davidl Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 There's quite a few beautiful guitars I'll keep forever but if I could only take one it would be this Cocobolo 000 - It's the first guitar I ever built. Great job on the build. First one? How are the subsequent ones? I hope to take a course on building one day. There is a luthier locally who teaches. The course is $4000 Canadian for a four week course. 8 hours a day. He has classes 3 or 4 times a year and there is a waiting list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidl Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Charlie Brown, Aren't you glad you hung onto that one? DaveinSpain, Great job. I bet that gold leaf was a challenge. My father in laws 1927 fire truck has tons of gold leaf work on her. I tried playing with the gold and failed miserably. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the guitar to a professional who works with gold leaf to do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 What guitar would you never part with? Gibson or otherwise David - Great idea for a thread. I'm really enjoying these posts. Lots of beautiful guitars, but my favorite story - Charlie Brown - What a great gift & keepsake from your mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

46 and 2 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 This one: My very first "electric" guitar, purchased new, by my Mom, for my 14th birthday, in 1964! 1964 "L" series Strat. CB wow very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Actually it would be very hard to part with any of my guitars.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Actually it would be very hard to part with any of my guitars.... Yeah, I feel the same way, really. My Strat, because of who gave it to me, and it being my very first "electric," is my sentimental favorite, though. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Of all the basses Gibson or not, this one has it all. Nice grain in the body, and a sound that says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I don't generally have emotional attachments to them. However, as my wife's father asked me on his death bed to take good care of this Les Paul (and his daughter) I guess I'm stuck with it (and her too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I am going to reveal myself as an old-school sentimentalist here... My SG Special Faded. I love it dearly because: 1) My parents helped me pay for it. 2) It always brings the widest of smiles to my face. 3) It is a great guitar. 4) I feel like, more than any other item I have ever owned, it is "mine." I worked hard to get it, and then I've worked my sweat and loving touch into every inch on the neck. When I got rejected from Hamilton College and nearly had a nervous breakdown (ridiculous-but-true story) it cheered me up. When I chipped the headstock the first time, I was nearly in tears over it. I've played it with passion and desperate intensity--no matter how limited a player I am (and I am very limited--trust me) I have given that instrument all of the respect I can possibly give it. 5) I'm without it in college now, and I miss it more than I miss my mother. 6) When I play it, it's a part of me--it's the best part of me: my guitar. I could part with any of my other instruments (with varying degrees of trepidation, because to an extent they all mean something to me) but I could never let go of my SG. Call it silly, but that's how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Tman... You don't look that bad - at least compared to some shots I've had of me under certain stage lighting. XDemonknight Yeah, I hear that. Take care of the guitar. I do hope you have something to play on a regular basis, though... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
