I have a friend who I grew up with who is a fantastic guitar player. He's been through a lot of stuff and we've grown apart for a while. I'd love to get his advice, but I'm concerned about bringing him back into the fold. I'm not up on guitars, but he had a Gretsch(sp) back when we were teenagers. Not sure if and what he's playing now, but I used to love sitting around while he played, floyd, Metallica and Slayer
