  • NGD Day! San Dimas #1212 for Christmas!!!

    I had no idea! I still can't believe I got it! If you all remember I posted a link about "San Dimas Value Question" about this guitar. Get this, my wife and kids have had it since October 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!! My women know how to keep a secret! They took the key to the case, wrapped it in several boxes my Spidervalve combo box being the largest. Then once I opened the key they made me close my eyes while they brought out the case that was wrapped up. I ripped the paper off and just couldn't believe what I was seeing! I was shaking so bad that I couldn't use the key to open the case. My wife had to help me with it. When I opened up the case I thought I was going to cry! I tried to get this guitar for so many years and now I have it! More important then all that is the way I got it and who got it for me! The thought that the three of them put into this gift means more to me than I can express in words! Get this, my local dealer that had gotten it on trade was in on it as well! No wonder he wouldn't budge on the price for me! HA HA! That's because he didn't have it. My wife said they worked together on making it all happen. He gave her a good deal and played the part as far as I was concerned. I can't thank them all enough. I'm still speechless! It's got an ebony fretboard and an old Seymour Duncan pickup. I'm not for sure what model it is but it's the best sounding pickup I've heard! The neck is ssssssssooooooo comfortable! It's unfinished and oiled nicely. There's hardly any wear on the guitar what so ever! It came with the original case, hang tag and warranty card! It's got an old school floyd rose with the screw in type bar. Here's one pic with a link to a bunch more!

      Great christmas present and a cool story - lucky guy!

      Rare is not the same as valuable
      Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

        Oh man I love these guitars. That looks killer! A genuine SD with an OFR is a rare bird indeed.

              Sweet Christmas!

              That thing looks completely untouched - like a time-capsule. Congrats!

              And here we were trying to convince you to forget about that thing! Awesome!

              Why can't every "how much is this worth" end up like this?

                  Were you all able to open up the album with the other photos? When I opened it they weren't in there but were in my recently uploaded pics.

                  Thanks for all the kinda words everybody. This guitar means so much to me. It's my first real San Dimas anything. The others I have are reissues. It's also the only one I've ever found or saw locally in my area in all my years of playing except two Charvels my first guitar teacher had.

                  Nobody get any ideas! My wife isn't going anywhere! HA HA! This is the third guitar she's bought for me. She's a rare find!

                              That's a beauty for sure....and I know exactly what you mean about the necks on these....just like an old friend.

                              Congrats, that's the best gift I've seen this season!
