Art Garcia
I was a gigging bassist way back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Also known as the 1980's and 1990's. Grown up life took me away from music in the mid 1990's.
A couple of years ago, my new bride told me that she always wanted to learn piano, but was discouraged by her parents at a young age. So I bought her a nice little Yamaha keyboard, and she loves it.
Shortly after that I turned 50 years-old, and decided that I wanted to learn something new and different, so I purchased a Gibson SGJ and started working at learning to play six string. Shortly afterwards, I spotted a used MIM Strat for sale cheap. It was a little bit road worn, so I fixed it up. Nice guitar when I need a strat sound, but I am developing a bit of arthritis in my hands, so it's a fight to play that axe for too long.
Fast forward almost two years.
I spotted a 2013 PRS SE Santana on sale. The price was right, so I took a chance and placed the order. This guitar plays so well, I haven't touched my Gibby since I've scored this SE.
I know that it sounds cheesy, but after just one week on this guitar, my playing has progressed a whole lot. The guitar is just so easy to play!
Looking forward to getting good enough at six string to play in public and not be embarrassed. Hah hah!
I can see myself becoming a PRS man for the rest of my life now.
