Dream-come-true NGD: 1938 Epi Deluxe

[Charles Carter]

That is truly awesome. I'm stoked for you.
What an absolutely beautiful guitar.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous.
Enjoy!

Hmmmm... Elixir's are fancy for me....I'm just an old fashioned EB Slinky dude.....

That smile is almost as good as this one Duane!
(Couldn't find it without the top of his head cut off, but the smile does extend to his eyes.)
Saw a vid once where Les Paul introduces "Bucky Pizzeria".

Here ya go:

I'm afraid I did it again and now the '38 Epi has a companion amp for gigs: a mint "Custom '57" Pro that was being sold at an irresistible price near my place. What can I say? The perfect amp for the big band guitarist! Barney Kessel sounds ar big band volume un-mic'd. I gigged it once already and it's terrific. Sounds amazing with Fender guitars too… a beast to lug around in public transports for someone with a bad back like me, hence the little cart. Now I'm done acquiring gear for quite some time…

That’s a beaut. I just bought a ‘50 Devon, which isn’t quite in the same class but still mighty darn swell. It has a Bartolini floater; I’ll try that for a while before putting a Rhythm Chief on it. I also like it through my DIY tweed Pro.

The old Epi archtops are such beautiful guitars - especially the DeLuxe and Triumph.

It sure looks like a Beautiful example of the DELUXE model to me....A life time guitar that stays in the family. Congrats!! Just playing a guitar like that recharges your batteries in life. Enjoy......
