I played a '81 Gibson Flying V2 for twelve years and it was the most versatile guitar I've ever owned... that one would be a keeper if I hadn't given to my son, who sold it in a pawn shop in Seattle. I had a '52 reissue MIJ Fender Esquire for about seven years... hot little axe for only having one pick-up. I sold that one in a pawn shop in Bozeman, MT. The best ones always seem to get away. I have a Chandler Strat Copy I bought new in Salinas, CA which has been my main axe for fifteen years now... EMG pickups... it can do just about everything.
