A music store in Grand Junction, CO had a young man named Fallon who always came in and asked to play the, “Pantera guitar,” meaning the Dean Dimebag Darrell ML they had on the wall.

He’d wail on it with some sick Pantera riffs each time and eight months ago someone heard him and quietly purchased the guitar after he left and told the store to give it to Fallon the next time he was in.

That next time came a couple of weeks ago when his family came into the store after having moved to Texas and returning to Colorado for a holiday visit. The store posted the story to its Facebook, page, saying his mom burst into tears and Fallon beamed with excitement, along with a couple pictures of Fallon absolutely shredding on his dream guitar.
