Members HypnoToad Posted May 13, 2005 Members Share Posted May 13, 2005 Nice LP, never been an LP kind of guy but I like them black. Especially black with all gold hardware and binding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catalinagooseV2 Posted May 13, 2005 Members Share Posted May 13, 2005 Nice Gibby! Looks like you got a pretty good deal on it. How do you decide which of your 18 guitars you're going to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members celtic30 Posted May 13, 2005 Author Members Share Posted May 13, 2005 Thanks guys. Basically it depends on what I'm doing/playing for when I choose what guitars to play. I pretty much play them all about equally as ahrd as that is to imagine. Right now I have:2 acoustic 6 strings1 acoustic 12 string1 bass14 electricsIt's a bit of a problem, but oh well. Could be worse I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members celtic30 Posted May 13, 2005 Author Members Share Posted May 13, 2005 I was really happy with the price too since it was basically 100% mint and I got it for $1100. New ones now after the ridiculous Gibby price increases are like $2300 on MF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members celtic30 Posted May 13, 2005 Author Members Share Posted May 13, 2005 Originally posted by Kitarist Thats a great deal but you can also probably play great also Well, you know David Gilmour and Jimi Hendrix? I'm nowhere as good as those guys...haha. Nah, I'm by no means a great player at all. I'm just a hack that's been playing for 7 years or so and loves guitars and loves to play. Not much better than playing guitar with a live band full of your friends, having some drinks and talking to the ladies. I'm never gonna be a rockstar or make a living at it, but my weekend warrior status is perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dawn Posted May 13, 2005 Members Share Posted May 13, 2005 Man, you got a GREAT deal on that standard. I'm surprised you weren't outbid. I'm very very jealous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very very jealous I hate to admit it but I sniped it. I watched the entire auction and placed my bid with 25 seconds left. After it registered there was only abou 5-10 seconds for someone to respond and they didn't have time. It sucks but I find that's basically the only way to win popular eBay auctions anymore. I'm really pumped for it to get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I was a bit scared off by the heavy weight comments. But then I noticed that the guy had never weighed it and just "thought" it was heavy. We'll see once it gets here but I doubt a standard made in 96 weighs 10 or 11 pounds. I may be wrong, but I seriously doubt it. If it does though...hopefully it'll just make it sound chunkier and sustain more. Even though my back won't like it at gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discuss. This guitar is only 90 minutes away!Why don't you just pick it up yourself instead of trusting UPS to deliver it with no damage??? I sold a guitar last month to a guy in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. I live in Chicago, so Milwaukee is right in the middle. I drove to Brookfield, Wisconsin (just west of Milwaukee) to deliver it... meeting him half way. The drive was only 90 minutes from "da south side."I got a little Hyundai Elantra, so it cost me $8 in gas... a mere pittance. It saved the buyer a bunch on shipping charges and we eliminated the chance of shipping damage.To me, if a guitar is less than 2 hours away, I'll drive out to get it. If I'm selling a guitar, I'll drive up to 100 miles to deliver it. That's a gorgeous guitar you just bought. I wouldn't have let UPS or FedEx touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Members fretmonster Posted May 16, 2005 Members Share Posted May 16, 2005 Looks like you really plucked yourself a cherry with that one - a very special Paul in like new condition. You lucky bastaad!!! I'm surprised Will Ray didn't snipe you out for an Ebay Strategies article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
