most persons become guitar players early, but, i have waited until my mid-70's to start gaining some proficiency with the instrument.
yeah, it's kind of an odd "sequence" to become a guitar nut. "for sures," the kid in me says.
my latest acquisition is a schecter solo-ii custom. if not an outright copy of the les paul, it will do until one comes along. it is a nice guitar, has some nice features, and sounds pretty good. and, it is a playable instrument. and, it is a very well made & finished guitar, and quite handsome in a matt black with a cream-ish/yellowish binding. what's not to like?
it lists at retail for $699, which to my mind, is a real bargain.
made, at least according to the head stock, in south korea. there are, apparently, all kinds of guitar factories all over the pacific rim, churning out guitars, some of which are a bit cheap, and some of which are of very good quality. my little toy gives every evidence of being a very well made guitar, from fit and finish, to its solid feeling and nice tone.
i'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good guitar at a very reasonable price. schecter has "done good," as we say these parts.
