New to the board

Post by ShawnP »

Hey all,
Just figured I'd say hello, I'm new to the board, but not new to G&L. I haven't owned one in a few years, but I'm jumping back in today. I'm picking up a Never sold 1988 Superhawk that has been In The same small music store for the last 27 years. I'll post some pictures as soon as I get her home. It's gonna be a good day!

Welcome to the forum Shawn. Can't wait to see the pictures. Easiest way is with a photobucket account or something similar. :)

This thing is unlike any G&L I have ever owned. At one time I had both a '95 asat Classic and '95 legacy. This is an entirely different animal!

Stripped down, cleaned, lubed, new strings and full set up. She's truly amazing!

Can we ask how you found it, did you stumble over it by chance?,

I've actually known where it was for a few years now. It was in a small indie music store in Scituate MA. I always wanted it but never really entertained it assuming the owner of the store wanted more than I could afford. Every time I asked what he wanted, his reply was make an offer. Last weekend I asked again and he threw a $ and I was very surprised. Surprised enough that the decision was easy.
