I have a new guitar coming... anybody want to guess this time?

Post by Larry Mal » Mon Jan 29, 2018 7:48 am

It always takes this forum like three guesses and hints to find out what I've got, but this one might be slightly more of a challenge. Probably close to the last time we'll do this since I've kind of saturated myself on guitars at this point.

So, this can be hint #1: It's not a Gibson Firebird, but like the Gibson Firebird, it's considered a blues guitar, which means that when I look at Youtube videos about it I have to sit through some insufferable bullshit.

Is it black with a white pickguard, by any chance?

No, those are cool, finally. Or maybe they always were. I thought they were lame in the 90's (the Nighthawk anyway), but now I'd like one. Maybe I think they are cool in an ironic way.

No, it's not a Gibson at all, believe it or not. Although it almost was, Gibson makes a competing product that tempted me up until the end.

It is black, more or less, with no pickguard on it whatsoever.

No, not a V, not a Gibson this time. I guess I really like Gibsons since I buy them all the time now, but this isn't one of them.

As it turns out, it's not, although it looks enough like one that it fooled me on your Facebook post!
