My goal with TWiG is to bring you unique or maybe not widely shared stories and information. Some weeks there’s almost too much to choose from, but for the past couple of weeks there has been a lot less.

Quick follow up on last week’s missed ’56 Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro. I got cash on Monday and emailed the guy. He sold it the day before! Haha. It’s okay, though.
