I have never played a Custom Shop R9, R0, etc. I always wondered if I would think that one of those is so much better when my "regular Les Paul" is -- to me -- plays, sounds, and looks so good.

This is a brutal thread without pics. Any chance of posting pics of the guitar and the signed COAs??

I would just like to go back to 1974 so I could see an initial version of Van Halen in someone'e backyard at a $4-per-head kegger. Then find Randy Rhoades and pay him to give me guitar lessons.

Yes, very cool!

No fresh chicken or beef in Colorado Springs. Do you have fresh meat where you are??

Your guitar is far more beautiful than ANY blue burst I have seen. Awesome!

Here in Colorado Springs, gas and milk are readily available. TP, paper towels, rice, potatoes, chicken & beef are not.

I would absolutely get the Studio between those two. Proper gloss finish and a proper HSC. Also, it has the non-reverse headstock which I also prefer. The Studio has that awesome burst too (so classic for a Firebird to have that) and the Granadillo fretboard (honestly, I have never heard of "Granadillo" but it is sure fun to say out loud). Look, you asked me which one I would pick ... for me it would be the Studio all day long. Not even close.

A couple of recent noteworthy releases ...
1) Sonny Landreth has a new album out called Blacktop Run -- It features some stellar guitar playing and just excellent music (check out the guitar playing, especially, on Groovy Goddess).
2) Def Leppard has a new Early Years 5-CD release -- Typically, anything by Def Leppard is not at all interesting to me. This is different, though. This is a complete re-mastering and extra stuff only related to their often overlooked first two albums. This is the ONLY only Def Leppard era that I ever really liked (Pyromania was okay), but I always hated Hysteria and everything after. This is the era where they were just a hard-working and gritty Les Paul slinging hard rock band from Northern England, a bit reminiscent of Humble Pie. The first three CDs are the most interesting as they include remasters of those two albums plus a 1979 concert -- the only thing for beyond that is the mandatory "Me and My Wine" bonus track from CD 4. For those going to the Motley Crue/Def Leppard stadium tour this summer (if that even happens), they were expected to play a bunch of this early stuff.

... I would check/inform pawnshops in your area. Most of the time, I'd wager it's junkies doing these things. They tend to be local.
The irony here is that advice comes from "Pinch". (LOL)
Additional edit: The word Pinch is also a slang term for stealing something, just in case my post is not making sense.

Soon after Keith Richards became friends with Mick, the two of them were going to a big blues festival in northern England featuring a number of U.S. blues artists that very rarely come to England. They got a ride in a van with a number of other blues fans also going. In that van, they met a young James Page who also played guitar. That was likely around the same time that Jimmy Page at 14 made his BBC TV appearance playing skiffle (the video of it was included in the "It Might Get Loud" documentary - see pic).

It is still surprising to know that a good number of Kenny's hits were written by Prince. Recollecting back to that era, one never would have guessed it.
RIP to both these gentleman ...

You mentioned that you thought is was a '59. I think SGs were only available from 1960 on. (?)

... I had been after a P90 SG initially but specifically, I wanted a P90 SG Standard that had two pickups as well as the parallelogram fretboard inserts but I have been unable to find one. As far as I can tell, they were only made in 2016. This is the sort I mean:
Oh, yeah ... I get it. Those SG Standards w/ P90s were killer. When they were being phased out, you get one for $1000 with the HSC. I just did not have the coin at the time. I am pretty sure that they were made in 2012 and 2013, and then again in 2016. There are some used ones now that show up from time to time.
I really like your LPJ. Nice git, bro.

I am a member of that forum. It's an "interesting" place. There's a few guys that make the day to day living over there a bit tenacious. I won't name names, but these sorted few really give the place a bad aroma. This forum (Gibson) is far more friendly, especially to new comers. not so much over there...
The Fender Forums used to be a super cool place. I joined there back in 2008. In the last years, though,I barely even went there. Very few new threads worth reading with a few people that ... uh ... actually, I will stop typing now. If you can't say something nice...

It is a limited number ... (i.e., limited to the number that they can sell).

Yes - A ridiculously good buying opportunity.

I was able to get Paper Towels from Costco yesterday (on sale, no less), while hordes around me shop the food aisles almost bare. I only bought the paper towels and some roses for my wife ...

I work in a Urgent Care. We have an outbreak of Covid-19 at a local facility so some people are in a bit of a panic. The whole thing is way overblown by the media and politicians. So far (it may change) this is way less severe than H1N1 back in 2009. In the US alone, that infected 60 million people, hospitalized 250 thousand and killed 15-20 million. I agree that this will likely be over soon. It seems like it's already fizzling out in China.
I think you meant "killed 15-20 thousand" ... ? I think it was actually a bit less than that, but it seems the right order of magnitude ...

Nice Raiders sticker ... 😎

Yes to Stones, Who, Rush ... I never got around to seeing the Dead --they played all of the time in the Bay Area, and I figured I would get around to it but never did before Jerry's unexpected departure. Never saw Zappa either ... super talented, but never cared to ... not a fan. I saw Paul McCartney on the Flowers In The Dirt tour from second row center (another military ticket special to get those amazing seats) ... that was pretty special especially being so close. That was his first tour where he played a ton of Beatles stuff including Sgt Pepper. Awesome stuff.

You have a beautiful SG -- I like what you have done.
Purely for aesthetics, my '79 SG Standard has a Gibson maestro tremolo plate, and a chrome "Rhythm"/"Treble" plate with a bronze-metal switch knob.
