My first vibe was an M55 that I played up until I built the first Piper Vibe. Here's the receipt from Manny's from 1974. The instrument was delivered to me at Berklee where I was a second year student. Gary was my teacher and it seems like yesterday. I customized that instrument with pedal spurs, MBraces and bladder-filled damper pad and then sold it around 1994 somewhere in Nebraska. Here's the receipt just for fun. Brand new, $850.00
