was rambling through the evil bay and found this:

my old SGRI, it's a 2005 model

So why did you sell it in the first place?

i didn't like the sound as i was expecting a copy of the old EB3's in performance. that was before i found the old pit and i based my purchase without the benefit of reviews from fellow players.

but it got me back to playing and that ended almost a 30 year hiatus.

just think how you feel when it comes up again in 30 years time

Wow, we've had some similar experiences!  I bought an Epi EB-0 after 27 years off and it got me back into playing big time!  I also sold my SG RI cuz I fell in love with TBs and play those now all the time.  I only play one short scale regularly and it isn't a Gibson.
