hmmm...just out of curiosity Jake, what's the deal with which song everybody plays first on their guitar? I for one could care less when I get a new one, which song is played on it...? :P I'm ususally too busy making sure I didn't get bamboozled with a bad guitar! :roll:
When I bought my 660/12, someone on the RIC Corporate forum asked me what was the first thing I played on it...lemme see if I can find it...

I'm just carrying on the tradition, Collin, not to mention taking an interest.

Yeah Jake, usually no thought goes into what I play first. Some mindless strumming and noodling, to make sure everything's kosher with the guitar. And I really just don't ever sit down and play "songs".

Very cool John, isn't that just like the one George Harrison bought in the states before The Beatles hit it big here? I know he had it refinished to a sort of Jet-Glo and only played it on a few early gigs in the UK.
Way to go man !
