hey, i hope your doing well! i am getting close to buying a new guitar, put a ton of thought and searching into it, years. with the being left handed as a slight set back, i think im getting a epiphone dot and putting a long bigsby on it.
try to get some of that warm feedback sound for some crazy cramps style songs and bluesy stuff! thought you'd be interested in hearing!
