    wow, gold top is beautiful

    on the other hand you could buy all the lefty burst SG's in existance, that would be cool.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    i think that's the same deluxe i've been looking at for a couple years now.

    i'm sure it's overpriced but it's one of the few i've seen that hasn't been hacked up.

    I love the GT's!

    Kinda off topic but did anyone watch Rockstar INXS? The houseband was just killer, much better then any of the contestants or INXS. Anyway, the lead guitarist probably busted out everything, but it was the GT with P90s that his tone was just on fire with, I think he had 6 Bogner stacks as well :)

    The GT is the tone machine, I would get a 54 top wrap and big old chunk neck.

    yeah I was thinking trade/sell the Old LP and get me a gretsch. Then get some really good P90's.


    The thing Ex has to deal with with the GT's is he's a lefty. There aren't many.

    This is what I want right now. Being more realistic though, the next guitar I'm getting is an American Strat.

    love the "gauranteed against faulty workmanship and materials" sticker, hmmm somehow i bet they dont make any statements like that on new les pauls these days. i saw a natural les paul in a shop a few months ago that was going for £1300 and the binding was cracking already. i was disgusted to say the least :(
    I'm not saying stupidity should be a capital offence, but what say we take the safety labels off everything and let nature run it's course?

    i have a feeling that my Delta Blues through that cab would be spectacular.

    and this LP faded i'd probably like *more* than my custom now. but the custom was a gift so i'll never part with it.

    actually, gibson's not bad for offering high end lefty stuff. it just costs a fortune now that it's primarily CS (the 335 for instance). and you may wait a while. i'll never be able to justify buying a new gibson. the SG standard being the only exception.

    mind you, i did drop a lot on my larivee OM-19 so maybe i'll be lucky again some day when the kid's out of the house or something.

    they're better than fender as far as number of models available lefty. strangely, gretsch, despite being fender, is pretty good too.

    This would be a good snag. It's a rare collection of 3 classics!

    I don't think they're lefty, though.
    Although, you should be able to crank out some tunes on that left one, Exhausted!

    As I get older, I'm becoming a simple man.
    Oh to push the little purple button for the rhythm section, then crank the little crank, and jam out! :D
