matiac Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Hey Brad, I gotta tell you that that guitar in your avvy is quite attractive. It reminds me of a certain stringed instrument that is also very Blue. Blue happens to be my favorite color for a guitar, particularly a Les Paul. I also especially dig the SMOKIN' flamed maple veneer your guitar sports, very nice indeed.
Whitmore Willy Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Matiac, I'm with you. Ya know, ya just "gotta love da blues". Willy

So thanks also for the excuse to post some more. It's a '97 Unsung. I like it, but need to buy new pickups. They don't sound anything like the stock pups in my '06 G400. They must go. And I may get new knobs. Anyways, thanks again, and glad to have you back around. I knew you'd like the color!
BluezOldy Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Love that blue too! LPs look soooo much better without the pickguard.
BlueLesPaul2006 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 You know guys im with you on this blue thing!
matiac Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 That was one of the first things I did was swap pickups for a set out of a circa '70's Gibson SG ("T-tops") with covers removed to keep the Classic look, and gold screws to set them off from the rest of the guitar. And I gotta tell ya, difference between stock and these pickups is like night and day, totally different sounding (WAY better) guitar. But yeah, I've always liked a blue guitar of any type, this Lester is my 5th blue one...I just seem to gravitate toward blue.
matiac Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 We need to start a Blue Les Paul mutual admiration society. I couldn't resist...sue me.
BlueLesPaul2006 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 We need to start a Blue Les Paul mutual admiration society. I second this motion.
charlie brown Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Speaking of interesting colors on guitars...has anyone heard of, or seen "Stan" and his Green LP, recently? Wonder what happened...haven't seen any posts, lately. Did was lose him? CB
BlueLesPaul2006 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 So what ever happened to the blue admiration society? I love that idea. oh and Matiac we need to jam sometime with the blue twins.
rowdy27 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Nice! I like 'em with the knobs switched to the Chrome Knurled Dome type that Fenders use. I would remove the pickguard to show off the body too..JMHO.. :(
lpfan Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 You know guys im with you on this blue thing! I was just wondering how you like the Line 6 amp? I have the same one and I love it. I just thought it had alot of cool effects for the money. The only thing I didn't like was having to buy the pedal seperately. I think it should have come with it, but then again I always want alot for my money.
midiman56 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I've got that very same amp too, lpfan. I'm very happy with it. Like you said, very versatile for its size and price. Pretty fair amount of volume as well. I've been impressed with Line 6 in general. MIDI
BlueLesPaul2006 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I do like all of the line 6 features however, I think the tone of the marshall zakk wylde microstack has a better tone. I find the line 6 to be a little to flat and digitized sound in the clean setting. the settings with gain or distortion are great. and I love the fact that i can go from a blues or twang setting to a ear melting rock and high gain tone. for clean tones I play on my roland Jazz Chorus 50w amp. The clean tones just roll off that amp like butter. right now my line 6 amp is for sale or trade for that zakk wylde microstack.

matiac Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 Hey Parabar, those are some rather delectable pieces of eyecandy you have there...especially the one in the middle. Oh, by the way, the Mutual admiration society thread's over in the lounge, aint nobody been there yet.
