Awesome.
Sound check on Saturday night was the first time I actually plugged it in. Played it for 75% of the set. It sings. Our rhythm guitarist couldn't make the gig, so I had even more room to fill with big chiming chords and harmonized riffs. Great feeling neck, just a tad head heavy, but I'll get used to that. The young jazz student in the funk band that opened for us said 'Sweet axe!' when I took it out of the case.
Two tiny little scratches by the tailpiece (string changing mishaps, I imagine) and strung Gibson style, but otherwise perfect. Way more maple than my 6, which is fairly amber. The seller said he had never played it outside his house, and it shows.
I'll get some pics soon.

Yup, sweet.

Congrats.

I agree. I have no idea how so many people are waiting a year or two (or more) for their guitars. I'd go crazy.

I think the last one really captures the difference in colour.

Congrats on the aquisition Greg,

BTW I had no idea you were a member of the G.O.A.T.S. Do you guys meet in a lodge and have a secret handshake and password?

Secret password? Naaaaaah.

Nice pair, Greg!

You need something in the middle to make it a sandwich, though!!

I agree Aitch. A 350 would look great in the middle.

My thoughts exactly Brian! A 350 would fit there very nicely. Very nice

Nice maple there Greg. Very nice set. Congrats!

Yeah, well...... if anybody spies a 350v63 MG for sale I'd like to know about it.

Sorry, new one. Wrong continent.

But, hey, same planet.

They make a lovely couple Greg.

I was never particularly fond of Mapleglo, but I'm liking it more and more every day.

Howard, not another 350 (it does look nice though !!!!). Are you after the full set ?????

Great looking pair of guitars you have there, fellow G.O.A.T.S.! I agree with aitch, slide a 350 in between them ,MG, of course!
BTW,no secret password, but dont mention the handshake, ok?

Congrats on your 12. Seems like a great deal too.

I spent week after week looking to get the right deal on a used MG 360-12 and finally gave up and ordered a new one. "Supposed" to be here first week of Nov. Can`t wait.

Best of luck w/ the guitar.
