Just Bought A Baker

[Camstone]

So, back in the late 70's early 80's, my #1 guitar was a 1974 Les Paul Custom 20th Anniversary in Alpine White that had faded to a really cool Ivory color. I sold it (along with all of my electrics, including a four-digit Hamer Sunburst and Standard) when I got married and started having kids. I have really missed that guitar, and now they sell for big money.

I found this 2011 Baker B3 on Reverb and was watching it. The seller dropped the price, and then I made him an offer which he accepted. 

I have never played a Baker, but I know, mostly from reading here, that they are high-quality builds. This one is hollow without a hole. Has a cedar top and a maple neck with an ebony board. Lollar PAFs.

This will be my first non-sunburst finished guitar that I have owned in 20 years.

Due to land here today. The pic is from the Reverb ad. This should scratch my old itch. I will let y'all know.

Looks like a late-70s Ibanez. I like it!
