Pulled a coupla guitars from storage for general cleaning and love recently

If you have a feminine or delicate frame (not judging) a Les Paul may not be your instrument of choice.

An ultralight balsawood instrument may better suit your delicate needs. I know people like that so no shame.

Most often their ‘back pains’ are not related to a heavy guitar, though.

I always recommend that they play more and do resistance training instead of being pussies.

Nobody wants to be a pussy, right?

Not sure what I said to gain such attention, but please do tell.

No need for that, you guys cut it out, please.

I got this one 22 years ago for my 50th birthday. Straight from Kalamazoo. It's a great guitar, but at a bit over 9 1/2 lbs, I can only go about 45 mins to and hour before my back gives out. I once had it press enough on the nerve in my shoulder that my left fingers started to get numb.

When I was at the factory this past August, I tried out one of these. At about 6 1/2 lbs, I don't have any issues.

Though I'm not a fan of gold, that is a nice looking guitar. I think anyone would be proud to suffer through strapping that one on. Gold isn't necessarily a minus, it just doesn't age well, imo. If that is a recent photo of yours, after 22 years it's holding up well, mint.

Yeah ditto.

I almost wish they had more mass. I like it.

Check your inbox, Sir.

 

[Steenamaroo]

For shame.

These are two different people.

Thank you!

 

[Seeker of Rock]

Sincere apology guys. A little too much vape Friday.

I did get this as a freebie yesterday. 25 years late but I’ll still play with it. It’s not a guitar but may prove fun. And not sure it’s even relevant anymore but it has knobs, so I can work with it.

 

[Sky Blue Lou]

lol
I have one of those. Haven't plugged it in since I don't know when.

I’ve been off anti-anxiety meds for awhile now and use it to knock down the spurts. Friday I overdid it. It’s the oil so usually it doesn’t get me ‘high’. I guess enough of it can if I’m not paying attention.

I cleaned up after myself a little.

I have a PODxt. I've used it for direct in guitar on a few songs, and it works great on the Bassman setting for ... you guessed it.... bass guitar!

When I started jamming with my friends, and we go direct for guitars, I used it for a few months. It was a bit of a pain for a travelling rig. Too many cables to deal with. Now I have they Strymon Iridium, so the POD is back on the shelf in the basement.

XT followed the first release, right? Did XT include drums by chance?

 

[TalismanRich]

No drums, just different, and more emulations.

Me too! That's the original Pod.
I got it to play through headphones in my little caravan.
I played nursing home gigs with a tiny Vox valve amp, and put the Pod before it to get some character into the sound.

I have the Orange amp (which is a beast for the size) but also my smaller stompbox board case as well. The pod is smaller but love my boxes.

The little Fender starter amps back around that time had (kinda rudimentary) drum beats built into their modeling IIRC which would’ve been nice for a single unit modeler. Using iPhone is too small, I don’t have a pad, and my desktop is for work only. Meh, it was free so I’ll have fun with it.
