Members billythegoat Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 When I was 16 (1998 )I was a victim of some manufacturing/design flaws carried out by a well known Canadian bike company that was sold at a large very well known Canadian retailer. I am legally not allowed to mention the companies involved as part of our settlement agreement. I was okay other than nearly 200 stiches to keep this mug looking sexy! Always wear a helmet kids! Anyway I had took my settlement money, headed right to the guitar store and picked out a lovely black Gibson Les Paul Studio. A few years past and I fell in love with my Tele once again and grew tired of the LP. So I decided to trade it off to a friend for his acoustic. He was pretty much gigging fulltime and I figured he could get some use out of it. Plus I absolutely loved his acoustic. So earlier this week I got a message saying he just picked up a White Falcon and no longer needs the LP and wondered if I would like to trade back. I hadn't touched the acoustic for well over 6 months and I am primarily an electric player. Today was the day and we made the exchange. It has seen a bit of playing time. Loads of buckle rash and a once busted headstock but it plays like new! Actually a bit better, he fixed the faulty pickup selector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members billythegoat Posted January 20, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks!! Not quite as well known as Norco but close. Oh ya this thing oozes mojo now. It was practically new when I traded it to him. I was afraid to set it down anywhere but in the case. Now I am not too concerned I removed the pickguard and IMO it looks way better!
