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.
