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.

Lol. I was just joking around with "sissy" , not a serious statement. Thats what a lot of die hard les paul players were saying when the weight relieved ones first came out. (Old dogs-new tricks) I have a weight relieved les paul and a solid one too. I like them both. Just something about the...

There's an old saying "if it's not broken, don't try to fix it" Leo fender got the stratocaster right and had tweaked it into perfection by 1957. THATS the guitar fender should be making. Gibson tweaked the les paul into perfection by 1959. THATS the guitar Gibson should be making. Ditto on the...

In the Japanese guitar lawsuit it reverted to just the open book headstock design. I think it was against Ibenez. So, Ibenez, Yamaha, Greco, Tokai, and other Japan guitar makers, just slightly changed the headstock and kept making the really good les paul copies. Not a peep out of Gibson after...

Gibson have been the law suit filingest mofos in the guitar business. I love les Paul's and V's but their guitars are way over priced. Back in the late 70's and early 80's Japanese were producing very close high quality les paul replicas and selling them for a fraction of the price. Actually at...

One reason it sounded too trebley may have been you setting the amp volume low on 2. The supers, and pro's, (or marshalls for that matter) sound better when you turn the volume on up to 5 or so, where you have way more head room than you need, and pull the volume way down on your guitar. The amp...

I love among amps too

I think the old fender pros, supers, vibrolux, and deluxe are hard to beat if you are gigging and you need one ampbto cover all bases....clean, slightly overdrive blues, and rock and roll. My favorite rock setup is a les paul with paf pickups going through a Marshall tube amp, but it's pretty...

Yeah, I had a silver face super reverb too. Awesome amp but heavy. The pro isn't much lighter. They are both 40 watts. Pro is 2/12's and the super is 4/10's. The super had a mid tone control and the pro just bass and high. I've never found myself wishing the pro had a mid control...it is voiced...

There is a reason those old strats are selling for way over 10k, when there are so many still out there. Most people don't want to get rid of them, and when they do people with money are willing to cough up the dough. They have vibe all their own that is extreamly hard to replicate in a modern...

For me it's tone, looks, and playability. To some looks aren't important, but for me, if the guitar is goofy looking i dont care how good it plays and sounds, it's not going to speak to me and have me playing it for hours unable to put it down Personally, I like mid 60's strats. I have played...
