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.

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

Check your inbox, Sir.

 

[Steenamaroo]

For shame.

These are two different people.

Thank you!

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.
