Default C5 Corvette with matching guitar

My 97 C5 turned 24 years old yesterday (3/6/97) and as a guitar builder I wanted to make sure the matching guitar my company RS Guitarworks has building was done by its birthday. I did the short video of showing how the guitar came out, so please check it out because it shows some cool details.

Sweet!

Sebring Silver '97 - the BEST! But then, I might be a little biased.

That's really awesome. A buddy of mine built me one too and I think it turned out great. Now I just need to retire so I can learn to play it.

i have come to the conclusion if you want to learn to play a guitar, you have to start the day you are born

If you want to be John Petrucci, yeah. If you just want to have some fun and be "solidly mediocre" it's like 3 years of dedicated practice for a couple hours every day.

I remember reading that when Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) was asked what made him take up the flute, he replied, " Because Eric Clapton is already playing the guitar."

That’s good. I read a similar story when Townshend and Clapton went to see Hendrix in London and figured their days were done. So, nature or nuture? I saw Derek Trucks play when he was nine years old at a FL bar and his obvious talent wasn’t something that could be taught. Kudos to the genius and the workhorse who play.
