shit was epic. didn't even scratch the surface in terms of playing all the shit i wanted. needless to say i left empty handed, other than the knowledge that i am now in pursuit of a coronado.
I WILL LET THE PICS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
Custom Shop '62 Jazzmaster -
► Show Spoiler
Orange Tiny Terror Combo - I did not know these exist. Cool.
Gibson Slide with huge ass pank P90 - could not even touch it.
Tele with cool paint -
wall o' vintage sunburst -
Jag with teh maplez and black blocks (vintage) - %ghey%
Dueling Coro's - XII & 6 strings - i played the VI and i have now found out what i've been missing. i will have one, as i can look past the blocks for such a nice playing guitar.
Wall o' Jazzmasters - Love the scumburst with the gold guard.
Martin jazzboxes -
FUCKING STARCASTER!
Bad ass dan armstrong bass -
Teisco bass -
Fender VI -
Mandocasters -
Kalamazoo EB type thang -
'68 Gibson Firebird I - probably my favorite guitar that i didn't play.
'28 Gibson Archtop -
MicroFrets Something-or-Other -
Charvel -
Fucking Gross -
Some awesome thing with the brand scratched off the headstock - note bronco style knobs on the weird bridge plate ??
LEGIT WHITE FALCON!!!! THEY WOULDN'T LET ME PLAY IT BECAUSE I LOOKED POOR! -
ugly ass tele -
WALL OF SG's!!! piss, they had three white ones. fuck -

lulz. few problems with this. i was only there for a half hour. i asked to play the white falcon in the first 45 seconds of walking into the store and got denied. erik said you have to walk in and be cool, and i totally wasn't. i lost my shit. i wanted to play that guitar real hard. they basically told me i could play any of the other ones, so i played a few, and then started taking pictures like a mad man. then i took a huge dump in their awesome ritzy bathroom.

Hey Hot Rod, serious question, did you happen to notice any old Goya Rangemasters while you were there? I'm kinda sorta looking to buy one RIGHT AWAY even though I shouldn't be.

i didn't see a single goya guitar, good question though. they have some random shit, but not that random.

that is some serious pant shooter photography, hot rod. nice to see someone else with the same taste in firebird I's. probably the only firebird i'd like to own. gotta get me to chicago one day.

i wish i'd have documented all the pricing, but i'm thinking that '28 gibson was like $3000 (which i guess is high, but not for how nice, and how rare i'm certain it is).

one thing on my project list that i doubt i'll get to is an epiphone firebird studio with one of the pickups yanked, and painted either pelham or white. probably white.
