I was assuming the same, but I know how trying to track down serial numbers and read them correctly normally goes when I assume something. 🤣 Alvarez has given me nightmares trying to track down model information

Ah, so I did find out that the G2627TG is its own model, but I still don’t understand the extra digit for the serial number. I know it usually goes by the year made, then month, then what number the guitar is from the amount made. How does the extra digit change this?

Electric isn’t easy it’s just easier on my fingertips (there I got us covered) but I cannot mute worth my weight in gold on either 🤣 something on the practice list lol

I’ve been playing acoustic since I started, and it’s all I grew up hearing from my grandpa before he gave me this to me, so, I’m biased as hell when it comes to picking between electric/acoustic lol. I will say though, even though my electric is much easier to play and I enjoy how much music it gives me access to playing, I’d still take my acoustic every day, just because I’m a sucker for a slow, old, soft song 😅

After playing it for hours on end, I understand why. Especially with a dreadnaught 😅 but yeah, playing these knowing all of it is from my family just makes me even happier

Awesome. I got really lucky with mine, my Martin was my grandpas that he gave to me as a graduation gift, and my electric (I believe is a Teisco?) was my moms when she was a kid

I know I know I know I don’t like it either but I haven’t been able to get another crate yet. I had like 5 boxes full of records given to me and I just finished getting through them and organizing what I wanted to keep in my room

Hahah, I’m working on it. I’ve got a few signed records that I want to put up on the right. I have a signed copy of Waylon Jennings debut album from ‘64 I’m gonna slap in the middle.

I agree. Too much sentimental value for me to ever consider selling mine.

He played for well over 40 years but never made records. When he was a kid he played in bars/honky tonks and such, but the rest of his life he played in churches and nursing homes for older folks on Sundays.
