My friend's Gibson Guitars.

[Kazz]

I have this buddy who I met in St Louis at a Tesla concert and Station Family Fund benefit....he brought a bunch of guitars with him that night...in 2005 and that is right after I started playing guitar again...He has one Gibson in particular that is pretty rare it is an Explorer made of Korina. Apparently there were only 4 built and only 2 of those are still in existence...and of course he has one.

I sent him a note to come join us over here as he is a highly seasoned guitar player. In the meantime he sent me some pictures of his 3 Gibson Electrics...I will wait for him to post his Gibson Acoustic....I think it is an J185 or 200.

Yikes! Who takes an LP on a camping trip?!

Those are nice though. Looking forward to meeting your bud.

 

[Brian Krashpad]

It was a very upscale camping trip . I um... he actually brought 2 LP's with him . The other was a Goldtop ...

just sayin

I'm hoping they were kept somewhere climate-controlled or at least that you had mild weather.

 

[Kazz]

It was August...so no the weather in Steeleville Missouri was no mild....and there were a bunch of inebriated fools playing around on those les pauls late at night Myself included.

Thanks for joining us over here Rick....your talent will be muchly appreciated

Wow, I feel good when I have more than 1 case of beer to take camping.

Sweeeet. :drool:

 

[Kazz]

We probably had 10 cases of beer....and I lost count of the bottles of Crown Royal and Absolute.
