Default 40 years later carbon gets the attention

My wife had a day long event she went to in my old college town, Miami Univerity, Oxford, Ohio. I had time to kill so I went back to the Quad where I used to play guitar, sat down on a bench and played the stuff I used to play back then. It was summer so no one really around. I had taken my Emerald Doubleneck and it wasn't long before some university maintenance guys pulled up in their van and asked what the heck guitar was that I was playing. Never got that much attention as a college Freshman? So lesson learned carbon does a better job of making friends, than my old 1967 Gibson J45, at that time it was two years old! Steve

I'm sure the Doubleneck will get plenty of attention wherever you take it.

I tried that once, but the bench didn't fit as well as it use to.
Come to think of it, everything seemed smaller. (well not everything)
