137. Epiphone Wilshire Exclusive: I got this because it’s the closest thing to a Crestwood I’ll ever get!?!? Well, it would’ve been, but the neck was cracked! It was a tiny crack, but this was brand new at $249! I just needs my money back! Fuck that!
141. 1985 Rickenbacker 620/12 Mapleglo: Inspiration from Fred 'Sonic' Smith got me to get this guitar. I had originally tried to order this guitar from Musiciansfriend, but they were backordered and it just all seemed to be a big lie. So I went to GC and saw the Rick they had told me about and it just so happen to be the exact same guitar, just it was a 1985 instead of '86 and a 620 instead of a 640 which ain't even a model number for Rics. So of course, I wanted at least play the thing. It sounded really cool. I was only gonna get the fucker if I could get some finances for it and I was able to. So now I have the git! It's very cool! I'm happy with it. At first, I wasn't gettin' a case for it, and the mgr found the original case for it in the back. I just don't know why the fuck guitar stores are so hard up for guitar cases! What the fuck!??!?!?! I also got the fucker to gimme a set of strings and he went down on the price of the guitar from $1450 to $1300, so that was cool! But the tax brought it back up! Oh wells! I'll be payin' this fucker off in 6 months for the interest free! My first guitar for 2007!
138. Wolf M-16 guitar: I’ve had my eye on this guitar for quite some time. I’d seen it in this guitar store/pawn shop when I first moved out to Cali! I thought it was cool. It’s kinda set up like a tele. I remember about 10 years ago, I wanted this Hondo gun guitar, but I didn’t have $450 and it didn’t have pick-ups in it. But nonetheless, it was cool! I’ve always thought they were cool. So, my opportunity came 10 years later at $200 bucks! It’s made in Korea. It’s black and it’s pretty cool for what it is. I had originally came into the store to get the Wolf Ric copy, but after inspecting it and playing, I’d made the decision to get the M-16. It’s a bolt-on neck, but it seems well built for what it is. The ric just seemed like it was a set neck, it would just break very easily! And the ric was $350. I really didn’t wanna spend that much on a copy! I would spend that much on an Epi or something, but not that much on an unknown copy!
This M-16 guitar is a little hard to play because it has no body to it to rest your hand. I think that’s a drawback to it. As well as the volume and tone knobs on the pistol grip. That set-up is like that of a strat. And there’s no toggle switch, so that gets kinda confusing. It sounds alright! Nothing too spectacular.
143. 2006 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop 1956 reissue with P90's: Just a cool guitar! I've always wanted a Goldtop and this was my opportunity and I took it. I traded up the Epiphone Olympic and the Rickenbacker 620. I had to! I wanted to! And I did! My first Gibson Goldtop! Probably not the last! I wanna get the Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop with mini-humbuckers! Soon!
142. 2007 Gibson Melody Maker worn white reissue: I’d seen this guitar on Musicians Friend site and wasn’t sure when it would be available. Well, it was and I decided to order it with free shipping and no tax. Not bad for $349. Came with papers and original box. Pretty damn cool. The finish which ain’t really a finish is white. It’s a January 12, 2007 guitar. I got it on March 15, 2007. Not bad. I’m probably gonna get a white coffin case for it. I think this will be the new Bonephone.
