    Anybody recognize this carbon fiber Les Paul case?

    I emailed for a quote for a Les Paul Case. Here's the response. Right around $1385 US. - 10%. Not including croatian VAT (Whatever that might be).

    1959 in 1979 Photo at a club!

    Here's a photo I took of a friends' 1959? in Niagara Falls in 1979 at the Aladdin Lounge. Wish I knew the serial number. I tried to paste in the URL but it said the file's too large. Anyone know the size limit of a jpeg?

    1966 Telecaster Regret!

    Here's a few photos of a 1966 Telecaster I owned in the 90's. It was my first Tele and wasn't quite into them at the time. 100% original with factory wide frets and the flamiest neck I've ever seen on an old Tele. This is one of only a couple guitars I regret selling. You can't keep them all...

    Where to order a Gibson Custom Shop SG?

    My cousin lives in Western New York and is having a hard time getting anyone to give him a price on a custom shop SG to his liking. Can anyone suggest a good Gibson Custom Shop Dealer. They don't have to be in the Western New York area either. I live in Arizona and found my best deal on a custom...
