OK, OK, it's not the Cave. Sue me. :D

Last week there was a thread in which someone commented that there weren't too many choices in Les Pauls. I thought I'd compile a list of the available LP models. The following Les Pauls are from the Gibson USA shop and don't include Custom Shop Guitars. I count 22 configurations, and most of...

...to try... to get around to... posting pictures of my harem this weekend. ;) That's a promise! :p

I have a very basic setup - I use a TASCAM 2488 with no outboard processing, and use no preamps. Mics for vocals and my guitar amp go directly into the back of the unit. The 2488 is cursed with a very small LCD screen, and there is no way to get a really high-definition view of signal levels...

...and a brief look it was. I just had enough time to unpack the thing, tune it, look it over, and plink for a few minutes before leaving for the evening. It seems well put together. The neck (set neck) and body are mahogany; the fingerboard is rosewood. The headstock is narrow with a straight...

I will resize your pics tonight and get them to you. I've been fucking off. Sorry. :o :)

This cute little thang... I'm not expecting much in the way of finish, but it should be fun. I'll probably butcher it, just to see if I can get a rise out of notCardio. :D

Where the fuck have I been? :confused: This guy is good.

Oddball question here. I recently upgraded my cell phone, and since my old one had a dead display I decided to indulge my inner 8-year-old and take the thing apart. I used the standard 8-year-old-boy disassembly tools - two flat-bladed screwdrivers and a hammer. Marvels of miniaturization...

Made you look. :D Here's the question: When you are playing your guitar, standing, with the strap on, how high or low are you positioning your guitar? I could never play with the thing hanging way down. I've always kept the guitar positioned fairly high, maybe a bit lower than what you...

I have gotten complacent and forgotten the value of practice, practice, practice. I have all this music in my head but I'm not working my hands enough to be able to play what I hear. I was trying to lay down a short lead track on a version of "Paint It Black" and everything I did just blew...

I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these. Shit, for $399, how can you go wrong? I'm thinking "Vintage Sunburst." The other options are black or white, and the white doesn't look too bad, either (although I'm not normally a fan of white guitars.) notCardio, if you're reading, that Vintage...

Here are a few of notCardio's gear pics. notCardio will provide the commentary.

They came through fine. Cool guitar! Want me to post 'em for you?

....is doing a good job micing my amp. :) This is the mic that I bought about 15 years back at GC, and I can't find a reference to the model number anywhere. It's labeled as an AudioTechnica PR1000HE. It's a dynamic, and the spec sheet defines it as a hypercardoid. Well, whatever it is...

I have an ancient guitar stand that has surgical rubber tubing on the contact surfaces. The rubber has gotten hard and has lost its grippiness. What's a good replacement? Did I read somewhere that rubber tubing isn't necessarily good for guitar finishes?

Check this out: Gibson Custom Shop 1960 LP Special single-cutaway reissue: http://www.gibsoncustom.com/flash/products/lespauls/60Special_SC/1960SpecialSC.html MSRP $2,250. Start socking away those pennies. ;)

OK? Are you happy now? Sheesh! :rolleyes: :p :D

Has anyone checked out these guitars on Guitar Fetish's web site? http://store.guitarfetish.com/xaviereguitars.html They look pretty nice. I exchanged a couple of emails with 'em. The guitars are MIK to Guitar Fetish's specs and it looks like they actually have decent hardware in them. I like...

Last night I decided to fine-tune the pickup height on my new Telecaster (MIA Deluxe Ash). The bridge pickup will not adjust downward on the treble side. (The bass side is OK.) The adjustment screws - the middle one and the one on the treble side - will actually back out so their heads...
