The last electric guitar that I bought was my MIJ Tele back in... 2006? Since then I really haven't had the urge or found anything I really liked. Last week I was in Guitar Center when I stumbled across this Gibson SG. It's called a 50's Tribute which struck me as odd since the SG didn't come out until '60 or '61. The back of the headstock is stamped PROTOTYPE below the serial number. No one could really tell me the history but it is a real Gibson. Eventually I'll get around to contacting them to find out the story. Anyways, I plugged her in and within 5 minutes I knew I had to have her, especially for what they were asking. My CFO was shocked that I wasn't calling about a uke.
Speaking of my CFO, she brought me a present this morning. She was cruising yard sales and found me this Goya G-13 classical. After cleaning her up and restringing her with some D'Addario hard tension classicals I've decided this one's a keeper. Solid spruce over solid mahogany and a rosewood fretboard.
Look at how pretty the mahogany is on back.
Beautiful checking.
