    Guitarists and all,

    I have loved and lost many times in my life. I am sort of a psycho magnet. If I had a choice of getting any of the women that I have had relationships with back, or my first guitar, guess which it would be? One hint, it was a Flameglow Rickenbacker solid body twelve string with toaster pickups.

    Another hint: It was vintage 1967 and in cherry condition (unlike the women that I mentioned).

    Oomp,

    I am about to have an orgasm - does the Gretsch have a Bigsby?

    My first was a Gibson SG custom with a rare Gibson tremelo. Even more rare was this model did not have the standard pick guard. It had one that resembled the Les Paul. I sold it in the 80's because it "looked like it came out of the 70's". AHHHHHHHHHH! I would give anything to get that back

    For all of you Gibson guys,

    My dream is to get ahold of FZ's old SG Custom with a Bigsby in Mahogany.

    Before I got my first guitar (the Rick), my cousin bought a Gretsch Country Gentleman. I do have a fondness for them too.

    although I loved that SG, I haven't played a Gibson since then that I liked. It's been for the most part, Fender strats with a few Ibanez's thrown in the mix. I bought a gold strat a few years back, (anniversary model) and it's just perfect
