Okay this one is going to hurt me to tell the story and also show that being honest isn't always the best policy!
I was driven to work the other day and I saw a very interesting thing put out to the garbage a guitar case and you may say big deal but as I was driving by slowly I notice gibson on the case and the length was long enough to be a bass so here is the part about being too honest I did not want to stop in the guys drive way and also being a dumb a$$ not double park so I move a head a few cars till I could pull over in my rear mirror I see another car pull double park the guy jumps out his car runs over open the case pulls out a EB3 or EB0 looks at it puts back in the case into his car it goes and I am @#$%^ I kicked myself all the way to the office!
I have learn my lesson next time if this ever happens a again I am parking on the @#%$ lawn! |

Man I would have stopped the car in the street. What does this have to do with being honest? It's not dishonest to double park...
But, look at it this way. It was probably an Epi knockoff with a Gibson sticker on the case. Either that or it was total garbage. I mean, it was in the trash can, right? Who throws away something with value??? You probably would have thrown it away yourself when you got home... |

I had one of those and boy, do they suck.
Besides, just because it says "Gibson" on the case doesn't mean anything other than it says "Gibson" on the case. So take the unlucky feeling with a grain of salt. |

In Buffalo I bet I could count a dozen pianos/organs listed in the free section per week. All they want is someone to come take them. |
