78’-81’ or so the quality of the Gibson’s went down a bit, from what I have heard. The Westbury’s were a high end Japanese guitar manufacturer that was trying to outdo the Gibson’s. They aren’t crazy special or anything, but it was a really nice guitar for a broke 14 year old. Always had a soft spot. Thing weighs about 12 pounds, sustain for weeks.

Just curious, what is nice about these? I have a Les Paul Classic that I don't play that much anymore but there's hardly anything about it that I wish was nicer.

You should send that to me for disposal.

I’m a cheap bastard.
wifey was ok with it (not that she really gives a crap) if it was roughly the same value as a guitar I am selling.
These go for $799-$999 new, so I am happy for someone’s castoff.

Haha, I just got that.

you funneh


This one was $305, someone’s ‘under the bed queen’ till he figured out he sucked, and didn’t like playing.
Hopefully the guitar doesn’t have a curse!
I suck, but I really like playing...

NORCAL is the hizzle
Got my girl a Taylor GS Mini in Mahogany for a combined birthday and Xmas present. She's super stoked. She's a new player and now she has something to do when I go smash the drums. We are both pretty terrible, so we figure it'll take at least a year before we can head out on our world tour. :headbang:

Also I now really want to pick up a bass guitar and amp to add to our noise making capabilities. It's probably because I have a copy of this laying around:
