I did hesitate to post that.......knowing you guys never pass up an opportunity to put down a Gibby. What can I say? Gibsons were always my first love in the electric department..........I DID just purchase the X700 a few months ago and have been hunting bluesbirds and starfires so maybe there is hope for me yet. I REALLY want to demo a Blues 90 alongside my Les Paul or Blues Hawk or L-6S..........
BluesDan said:Hi Michael.................That's what I'm afraid of......if I demo a Bluesbird or SF4 against some of my Gibbys, I may get Guild Electric Gas........which would be REALLY costly because I wouldn't be able to part with most of my Gibsons for sentimental reasons. I absolutely love my Guild x700, pretty close to an L5 at a third of the price. And I have seen pics of your SF-4, it is beautiful. It's funny, I found this forum while looking into purchasing a Guild 12-string and ended up with a bunch of Guild acoustics in a few months time. I keep hearing the raves about the starfires and bluesbirds and it's certainly gotten my attention!

Dan
BTW: My family is from Regensburg, I'm pretty sure that is pretty far South from you. We may be visiting in early 2009. That's the plan anyway. My father was born there. I've never been. Looking forward to it.

Jerry,
the last time I saw him play was in Newquay, about 4 years ago. A friend and I drove out for the concert, went to a pub for the traditional roast beef dinner with Yorkshire pudding (Ahh!), watched a couple of men come close to fisticuffs, then enjoyed an outstanding performance from the second row. He played all the songs I wanted to hear, and then some. What a show! Drove home high on the experience.
Send the lad over to the New World again, would you?
