I have GOT to stop going to Pawn Shops...

The place to discuss, post photos, video, and audio of the G&L products (US instruments, stomp boxes, etc.) produced after 1991, including the amps & gear we use with them.

Tim, you're obsessed with gear! You need to get another store!

Wow! The blue swirl finish and black hardware go together really nicely.

Cool swirl! I think I see Jesus on the front and Michelangelo's Creation on the back but it looks like God is passing David a... cell phone???

Great score Tim,

The Climax never reached status I thought it should have with the super strat gitars. Now you can pull the spandex out of the bottom drawer and resume your heavy metal revival tour! :shocked028:

All seriousness aside, that is one clean guitar for it's age and I love the maple board on it as well.

Rock on my friend!
Cya,
Sam

All kidding aside, it's a great looking guitar. The neck looks brand new. I have heard that one way to create that swirl is to lay down plastic wrap in the fresh paint - so no two guitars will ever be close to being the same. I'm no expert though - maybe Fred can give us a lesson?

Thanks for your continuing case of GAS Tim! :thumbup: Don't call the doctor.

Great score Tim, I have never seen one. Ginny has always told me to avoid guitar shops. It is rare to find anything of value around here anymore in pawn shops. They seem to be as high as e-bay and it is usually low end things priced high. You are lucky! -- Darwin
