In the late seventies a friend was selling his SG Special, a Hiwatt and a Marshall cab, and I picked them up as a job lot, paid for over a few months, making my Gibson tally 2, which remains the same to date...
Anyway, during 1979 his partner (nicknamed "
Mouse") randomly asked to look at one of my picks, which were logo'd Gibson type, and then asked if she could keep it... I didn't argue or question her reasons for wanting it (
far too dangerous...) but about a month or so later this arrived in my hands as a gift from them both...
It's not a perfect copy but is the same size as a standard pick, slightly thicker than a heavy, and made out of solid silver... I used to wear it pretty much all the time but when the chain broke some years back it transfered to a gold chain with a cross my wife gave me - after a series of accidents with broken chains and after nearly losing both I presently don't wear them at all, but I think of it as quite an unusual trinket... never seen one like it... I think she used to think of me as the
big, little brother she never had, so liked to spoil me from time-to-time...
Anyone else got anything Gibson orientated but out of the ordinary out there...?
