If you’re like me you’ve probably got a good little Gibson Guitar Of The Week wish list going on in the back of your head… you know––something like a Goldburst Les Paul with a Bigsby Vibrato and locking tuners… or maybe an ES-335 decked out in Amber, with dual P-90s and a Charlie Christian at [...]
