I'd like to introduce you to Fun Gus ("fungus"...get it?), my brand new, to me, 1955 Goldtop. Ole' Gus has been well loved as you can see. He sounds like a MILLION BUCKS!


Here's some pics:

Another great add to your collection of well loved guitars!:dude:

Looks a bit like some of the guitars that weathered Nashville a time back?:hmm

That came from Gary, right? The condition was listed as 'very good'.. :hee

Anyway, congrats with this one - it had your name written on it. :hank
