Not because Jerry Garcia with the Grateful Dead played one just like it because, frankly I never really cared for them. Not because Greg Brown the guitar player for Cake played one either and I do like Cake very much. I just love the look, feel and nostalgia that comes with a guitar like this.

This beauty has a single single sharp cutaway like the Gibson Les Paul and it has two pickups. This one has a sweet cherry finish with bound top and back. Looks like an original Bigsby tailpiece (AKA Whammy Bar or Tremolo) along with a metal bridge to round things off.

Born in 1965 and probably prettier today than it was on it’s birthday. I know very few people who can say that. Sure hope I find the right one but this one would do nicely.
