velorush Posted October 10, 2024 Posted October 10, 2024 When I was in my early teens Ace Frehley inspired me to ask for a guitar for Christmas. I was into all the rock and pop (and yes, disco) I could hear. Then, one night on Don Kirchner's Rock Concert, this video came on: The energy, the musicianship, the groove - all totally alien to what I'd seen (key word there) before. And that guitar! That was the coolest guitar I'd ever seen. I have always been a George Benson fan. Sometimes this was a frustrating experience as I'd buy a CD and wish he'd focus more on guitar rather than vocals (which he occasionally did), but I got it. At any rate, I saw this and thought some might find it interesting. I won't be a buyer, but I'll definitely look forward to gawking! Some amazing instruments in the background.
mtn cub Posted October 10, 2024 Posted October 10, 2024 velorush, Thanks for sharing this video... A great way to start my day out here on the west coast.....
django49 Posted October 10, 2024 Posted October 10, 2024 I am sure I mentioned before......I have had an original GB-10 for the better part of 4 decades. Might be the longest time for any guitar I still own. It is one great guitar and not going anywhere. My only regret is that I cannot buy more for what I paid for that one! Yep, I am NOT a candidate for paying the price for a collectible.....But fun to watch.

I would also say no one in their right mind would a pay a MIL+ for a guitar and then have it shipped.................certainly not these days. My Jazz HERO on guitar would be Tal Farlow and I wouldn't pay that much for one of his guitars even if I had the extra million to spare.
