10 years of wear (goldtop content)

[zorglub!]

My old girl is looking sweet Julio!!!.... Some day I hope to give her a ride again if I can ever get to your end of the world.... How many years have you had it now?

My friend... hopefully you can reunite again soon for a ride... she misses your great playing!
I got the guitar from you in March 2008, so more than 8 years ago now... time flies, huh? :salude

There's nothing like the sight of a guitar that has been played and well played. Neither abused nor babied.

It doesn't even have to be a proper vintage guitar, you know... A 20+ years old one that has seen its share of action is an instrument that inspires respect.

A true thing of beauty you got there, Sir.

Many thanks, as you might guess I am also a fan of that type of guitars.

Well, I should say I am saving it for my kid... but actually I am not! :hee

In a few years he can add his own wear to it. :salude

Well aged, and your young enough that it will be gold less by the time your, well, you know. :bh

That guitar looks great Julio!
Glad to see it played as it deserves :salude

Aging takes time, unless you're this guy

He had that strat for 3 years by the time this pic was taken (1966)

Ouch, my ears are ringing just looking at this photo of the young crowd 1m away from Rory's stack

About how much playing caused that extra wear? How many hours / day, days/week, etc?

No idea, but I can tell you this is not my main guitar... :couch

What else could I ask for? Hopefully at least he does not sell it at a pawn shop... :ha
