Lets see those road warriors! (1980-1991)

Post by Arpeggio »

I thought it would be cool to share pics of road worn G&L's. Honest play wear preferred but relics welcome! Lets see those road warriors and bedroom beaters!

It was overcast yesterday and I haven't taken a day off in some time so rather than post the same pics I posted before I made a quick little video.
My Asat was my "number one" when I was young and in a band and it has plenty of natural wear- it was also kind of abused so it has lots of dents and dings too.
Video was a rush job but....here it is.
Cheers, Eric

That is awesome, Eric! Looooove the natural wear! I remember the days when I owned 1 or 2 guitars and played the hell out of them. You basically bought new or something from the local paper. I never imagined buying something without playing it first. Since the internet I'm as guilty as most and have succumbed to the spoils of buying/selling countless guitars, never relying on just one for too long. Mine are in a state of constant rotation.

Sometimes when I play my newer guitars I get a little bummed that they will probably never see enough use to develop natural wear (except for maybe fret wear)- now that I'm in my fifties and not in a band.
Maybe that's a good reason to get a nitro G&L; they do seem to show age faster.
