Around '84 when I was in high school I needed to move from acoustic guitar to electric. You can't shred on an acoustic. I had $200 to spend and I really wanted a USA made guitar. So I went down to the local used guitar store and the only thing he had that I could afford was a 1961 Gibson SG Special. Old '60s Gibsons were dirt cheap then, especially SGs. Nobody wanted them. Anyway my friends with their imported pointy guitars were not impressed.

But who cares? I loved it. I Played that thing for 10 years and loved it but decided I needed a strat and sold the SG for about $250, thought I did okay. Then around two days later the vintage guitar market came into existence. Suddenly it was worth thousands. Sigh.

“You can’t shred on an acoustic”

Ever listen to much Flamenco? Shredders only wish...

LOL! Yeah, did a facebook live deal with a friend yesterday and we used nylon string acoustics. They DO NOT lend themselves to playing lead(even with a wah wah attached). Even my Takamine steel string acoustic is a little better but I did what I could.
