Beautiful guitar! I love the Pelham Blue too. It looks fantastic. Congratulations!

In 15 minutes I'll be watching a live giveaway of a 2011 (new) Gibson SG Standard. I already have one but not a 2011. 😉

Beautiful! Great score!

The first three days this were so busy for me. I felt like I was flying around like a fart in a wind storm. Today and tomorrow are R&R days for me. I plan on finishing up two projects and making some music.

Good to hear that you're back in the saddle again, as we say in these parts! The woods you chose are beautiful and I can't wait to see you do your magic with them.

You have my support and good vibes, Tman. My son was (I guess still is) an alcoholic. He gained so much weight that he has stretch marks on his belly and his doctor told him he didn't think he would live past 35 years old. After a couple of failed attempts, he finally quit. That was almost 6 years ago. His weight has dropped from 320lbs down to 185lbs. He is healthy and strong again and his liver has completely recovered. You can do this too, Tman. You are in my prayers.

Sounds like a good day!

Guitar Center Coming to a Location Near Me
Marky Forrest replied to badbluesplayer's topic in The Gibson Lounge
I haven't been to a GC store in almost 5 years. The last time I went, I was looking for a Strat. My son and I, plus another man, were the only people in the store, besides three salespeople. The three salespeople were just laughing and goofing around at the center island. The Strats that I could reach were pretty beaten up but I saw one up high that I wanted to try out. I tried waving and calling out out to get some attention so someone would get it down for me. Nothing. My son walked over to them and brought a young kid back with him who said, "okay... which one?" What a punk. I told him I changed my mind and left. My local mom and pop music store mover to a mall because their rent was raised too high in the strip plaza near me. I'm happy for you that you may get some amp work from GC. That's fantastic! But. I'm no fan of theirs. -
The "Just got in from a gig" thread.....

Thank you, John. Much appreciated. -
That is excellent, Brian! I enjoyed it very much. Blessings

Oh man. I don't know what to say.

Wow, congrats everyone! Great guitars at great prices. Can't beat that.

The "Just got in from a gig" thread.....

Well it's good to hear that it stopped raining. The weather certainly has been strange. Good luck finding a new singer and some venues. The stock market here in the USA had a fantastic rally today. They say it was because of lessening Coronavirus fears. I hope they're right. I had a really busy day taking care of my disables son. I spent 3 1/2 hours in the car taking him to different appointments. He's doing pretty well, thank goodness. I'm pooped and about to call it a day. Goodnight all. Peace -
Monoprice 15w Tube Amp with 12" Celestion and Spring Reverb
Marky Forrest replied to mihcmac's topic in The Gibson Lounge
I noticed that amp, too, and found the schematics for it. -
That is one very fine looking Tele. Nicely done.
-
Thanks! I really like that guitar and I'm feelin' it more with the black plastic. It plays and sounds amazing.
-
The purplish hue around the borders is due to using an old camera. The body is alder with aged cherry laminate. Before: After:

Gibson Les Paul Standard 2017 volume knob not working as it should
Marky Forrest replied to briklot's topic in Gibson USA
Thanks for a great laugh. I have only 1 of those thingys in my 2017 SG HP. I opened the cover once and closed it right up. I have no clue how to work on them. -

Yes, I sent him an invite to join the thread. I've never done that before so I just sent him a PM. -
She looks very well taken care of. Congratulations on your great score!

Congratulations! She's a beauty.

Monoprice 15w Tube Amp with 12" Celestion and Spring Reverb
Marky Forrest replied to mihcmac's topic in The Gibson Lounge
That's great! I'm happy to hear they worked out well. I'm still wondering about installing a standby switch to extend tube life. I don't know how difficult it would be. -
I got black plastics for one of my Strats yesterday and today I'll be swapping out the currently white ones. The white ones just don't look right on an aged cherry body and black pick guard. I'll post some before and after photos, if anyone is interested. I mean because it's a Fender.
