Too-many-strats Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Bought a 1978 SG for $500 with the chainsaw case & got a 1980 Firebrand Les Paul last month. Owned a 1992 Les Paul Standard that was black but lost it when I lost my job year ago yesterday. I say I lost it; truth was I pawned it to try to save my house. Wound up selling that in March (after buying it in 1991). I bought the SG with money from the sell of the house; it's got Diamrzio DP100's in it. Bought the Les Paul last month and am putting it together this week. Bought 2 Dimarzio X2N's from different sellers & am just waiting for #2 to ship. Own 19 strats, a '66 Jaguar, 2 Teles, & a '66 Mustang. Joined the forum today so I have a lot of catching up to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Sorry about the rough road! Sounds like you're coping well. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too-many-strats Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Thanks dude. Everbody said "Sell some of your guitars & pay the house off!" Guess I could have but I been collecting for 31 years & I couldn't sell my kids. It's been hard enough pawning some when times got tough BUT I generally go back for 'em. I've only lost 9 total (a Kramer Ferrington acoustic electric, a '79 Mustang bass, 2 Charvel 2B basses, a Roland G77 bass, a Roland G707, '92 Les Paul Standard, a 60 sumthing Hagstrom bass, & a 70 sumthing Hagstrom fiberglass bass). Had 2 guitars stolen in '79 (a '64 Mustang & a '70 Yamaha G70 (??) bass). You just gotta draw the line sumwhere & I said "No more; this is where I make my stand". Still have the guitars & peace of mind. By the way, I also own a 1982 Steinberger L2 bass (graphite 1 piece I call my "recycled bowing ball") so I guess I qualify as a Gibson man.

GUITARSAREUS Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi everyone, new today. Does anyone have both models of the FIREBRAND SG? '79-'80-'81. Have the LP and SG, waiting on the 335-ES to come. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too-many-strats Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 No just the Firebrand LP. Got the Dimarzio X2N in yesterday & roomate didn't tell me til I came in from working 10 hours today (yeah, yeah, yeah si it's Sunday...somebody's gotta feed all these guitars I own). If I run across one (or hear about one), I'll give you a shout. I'm the master of low ball deals. Bought a 1980 Strat for $69.99 back in 2000; then got a 1979 Strat HARDTAIL for $119.00 4 years ago. The Les Paul Standard I pawned & lost last year I got for $299.99 (& put it in a one week layaway). Got more guitars than time or money just waiting on that Kubicki Factor for $319.99 that god's got in store for me. LOL!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
