Alnus Rubra
Loving nature’s wonders
This was kinda originated as a thread about what’s happened to music gear stuff and how communication about it changed since the internet became a thing...not really as a general nostalgia thread.
But...
In 1965 I went with my dad and brother to buy his new guitar, a ‘65 Gibson SG Special that I still have.
$250, including the Gibson case.
It’s relic’d the real-deal way, by being old, used, modded, and probably a little bit abused for 54 years. This pic was taken a couple of years ago.
When I see modern fake relics with no real history...
Yeah my true relic is 30 years younger than yours, but all the battle scars are real.
Maybe they should be known as “real-ics”!
