Keep the watches, I don't need to be on time. Besides, if it don't gots a fob it don't get a ride on 'dis slob.
Now that guitar my friend. I hate you more than EVER! Mojo in spades! I regret the days in the last few years where they became unobtainum for me. I admire those beasts that used to adorn every guitar shop wall for peanuts. I want one badly, but must do without. Play that one extra long for me. Damn that's purty!

It looks well loved and it must be a good one because Uncle Brazzy played the heck out of it. Very cool... :salude

Awesome Goldtop! A lot going on with this one Charlie!! The insane checking in both directions, flame on the horn and some of the most awesome arm where I've seen!!! Wow I love Goldtops like this! Thank you for sharing the guitar and the story!

Very cool! A co-worker of mine sent an e-mail around to our office guitar group alias (I think it was his Uncle who was selling it). Funny that it ended up with you Charlie - Enjoy!

Is a great story and looks like a wonderful and well-played gt. I am sure it has some stories to tell and even more to make. Congrats Charlie!

Very nice! Great tone & playing. Love the slow vibrato, kinda Mick Ralph-ish. What amp were you using that night?
