My first good guitar was a 1977 Gibson Flying V. I thought I was so cool, because Paul Stanley still used them before the Ibanez Iceman. My next cool guitar was a 1981 Gibson Les Paul Standard in tobacco sunburst. I moved on to wanting to be Ace Frehley then. Funny thing was, the owner of the guitar store offered me the Silver Anniversary Fender Strat, and I PASSED ON IT. That guitar would have bought me at least one MORE Les Paul today.
I still have both of those great guitars and nothing sounds better than they do.
