My second one.
It took me 15 years to eventually be able to buy another. I had actually wanted one for a while, but didn't feel like I could justify spending that much money on a guitar.
I tried buying a much cheaper Ibanez instead, didn't work out, had to sell it and get this anyway.
This was my first Maple top one, got it at Gelb Music in Redwood City. I thought it was expensive at the time, but it seems cheap compared to what they go for now
It's an 06 Custom 22 with a "10" top, never really thought it was a 10, personally. Has a black painted back, which I'm not into these days. Actually probably my least favorite at the moment, but it gave me a special appreciation for 22 fret stop tailpiece models.
I made this copper backplate and put it on, thinking it would help with the noise .. it didn't really, but I left it on anyway.
I really like the non-outline birds they used to put on the instruments.
I really should have waited for better light.
