This friend was gifted to me by my next door neighbour in 2009, when I was 17 and it has been love ever since.
Today it was it's cleaning day: I cleaned it all up, scraped the gunk from the fretboard and polished the frets with car scratch remover and at the end it came out so fine that made me want to share a picture with the community.
Take care of your instruments and they will last for a long time.
Yeah, a friend of mine recently bought a AS73G (the ES-335 style) and I had the chance to play it for a bit and it's fantastic. I was also curious to put my hands on an AZES since I only heard positive things
This is my current favorite, it’s a fake/replica I picked up from a moving sale by the guy who made it. He made a ton of replicas, and had a lot of really old music equipment, including a wax cylinder record player and a full set of replica Beatles guitars.
I have a 20 year old acoustic Ibanez, stopped and restarted playing a couple of time, moved a few times. It's definitely not the greatest guitar on the world, but I have memories with it, making playing with it a precious moment.
