  1. One of the more interesting videos of this type that I've seen. The V is at 30:50
  2. Ed Roman is that you? I thought you died.
  3. That's a nice Classic Antique. There was one the same here back in the day that I considered buying but it had a very plain and mismatched top. Also the fretboard inlays were VERY green. Not too pretty so I passed.
  4. Paid $2100 CAD + tax (12%) for my Les Paul Traditional in 2011. Today a Standard 50's is $4000 +12% tax. When I was shopping for my first new "expensive" guitar in 1988 there was a Les Paul Standard for $1575+ tax (7%), and a Custom for $1800. I wanted a Les Paul but decided to buy my American Standard Strat tagged at $1000 +tax. The dealer ate the tax and threw in a pack of strings. The same Strat was $600 +tax US in Michigan but I would have had to pay $ exchange and import duty so not sure if I would have saved much buying in the US.
  5. I posted a link about this story yesterday on "Strat Talk" and immediately some karen started whining and my post was promptly removed by the foot soldiers.
  6. Is that rosewood? My 2012 must be pau ferro or baked maple as it is one piece but yours looks even lighter than mine.
  7. Lots of Itallians here, I'm 50% myself. I 've heard at least one say it for surešŸ˜ but seriously it's not common .
  8. If you come to Canada , you'll be in my neck of the woods. Warning , we've had snow on the ground for 5 days. But lots of great Italian food here.
  9. Didn't know who she was but sad to see a long time Gibson craftsman (craftswoman) pass. What a collection of Gibson (and Heritage) stuff she had.
  10. I've never had the opportunity to see a 1959 Les Paul to know if there were any imperfections but would guess that there would be as my fathers 51 ES300 has some. If there are I doubt that anyone would care. But today there are cheap guitars that don't have any noticable flaws so some people bash Gibson because they still do. There were no cheapo guitars that had better QC back then to compare to a Gibson so nobody cared about minor flaws . They wanted a Gibson so they bought one flaws and all. You just have to decide if it really matters or not. But bear in mind if you return it the next one may be no better or even worse.
  11. My dream Gibson acoustic. Enjoy!
  12. Pretty cool! Something different but in a good way.
  13. When I was a teen there was a building downtown that had a yellowish light box in front to ilumintae the front wall. Everyone called it "Purple City" cause if you looked into the light box for a minuite or two ,then when you look around every light you see would be a viberant purple. Not good for the eyes I would think. Kids.
  14. Someone must have complained about it.
