Well, yeah...that's kinda the point of the forum, ya know?Here's the genuine Gibson, I'll shoot some pics of mine if you are all interested!
Sorry, my mistake, it was actually Dean guitars, not Jackson that he was hooked up with. My memory is a bit sketchy after all these years. I don't forget some of the amazing guitars that went through that place though. One in particular was Ric Emmett's personal Framus Akkerman hollow body cherry sunburst electric guitar. As I recall it was given to Ric's brother as a gift but he was forced to sell it due to a divorce. I used to love to hear the behind the scenes stuff about guys like Eddie Van Halen, who showed up to a Kramer event at about 11:00 AM pissed to the gills. That store certainly holds a lot of fond memories for me. I got my parents to buy my first guitar there, a bad white Les Paul copy which I still have. I remember sitting in there for hours as a little kid, just practicing, because I didn't have a real guitar or amp at home. The guys there never made me feel uncomfortable or dissuaded in any way. Great memories.Barry wrote:Wow, the stories you hear in this forum are like taking a trip back in time.
