Purchased back in 2001, this guitar has been an absolute gem. Its known as my "Work Horse" and has done well over 9000 shows and plays beautifully. It has had several fret grinds and replacements, knocks from touring and shit baggage handlers, repairs from falling and as you can see, it is well worn. However, this old girl hasn't let me down and I continue to use it every week for a minimum of seven shows.
