Hey, I resemble that remark! :)

:laughings: That's good to know! I read on the internet that a darker board also makes you play much better and actually looks worth a sh!t to boot.

One of the most amazing products I have used on fretboards is Old English dark furniture scratch repair. You can take those light anemic looking modern rosewood fretboards and take a q-tip, wipe it on, let it sit a while, and then wipe it off, and the results are stunning. All the grain nuances...

I was talking about Clapton when he was with John Mayall and the blues breakers. The album where the cover showed Clapton reading a magazine that had "Beano". It's nicknamed the beano album, even though that isn't the albums title. Clapton played a '59 burst through a Marshall on that album and...

That's where the vintage Japanese LP copies, as good as they are, fall short. The customs have rosewood boards

Amazing guitar Scott! Must be a trip having Travis playing it in that iconic video.

Johnny winter was a HUGE influence on me. I was s total Johnny Winter freak in my formative guitar playing years. He set the benchmark extreamy high IMO. There was no internet or instructional videos back then. A vinyl record and knowing a guitarist that would show you something was the best you...

Ditto on Hendrix and the strat. Fender was ready to kill the stratocaster line before Hendix hit the scene. The rest is history. Fender should pay the hendrix family royalties from stratocaster sales. Lol

Eric Clapton gets a lot of credit for putting the '59 les paul burst on the map. He wanted a les paul because Freddie King played one. Only thing is that Freddie King's les paul was a P-90 gold top. Les Paul's were hard to come by in England at the time and Clapton had to "settle" for a...

I'm a total Allen Collins fan. The live version of "Freebird" on the Lynyrd Skynyrd's live album "one more from the road" is arguably the most icon rock guitar solo in history. Allen played Explorers and Firebirds, with a strat thrown in on some tunes. Allen always strapped on the Explorer for...

TV yellow special! Don't get much more 50's vibe that that. Is the fretboard ebony or dark rosewood? Seems like most of the modern rosewood fretboards have that pale tan color.

Oh ok, your talking about the vintage ones

Yeah, that way when you tool up for one of them you would get a lot more sales

How much is one now?

A8 lot of people love the juniors

I guess this is a fitting place to post this.... New guitar day!! 2012 led paul traditional. The burst is nicely done imo. I love a cherry sunburst, but not a fan of those "clownbursts" that Gibson was turning out for a while.

In other words a lot like the "good" guitars they are selling? I couldn't resist that. Lol

I've always been a strat guy mostly. I still have a '66 that I bought in 1976 for $150. Which would probably equate to $700 or $800 in tofayd dollars. Some of my older guitar playing friends, that I looked up to at the time, ridiculed me for buying it. They said I got screwed because it wasn't a...

I really like the 70's les pauls. I know the norlin era les pauls had the sandwiched bodies, and I have seen some that have started to separate. They are supposed to be the worst ones. But, I have owned a few down through the years and have had really good luck with them. I love the necks and...

Yep. I'm 64 now. My biggest problem is Iove my vintage 1968 fender pro reverb amp, and I gig with it. It is one heavy mofo. But, the tone is so good its worth carrying.
