V winner ! Have not seen that one but.

 

[marshallman116]

It's amazing. The best sounding guitar I own. The store had 5 green ones before the tan one and we knew they were getting it so we jumped on it.

 

[Dogs of Doom]

I only saw the black ones. Yours is the 1st tan one I could find on the net...

I thought they were sold out.

 

[marshallman116]

This is the last one I'm pretty sure.

 

[Dogs of Doom]

How old are you? (just curious)

Keep that guitar, never let it go. Trust me on this...

Take good care of it.

I'm 14, I'll be 15 on the 16th of January. I always take good care of my guitars, this one especially. It's my baby xD

Cool, congrat's, I'd print out that picture of you & your dad (a real print, not computer - make multiples) & stash it away somewhere that you can look at it when you are older...

seems like a cool guitar. this is the first i've ever heard of one. looks like they're gone, which is alright with me- saves me from GASing for one. nice score!

Its very refreshing to see young long haired kids into playing the guitar Reminds me of my youth, when my dad brought me to the store to buy my first Marshall. He has since passed and that amp means more to me now than I ever realized then. Good to see some things never change. Way to go dude !!

Long story short, Our Government seized some "illegal" wood from Gibson. It was later returned and this line of guitars was constructed from the wood. Google it for a more complete answer.

Congrats man! I got my first good guitar when I was young and I still have it and it's in great shape. I'm sure your dad is proud of you!
