Bought this on Reverb tonight. Been looking for a new gigging guitar that can handle some abuse. Going to put an LR Baggs anthem in it. New these are $14-1500. Listed as factory blemish. Got for $977 from Straight in Austin. I dig the look of these in black.

Fuck yeah NGD. I’ll be curious what you think of it. When I bought my 414CE I tried out the lower models but they didn’t sound as nice to me. But with the LR Baggs it might not matter.

I played a non black one in a shop. Sounded pretty good. But yes I’m only really interested in the plugged in sound.

Plus singer now wants to do wanted dead or alive and I need a cutaway for that.

I want a Les Paul type guitar (again).

I bought and sold an Edwards Les Paul 2 years ago. I thought it was muddy and didn’t care for the neck. I guess after 25 years with a Tele, everything just sounded… different. But I do love that LP sound.

For Christmas, I’m thinking of getting another Edwards E-LPS or used Tokai Love Rock. Or be a brand whore and get a Gibson (classic)?

I wonder what the thinking is for whether to place the six string on top or the bottom.

I'm thinking it has a lot to do with whoever is shelling out the money for the guitar.   

BTW, is that Jimmy Page with the Ovation?

Yes. Back in his mid-80's bloated phase.

Not bad at all for $977. Sounds decent but definitely not as pure as the Larrivee unplugged. We’ll see when I plug it in.

Your terrace looks out onto a drive-in cinema?

I can recommend it because its what I have.  2014 Les Paul Traditional.  It has the 59 Tribute pickups.  The only year for these.  They sound superb and not at all muddy.  It's just a fantastic guitar.  Mine is 10+ pounds, but doesn't feel it.  I can play that thing all night long.  I have no idea how stupid the used prices are on these, but they're probably not any worse than other years.

Yeah I’d get a proper Les Paul. But I’m a collector as well as a player and I want the original thing.

This.  Why would you get an off brand, when there are so many varieties of the real thing to choose from?

Just because.

That's so bad it's great!

The thought occurred to me that you could just drill armholes thru the base of each of those suckers, poke everyone's arms through, and go to town.

I think it's time for a new guitar design!

I sent it to a friend and he said, "Who would even make that?  You can't even play it without some guy having his dick in your face."

99 luftbaloons? Who the fuck picks 99 fucking luftbaloons to demo a 9 neck guitar? Total fucking fail. Everyone involved with that project should kick themselves in the nuts.

Maybe it’s the only thing all three of them knew?

Every time I see AUTF posted, I have visions of Surlycasters.

The guitarists were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of Surlycasters danced in their heads.

I said I'd make a decision by the end of October and havent. Im inclined to do it, but I can't yet commit the time to it next year; I'm thinking I will be eitherbe beginning a job search or taking some time off to go travel. I dont want to be in a position where I want to take off, but I'm still waiting for Warmoth to send me a bunch of shit to assemble.

Also, if I do commit I have 2 competing visions for it now - ill get a concensus from everybody interested on which to build. The Don Rich inspired double bound classic vs no binding and a pair of TV Jones Classic Filtertrons.

There's your update.

If you want to catch some guitar badassedry over the next week in ATX, my guitar teacher will be playing twice with David Grissom at the Saxon Pub.
