Got the guitar back. Luthier straightened the neck, cleaned and oiled the fretboard, new strings, and set it up for $57.

I asked him to play it for me, which he did. Absolutely beautiful to hear a skilled player play. I now know what is possible from that instrument.

I told him the guitar was given to me, and he told me to count my blessings.

He told me the guitar plays and sounds as good as any Gibson he has played and is a bit more comfortable. Could be full of shite, but whatever.

Must be living right, was gifted a Marshall mg10 amp by the girlfriend. She knew I was excited to play, and surprised me. It isn't what I was looking to but, but not going to turn it down.

I will take bobs advice on amps when I'm ready to upgrade!

Honestly, that amp I'd all you need tonlearn. How I end up with hobbies, it's probably best to just buy the cheapest vs. buying moderately good to start. Because when I get the bug for something, I become obsessed and buy better. You'll be buying handwired, vintage tube amps soon enough .

He may have been. I got my first Gibson not long ago. If I had known how well they both play and sound, I likely would have invested in one a long time ago. Unless I just got very lucky to get a great model, it's very tough to put the Gibson down once you get in a groove on it.
