  • Rising Sun RR serial Number Soloist goes home

    You can see a basic history HERE.



    Most of you who have been here a while may remember the length of time it took for me to get this back from GMW. Greg contacted me a few days ago asking if I would ever part with it. I knew the whole story with the guitar, including the period in the late 80's when Greg's band opened for Pantera on several occasions and he played this guitar. Possibly triggered by Dimebags death, maybe just because after 17-8 years of ownership he truely missed it, he decided he really missed her. Greg will have it back within the week. I too will miss it, but I am sure no where near as badly as Greg.

    I am inviting Greg to join the board. I think he will have fun here and he has alot to be proud of in terms of his past. Hopefully he will accept and come around from time to time to share with us some stories of his youth as a player in Dallas area bands in the 80's.

    Wow, cool story. It's a possibility that I have seen that one at the Melody Shop. I actually bought my first guitar there in the early 80's and used to hang around there some.

      very cool story Jim and I can imagine the original owner will really be thankful to get it back..kinda reminds me of Metalcops Charvel #1505 story, after getting her back from the resto, she went back to Mike, the original owner.

      I bet you find something cool for yourself Jim cause you are one hellofa guy.

        That's really cool. Of you letting him buy it back... and the fact that he knew where to find it. It always sucks to let one go you didn't want to. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

              Very classy, Jim. Good karma comes back around, so that probably just means you'll end up scoring something even cooler very soon. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

                      Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

                          I can't imagine getting rid of a guitar I owned for that long and had so much history on. It's great to see him get it back.
