I tried an old Gibson 'The Paul' a really old one in a shop, it was way cool, it was a double cutaway version, stripped down to a natural wood finish it was really cheap to i think it was about £300, the really bad thing was, i played it and said i'll be back for it tomorrow he said ok and the man sold it to someone else before i arrived the next day, do you think he was mean? i think so but business is buisness as they say!
