  1. Likely no one knows. 1970 was a long time ago. I got the Wagner pickups off eBay and they sound insane in that Les Paul. If he is still making them I might be tempted to order another set. I just don't know if he is.
  2. Car show.... 4 hours.... 4 sets..... tired. I'm too old for this. But it was fun. Decent weather... and playing outside no one complains about you being loud.
  3. I played four sets with it tonight at a car show... we are in love. Does everything the other one does, but the neck is a little fatter (which I like) and the pickups have a little more midrange snarl (which I like). New #1.

    NGD!!!

    Great looking top..... and it already has the proper knobs for a Les Paul! 🙂
  5. Family farms are toast. I did read a book by an English farmer recently about a return to old-school, crop rotation farming that was interesting. Maybe it will catch on here too.
  6. Sugar and sweet.... they sounded good together. Like in Humble Pie.... Marriot was great but Frampton added some sweet to his salt. Shrugs..... just sayin'. Was either better? I liked the mix.....
  7. If you can find them anymore, Jim Wagner makes some great Duane inspired humbucker sets. Not cheap.... about $300 for the set, but they sound great. I have a "Crossroads" in my Les Paul and they are amazing. I have been thinking about one of the Duane sets for an SG.... I can't bear to remove the set that's in the LP now because it sounds too good. http://www.jimwagnerpickups.com/
  8. I loved Morphine. Even better I love Sandman's previous band "Treat Her Right". Sorta lo-fi rockabilly. Killer stuff.
  9. Finally got the David Grissom SE that I ordered like 9 months ago! I always wanted his signature model but dragging a nearly $3k guitar to gigs seems unwise. When they announced the SE version I ordered it right away. I've been using the PRS SE 24 Vintage Sunburst onstage almost exclusively for almost two years and have really enjoyed it. But the DG controls are more to my liking. This weekend I'm going to try the new DG at a gig and will then decide which is the keeper... or.... yeah.... no.... I don't really need both. I use other guitars for other tunings so two PRS will really be overkill. Wish me luck....
  10. Nice! I can't play those bodies... I look like a gnome. They sound great though!
  11. I saw them once... but not Low Budget era.... later version... on the Word of Mouth tour ('85) I think.
  12. Last new Gibsons I bought were two 2019 Les Paul Junior tributes. I used them as my gig guitars for a while: the dual pickup in standard tuning - the single pickup in open G. They were super solid but uninspiring. I sold the dual pickup one but I still have the single pup one. Just don't play it much. For the discerning eye... I eventually ended up with reflector knobs on both (as opposed to those pictured) and I rewired them with each with an Emerson drop in kit. I don't know why Gibson still uses such crappy parts on $1k guitars, but I know how to fix it.
  13. Luscious looking Strat. I'm sure it sounds as good as it looks.
  14. I feel your pain! I had the exact same problem.... degenerative disks. I had my C3-C6 fused this summer. Bionic neck! My symptoms weren't pain as much as muscle weakness and limited range of movement. I had the surgery last of May. In the rehab lane now.... slow going. Getting old sucks. Avoid if possible..... LOL.
