Lazing On A Sunny Afternoon

With my $150,000 Gibson 1958 "Flying V" guitar. Betcha Dave wishes he hung on to that one!



The story behind it was, I used to play a Guild custom built guitar and the airline lost it on our first American tour in '64 or '65. In those days I used to only carry one guitar around and I had to get a replacement quick. I went into a store and they didn't have anything I liked. I saw this dusty old guitar case and I said 'What have you got in there?' he said 'Oh, that's just some silly old guitar.' He got it out and I bought it for about $60.
