1967 Gibson ES-335

Thread derailing ahead! :cool: When Pat bought his ES-175, it had only a neck pickup (ES-175, not an ES-175D). In high school woodshop, he cut a hole to add a bridge pickup and holes for a...

I went for a couple years. No guitar program though. It was ok but not really worth it for someone like me. Truthfully I had zero bad experiences with the music program people or students. A couple...

For those who went to music school, was it worth it?
