Topic: g'day

from Perth,  Western  Australia.  I am a 55 yo lefty with a love for things beginning with G. Guitars of the Gibson & Guild families in particular.

Being a lefty and not overly cashed up i get what I can in terms of my beloved guitars. So far these include

2006 Gibson Les Paul R8 in honey burst.
1985 Gibson ES335 Dot in blonde.
1978 Fender Stratocaster.
1990 Fender Telecaster.
1989 Guild JF65-12
1993 Guild JF30

And a few other bits n bobs.

I only recently discovered JB and have fast become a fan. He has a mastery of the blues that few  these days could match.

Thanks for having me and i look forward to chatting and reading.

Rich.

Re: g'day

Cheers, an update, I sold the Strat. Not much of a fan after all but it was probably just that guitar.

Replaced with a 1979 Les Paul Deluxe.

Do you find it difficult tracking down vintage lefties Rich?

Re: g'day

Hi Jim, no, well I do in Australia, plus like all else here they are way over priced. I have had great success from Norm's Rare Guitars, 43 so far have come from there, but generally they all come from the US.

It's as much a waiting game as anything else.

Cheers
