NGD: Gibson CS Explorer

[AtomicJeff]

My Dad passed away one week ago today. I lived with him full time and had been taking care of him for a number of years. He told me that when he got out of the hospital, he was going to buy me a new guitar, but he never made it back home. Gibson CS Explorer.
Thank you, Dad!

Sad that your dad passed away, now with your new guitar take time to make song for your dad or at least
take one special song that your dad liked and play with it and have good memories with that song.

Very nice guitar! I hope you get many many years of use out of it and think about your father each time you play it.
One day you can share stories about that guitar when you see him again.

Back in the 70's when I was barely out of high school my dad lent me $300 so I could buy a Micro-Frets Signature (the model Mark Farner played). Micro-Frets had declared bankruptcy and was clearing out their guitars. When I went to pay him back he told me to keep it. He died shortly after from bone marrow cancer. I always believed he knew he was sick when he bought me that guitar
