Gswitz 225 Posted March 17, 2019 This happens to people. In Colorado, people would leave their beautiful instruments in the car at an open Mic and bring it in late... At midnight... Freezing... Pop open the case by the fire... https://www.google.com/amp/s/worldmusicsupply.wordpress.com/2016/01/13/winter-weather-and-your-guitar-and-its-finish/amp/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grem 1,084 Posted March 17, 2019 I would wait Bill. That was a great help they gave with that message. And like Hidden is saying, it may have been exposed to tremendous changes if it went by air. Just talk a walk around the block..... a few times!! : ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those of you folks that reside in the Chicagoland area will know about Rolling Stone Music Store in Norridge, IL. Got most of my records from them.

57Gregy 68 Posted March 18, 2019 That's a real beauty, Bill, and I think you're richer for owning it. When I was a teenager, I didn't know anything about guitars. We played what we had; Framuses, Teiscos, Tru-Tones. In 1972, we rotated Stateside and lived at my grandmother's house for a few months. My oldest brother had left a bunch of music magazines there from when he lived there. One was a Guitar Player magazine and on the back was a Gibson ad showing a white LP and a black LP facing opposite directions. I fell in love with the Les Paul from that photo. The shape, I think, is the most beautiful guitar form ever conceived. It wasn't until '78 that I got to buy one, thanks to the layaway program at Professional Music in Raleigh. It was a black on blond 1955 reissue with P90s. Alas, I had to trade it in for a bass rig in '80. I currently own an Epiphone LP, which plays and sounds great, But some day, some way, I'm going to get a "real" Les Paul. Congratulations, and happy playing! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bayoubill 285 Posted March 18, 2019 Thanks so very much everyone for the kind words and encouragement! This guitar sounds better than I imagined it would! Absolutely beautiful tone and so completely different from the Fenders in an ACDC way. Wow I LOVE HER! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
