'56 RI - very tempting

Went to a few guitar shops this weekend.... came across a '56 reissue goldtop with the P90s in it. It played great, and man it sounded great too. It was so tempting to hand over my Visa and bring her home with me..... still paying off my PRS tho. Years ago I never really liked goldtops, but lately they've really been growing on me. I don't have anything with P90s, so I'm thinking maybe sometime in my future I need to get a '56 RI goldtop.

So now my "guitars I have to buy next" list contains 2 different Gibsons.... a ES339 and now I need to get a '56 RIs.... Laughing

I appreciate the offer James, but I just can't swing another guitar at the moment.... since summer I bought my '63 Jaguar (the guitar, not the car Laughing

), my blue PRS, and a new laptop. My Visa is still SEVERAL months away from being paid off! Laughing

You're a great guy James, and I really do appreciate the offer, but don't hold up any deal on my account cause I am trying not to buy any guitars til I pay off all my current debts, which will be a while yet! Laughing

Yo 95strat! If'n you ever do decide to do a deal with Voodoo, you can rest assured that he is a man of his word, and his guitars are everything he says they are. I have bought several from him, and traded a few, and I've been a happy camper every time. And he always seems to have a few extra great guitars around, so when you do get the other stuff paid off, don't hesitate to revisit the subject with James. he'll do ya right. Cool

I can duplicate SA's recommendation. I have also bought guitars from James. He's a straight shooter, and has a big heart. Cool

(Sorry, Little Brother; I don't mean to ruin your reputation!) Wink

Man, I don't know what kind of disease James has, but I hope I don't catch it.... if I start selling off all my guitars, guys please put me out of my misery Razz

Can't wait to see pics of whatever you get next James! Very Happy
