Guitar that you have actually HELD and STRUMMED that....

Made you feel warm and fuzzy? A recent Pawn Stars episode had a guy bring in a 38' Gibson that had the expert a little excited. For me it is only your standard (but still awesome) Guitar Center acoustic that someone forgot to put up too high for a moron like me to pollute with incompetence. Basically your average $3000 Martin or Taylor. And once a Gibson that was about $4900. What about you?

    I have been trying to teach myself guitar for a few years now. I know roughly 8 chords, and have no business owning a 12-string. That said, I found this at gc. Picked it up and strummed the handful of chords I know. It sounded so beautiful I couldn't get it out of my mind the whole next day. Went back and picked it up, so happy I did.

    Hope I can get it to sound like this eventually

    All of mine have made me feel that way at one time or another but the one that made me CRY by just playing it was my fiance's dad's Gibson L5. SRV played the same guitar when he met her dad at a conference. A bunch of other famous guitarists have played it but knowing SRV played this sent chills through my body and tears to my eyes. Sadly the talent didn't transfer to me.

    The father of a friend of mine owns an older Gibson dreadnaught, I think it's an early-70s J-50.
    That guitar can give me chills just strumming on it. I've played nice guitars over the years, but
    that single guitar has [ [ [ [ T O N E ] ] ] ].
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    Used to be any time I touched a Les Paul. Now that I own a Les Paul, it's any time I get my hands on a Randy Rhoads.
