My Mahogany Standard...

[kizanski]

I've had a few.  All gone now, of course.

 

This one started like this.

Now it looks like this.

Currently part of the Kizanski wing of @The Shark Collection.

 

"The Riff"
This one was a beast.

 

1997 Standard rescued from Canada for the price of $825 - shipped.

 

 

2006 Standard.
I honestly forgot that I had owned it.

 

Another 2006 Standard (which I also forgot that I had owned).

 

Extra credit:
1976 Gibson Explorer purchased form the original owner.
I was there when he bought it new in 1977 and wanted it for what seems like all of my life.
Funny thing once you achieve a goal. The object is no longer important.

Didn't expect this thread to get so deep, did you?
Now you have something to think about.

You're welcome.

Here's a long thread telling the whole story, if you have a couple of hours to spare.

Mahogany is the bomb, lots of nice guitars in this thread.

I recall an article years ago where PRS said there is nothing quite like a solid mahogany body with a glued-in neck. My first decent guitar was a Melody Maker. Also had a 1964 SG with Maestro Vibrato in the late 70s

Would "The Victim" qualify?

I'm a bit biased, but sure!
And I still have it!

I love how one thought can become the seed for a good read. 😎👍🏁❤️
