Topic: New Guitar Day!

So I walk into a local Music Store to buy strings and there it is on the wall. An Epi JBLP. I never expected any to make it to Canada. I turned on my heel, went home, grabbed my Fender Super Sonic to trade, returned to store....YEAH BABY!!

Got it home and tuned it (still have to change strings and top wrap the bridge) . A/B'd it with my R7 and jeez it really holds it's own! Nice big neck, smokin' pups - my R7 has BBucker 1 & 2's and the 2/3's in th JBLP seem a tad hotter. I mean, you guys weren't kidding....I am so jacked for this guitar - I can't believe it's an Epi.

Too bad I got it 2 weeks too late or I would have had Joe sign it at the Meet and Greet in Toronto (he signed the bottom of my JB Fuzz  cool ).

I only wish they were numbered out of 1000 on the guitar itself...oh well.

Anyone else find one in a store?

It would have sucked if you said you went home to get the Fender to trade and it was gone.
