The guitars of April

[veinbuster]

Yes, I'm bored. This is what you get.

Once upon a time, long, long ago there was a Guitar of the Month. It was fun. It was exciting. It gave you something to look forward to, and sometimes something to lust after. I'm pretty sure some of us have April guitars. You should share.

Here's one for your consideration.

This guitar followed a very simple formula: clean up the Dirty 100. I loved the tone of the Dirty 100 I had picked up in fall 2009. So much so, that it didn't seem wrong to have a spare.
Exactly the same composition, down to the inlays, but an eagle on the headstock.

And a shiny top.

I've played it most of the last week. Great guitar even if it is about as simple as Private Stock can get.

The music room wasn't too full back then, so it was right at home.

A couple of year later, this forum started. And some time after that Private Stock Friday started. Be warned, watching that thread can get expensive.

One Friday this showed up and Boogie knew it would cost me.

You've seen lots of them by now, but 6 years ago it was impossible to resist.

I do like koa and ebony.

DFD hooked me up with photos as soon as it hit the store. The rest of the guitar is pretty nice too.

How about a closer look at that wood.

So, I don't' even mind April showers. I've got my guitars for the month.

Does my PS Calendar count as my Guitar of the month club entry?

I got nothing. Actually, I might, but I am far too lazy to drive a half mile to the storage unit and check cases for build dates!

We’re bored too. That’s why we need more special feature articles like these! There’s simply not enough NGDs and Fridays. Nice one!

+1 on that! Gorgeous.
