I was looking around for a reputable Gibson dealer and came across Center City Music in San Diego. Saul was a great guy and gave me a great price on it. It was only in the store for no more than 3 days when I purchased it. He shipped it overnight to me and when I opened it up and I could smell the nitrocellulose lacquer on it (nothing else quite like it
).
She's my main player and I call her "Sharon" (my gf actually contributed to that :laugh2: ). The neck gives great jazz, fusion and blues tones, the middle position gets warm and full with a sparkly and complex high end and the bridge crunches and sustains like nobody's business.
She just came back from the repair shop. I have to give huge props to Chris at East Coast Music Mall. He did some wonderful upgrades for me. The stock button tuners were terrible so they got torn out and fresh chrome Sperzels were put in. I lucked out and already had the lightweight aluminum wraparound historic tailpiece on my Gibby so all Chris had to add was the locking Tone Pro's tuning studs. He also gave it an amazing setup (it's intonated almost flawless, which is unheard of for a wraparound bridge) and he managed to salvage the screwed up nut from Gibson. She now stays perfectly in tune (even after being in a case overnight) and she sustains better than ever!
