hotshot Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) First I want to thank you for allowing me to be a member. My name is Steve (hotshot). I'm soon to be 71 years old (Dec. 7th). When I was 16, I traveled with a band. I helped set up & take down. The front man played a Les Paul. I wished I could get one for the longest time. Fast forward to 2021. I have come to the conclusion I'm not getting any younger LOL. When it got warmer, I got a second part time job and saved every dime. It wasn't long I had enough money to buy a new Les Paul. I had been watching Sweetwater and "low & behold" on August 10 a demo popped up. I made a quick phone call to a sales engineer he said he would start the paper work . I jumped in my truck and "flew" to Fort Wayne ( I live 40 miles south) and purchased a beautiful Les Paul Standard 60's Iced tea. I finally got the picture thing figured out.. She is a "looker" !!!!!

CNJ Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Hi Steve, WOW, that is stunning! Iced tea never looked that good. How does she sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotshot Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) I bought a Fender Mustang GTX 50 and it makes it sound terrific !!!! I believe I'm going to have a set up performed on it and have a bone nut installed. I'm going to also put a set of Paradigm 10's on along with a set of Grover locking tuners also. It's everything I could have hoped for !!!!! Edited September 2, 2021 by hotshot bad sentence wording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
