I guess now I need one.  Is there a such thing as a lefty Les Paul?

[Deej 77965]

Merry Christmas!

 

 

[Chad Fuck 18179]

Maybe somebody's custom modded FrankenStrat creation? 

This guess is as good as any. You should ask in the comments. Someone will know.

I feel like if I asked for shit I’d be revealing how much it actually costs.

Although I have hinted about the Jason Isbell Tele. But I don’t think anyone listens that close.

Turns out someone did listen that close

Pics motherfucker...post 'em.

And have you had a chance to plug it in?

Also, I'm curious where your secret santa got it, and if you thought it was properly set up upon arrival.

Apparently showing up on Friday. Coming from Sweetwater, so expecting a decent enough setup.

More info on Friday.

Ah.  Something to look forward to.  Thanks for sharing with us.   I really look forward to your report, as I've been considering one of these myself. 

Meanwhile, any of y'all wanna buy a '37 Gibson?

This would work better if you posted pics again.

I have an inner conflict.  I 100% prefer buying from a local guitar shop, but Sweetwater has their game tight.  Whoever is training Sweetwater employees is putting in the work.

They do make sure everything is there and in good shape, but they in no way set their guitars up. The most unplayable guitar I ever received from them was the one I actually had them set up, just to see how they did.

[tbone_ 14514]

[tbone_ 14514]

Very cool guitar. Def needs a setup.

[G650 14464]

Hell yeah man

[CoTex 1191]

Does that hole in the wall serve a particular purpose?

[tbone_ 14514]

It was a connection for a compressor. This garage baby used to be someone’s shop. Now it’s my office. I cut it off and just need to dry wall over it at some point. Or not.

[tbone_ 14514]

[Buzzrock 15192]

You gotta take the straps off man. I know it’s a hassle but it looks so much prettier. 

[tbone_ 14514]

Negative. This way I just grab and play. The less action required between thought and playing the better.

Glory hole?

Noice!

Same same.

Prettier sands straps. But less functional.

Could be said for a lot of things.

How many of yall play standing up when not in a band situation?

[tbone_ 14514]

How many of yall play standing up when not in a band situation?

90% of the time. Only time I’m really sitting is when I’m at the computer figuring out and charting new songs.

[tbone_ 14514]

Ok this is pretty sweet

Gotcha. I subscribe to the never run  when you can walk, never walk when you can stand, never stand when you can sit theory. Also never sit when you can lay down.

Morello wears his guitar high when standing, so it's in the same position as when he's sitting.

Definitely.  A smart, talented dork, but if I had his talent I wouldn't make most of his decisions.

Even sitting down I prefer a strap to keep it in optimal position. But I take the straps off when I hang them up because I’m a gentleman. 

[Deej 77965]

The only guitar I keep a strap on is my Strummer Tele. I'd hate to drop it and leave a mark.

 

[Celery Man 21128]

Les Paul needs a strap sitting down

[jimmyjazz 47397]

I don't think I've ever played sitting down.

[Mileslong 4815]

I’m a D’Addario guy but was wondering about trying some other brands for my new Taylor. Have you guys ever used Stringjoy’s?

[Chad Fuck 18179]

… because I’m a gentleman. 

Oh well see, right there’s your problem.

[G650 14464]

Y'all are some high energy motherfuckers. I need a nap after just reading about all this standing up.

[noharleyyet 2866]

I don't know where my strap is...

There have been lengthy discussions about this but if you haven’t tried John Pearse you should. It’s a different, brighter sound, and if you think you have callouses now they will kill your fingertips for good, but wow what a big sound. 

[Goredho 17665]

Team sit on my ass as much as possible.

[Celery Man 21128]

curious if tbone is having the same weird... satisfaction with the lightweight of the alder tele combined with the double binding. it almost feels like it's got that danelectro contruction.

Until you wrote "tele" I though you were discussing the gloryhole.

[DougO 5271]

Wait...y'all actually play these guitars we buy?

I guess I didn't get the memo.
