b-squared Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Here she is...I got her in '77 for $450--my Dad loaned me half, and I used my lawn mowing money for the rest. Pic I took right after buying it: Gigging with it a few years later, after I joined the Air Force: ...and I still have it today...set up Pete Townsend style (holds tuning a bit better)...I'm just a bit fatter...LOL.

jimmiJAMM Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Ahhh, the 70's! Awesome guitar, bro. Good move holding onto it all these years. Some have sold 'em only to regret it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G McBride Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Congratulations on managing to keep it for all of these year. Many of us have memories of a guitar like that we traded or sold for something else. Nice SG, I have a new SG Standard that I hope to pass on to a guitar picking grandson one day.

NeoConMan Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Nice piece indeed! I can imagine what a pill that was to swallow in 1977. $450 was alot of money!!! Just goes to prove what money well-spent is truly worth. Congrats. Didn't like the Maestro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbeeinflorida Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 b-squared, What a cool story and the pictures are awesome. I'm new to the SG world, I just ordered my first one on sunday, a Gibson SG Classic w/ P90's. I can't wait to get her, I played one at my local GC through a Fender deluxe reverb and WOW was I surprised and I love that fat neck. later. nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to prove what money well-spent is truly worth. Congrats. Didn't like the Maestro? The Maestro is in the case...holds tuning better without it. I still pull it out of the case for an occasional church gig. :D The was a full summer's lawn mowing money, plus what I had saved in the bank.
