I'm not the envious type, but I'll make an exception here.

I'd choose to be reincarnated as Vince Gill.

It so weird how close this guitar is to Nicky. In addition to the color and similar wood, they even have the same checking pattern around the bridge pickup volume control knob.

Here's Vince's...

And here's Nicky's...

aesthetically that is so cool looking to me. Like the knob is moving at speed through space leaving check ripples behind it.

The guitar was originally owned by Nashville local Leonard Arnold. Here is a picture of him playing it back in 1983.:dude:

Here's Vince playing it at Leonard's memorial (killer picture taken by Nashville photographer legend Alan Messer).

In charlie's Nikki video with simo and Vince he says "I wish I would have pulled the trigger on one of these a long time ago". I guess he meant it!!!! Awesome guitar, awesome player = win!!!

I was a Vince Gill fan before it was cool. My father who knew almost NOTHING about a song, a guitar, a singer, a star, said, "That boy can sing and play." If he got my dad's attention, there was something there. Oh, and wifey has what has become a Christmas classic album that will go down through the ages with the likes of Bing and Cole, IMO.

Hell, I'd settle to come back as Charlie!:salude
