RE: Gibson Guitars, the end of an era

in #music7 years ago

The guitarist from the band I was in for many years played a Gibson SG for a long time, it was always his favorite guitar. He had a vintage Les Paul Jr for a while but ended up selling it because I guess he didn't like the sound or something.
Being a bass player, the only Gibson that I was interested in was the EB-0, which even used was expensive and hard to find at the time. I bought a Gibson Q-80 back in the mid 1980s and played that thing for a long time, but it's too heavy for my back now, and I need to get the action worked on. Almost all of the Gibsons are too heavy for me, except the SG these days.
On the good side, I just bought a uses Fender Squire Strat for 120 bucks that plays nicely and sounds pretty good. It's actually easier to play than my Ibenez because it doesn't have that sharp edge on the body that digs into me when I play sitting down, which is most of the time. It might even improve my playing slightly. :-)
I still want a Gibson EB-0...

Ohhhh I want a Gibson EB-0 as well Amber... not even to go out and gig or anything like that, its more because its an important piece of history... and because of Jack... gotta get one in his honor...
