Hal from Memphis..
« on: December 31, 2013, 09:20:08 AM »
I should have gotten on here years ago.....

I am the proud owner on a Cedar/mahogany GC from the original run of 250. I also have a newer spruce/koa GC and a Baby.

These guitars see a lot of action. I run a church band, play as hired gun for a couple of churches, play in a cover band, and play acoustic gigs. Oh and I have a real job too...

I hang out at the TDPRI as well. Let's talk guitars!

Welcome Hal. Sounds like we'll learn a thing or two from you, with your background. I also have a cedar/hog GC and love it! Your spruce/koa GC sounds nice too. Happy to have you around.
