Country Gentleman Story
Posted: Fri Apr 28, 2017 9:02 pm
In 2008 I sold my 1987 Gibson Country Gentleman. My wife had bought it for me in 1987 but I was playing a Gretsch more so I put it on ebay. A guy near me bought it and I took it to him and almost cried when I gave it to him.
I never thought I'd see it again.
He immediately put it on ebay. I was furious but in the end if he hadn't I wouldn't have made a dear friend(Joe Hudson)
At CAAS in 2015 I saw Steve Rector playing it. Joe Hudson had bought it on ebay from the guy I sold it to. He found it for Steve.
I told Steve if he ever wanted to sell it please give me first chance at it.
Told Joe the story and he said if he could get it he would for me.
Here it is. Joe bought it for me and I paid him and with the help of Micah Yandell I am restoring it.
