Old Faithful - a photo on Flickriver

Old Faithful

            Not to be outdone with having a photoshoot with Niika (my Gibson Les Paul Standard) and Haruna (my Fender Telecaster), it was high time to have a photoshoot with Lucy, my Epiphone G310/SG.

This is my old faithful... my very first electric guitar I got way back in 2006.

She was a cheap guitar, because I was still a beginner, transitioning from an acoustic guitar to electric, so I had to get a decently priced guitar, and thanks to a Filipino guitarist named Ira Cruz, I fell in love with the SG shape (lol, you'd think it was because of Angus Young).

But as a beginner in high school, it was hard for me to buy a Gibson SG and was too frightened to ask for like 3 grand or more from my parents to get me an SG as a beginner. So, it was this...

I LOVED HER. And still love HER.

It may not be the Gibson SG I wanted, but we went thru a lot. And I since improved on her electronics and hardware; she sings a lot better than she ever did when I first got her.

Since then, I've gotten several other guitars, both electrics and acoustics, to have a good collection. I even have Gibsons now. 

But the thing is, I still have yet to get a Gibson SG. Maybe because I don't want to have Lucy usurped. Although, some day, I should get a Gibson SG and have Lucy retire as to not damage her over the years. We will see.

Until then, she will always be my number 1.
