So I thought I was through within Gibson after the recent rash of bad publicity and QC...and I need yet another guitar like a boil on my ass,
but after arriving back at my South Beach crib I needed to take my @Black Bitch Indie LP (thanks again tony) for a fresh setup, so yesterday I went to a relatively new place ,
www.waltgracevintage.com , in Wynwood, a trendy Miami hood, where I had heard the luthier was ace...they started as a vintage-only purveyor of cars and guitars (some amazing vehicles there)
and moved into a larger space recently and expanded into new gear as well, and saw this baby up there ....I have lusted in my heart for a genuine 50s goldtop since my 2 high school guitar idols (RIP-they both ODd young ) sported them in 1968..but I hadnt til now bonded with one at first play.....but I do believe I found my new #1..
she’s a brand new 2019 Custom Shop VOS 57, is a marked improvement over recent years IMO, weighs a reasonable 9.1 lb, plays like butter, and purrs and roars. Merry Christmas or whatever you celebrate to all, I got my gift, hope you get yours.
