The Muse I Adorn

[RVA]

Might grab a Firebird Zero with my coronavirus cash

Try to do it at your local brick and mortar stores. They are suffering the most

You're always showing us the "bird"...

Bird is the WOrd

Never seen one at any shop locally. If its a Gibson it'll be $900 min around here. Pretty much only SG and LP at GC here and no mom and pops carry G or F.

What's really cool around here, where it's just very small cities and towns, that the local mom and pop guitar shop started carrying PRS guitars as of last year. And this year, due to Gibson's restructuring, they are carrying Gibson and Epiphone electrics and acoustics. They don't have to carry a whole bunch of them either. I would estimate that I saw about 10 Gibson and 10 Epiphone electrics. Except for the 2009 NAMM show, I haven't seen in person, a new Gibson or PRS guitar in over 30 years.

I have been self isolating from big music stores from the beginning.
Only been in a local small shop which had a very small stock, more acoustic, and a few used items I think were trade ins. and a used stuff store.

So happy to have guitar during this crazy time. This is Phoenix, a PRS P24 with 53/10 and peizo pickups. We shall rise baby. Rock on.

Yeah, not sure I'll be getting that FBZ now anyways since my wife's bookings have dropped off after next week. She is anticipating a full shutdown from the state soon anyways. Hopefully she won't catch COVID since she is a skin therapist and gets up close and personal with her clients.

Seems like we are having to hit the reset button on our lives every 8-10 years now and start all over from scratch.

Stay safe brother, and my best to your wife. Care givers are on the front lines and should be applauded
