My first and only. I can never love another ...
Model 2629 from 1979. Purchased new in 1980. $175.00 whsc from Valley Arts Guitars in Studio City (L.A.) *The shop is more historically significant than the guitar. Along with the original Guitar Center, probably the most famous shop in Los Angeles. https://www.google.com/search?q=valley+arts...280&bih=681 http://valleyarts.guitars/history/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_Arts_Guitar You can hear that axe on that first soundcloud track in my sig.

Far out. I'll bet that was less than half the price of an ES-335. |

Far out. I'll bet that was less than half the price of an ES-335. Oh yeah! A new 335 in 1980 was around $800 w/case. I would go to that shop (valley arts) every weekend and just look at this wall of 335s that they had hanging there. I wanted one SO badly. The 335 was super popular (in LA) at that time because all the session guys played them. The bottom line was ... I couldn't afford one. Not in a million years. One of the owner's of the shop (Al Carness) took pity on me or, he was just sick of me coming in every Saturday, staring at the guitar wall and sheepishly asking if I could play one. He showed me the Ibanez and said, "look, I know it doesn't say Gibson on the headstock but this is a great guitar. It's been here over a year and nobody wants it. $175 plus tax and it's all yours". Sold! to the long haired kid with the Dodgers t-shirt. This post has been edited by klasaine: Jan 23 2018, 07:11 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
