in the day (with the big cars and the drug taking and the sex and rock and stuff) and had left them a planet sized waste-ground as a legacy. Now, they said, was payback time, and all the old wrinklies should be put down to make way for the party. Depressing. But I do like my Telecaster - so we don't agree on everything :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
