Dave F Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I doubt if any of us can sway Sal. He will find something. Sal's had a lot of nice instruments. I'm trying to learn to let them go like him when I'm ready to try something else but haven't mastered it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 Thanks all, Dave’s right. I have had a ton of nice instruments, and have been through enough rabbit holes. I never graduated to the Authentic and Boutique round; I seemed to have no trouble finding lots of Standard type models to play with. Anyways, I’m going to take my time and wait for the right Gibson A to come along. I think maybe the power move is to go to Tennessee in the spring and see if I can’t play a few.
