Saw your entry post on the LPF white room, very nice, I thought I saw some arguements on this forum, but the LPF holds the most ridiculous arguments award, read the thread on the 2007 Historics, :lol: :lol:
Nice guitar :)

Thanks.

I saw that on the 07 Historics :) With so many differing opinions about the smallest of details; it's easy for a thread like that to fly apart.

LOL! Yeah, it's kind of like listening to two big, fat, 50 year-old Civil War reenactors argue about the thread count in their uniforms. It's like "Uh, guys, you're kind of missing the point here. . . "

Who cares if the molecular structure of the binding duplicates the original material used in the 50s?!?!

Shit dude, you've got a REALLY nice guitar there and if you are digging it, then I say play it in good health and God bless.

Rock on! ;)

Thanks!

I have been wanting that plain top for a very long time. I saw Jimmy Page playing one when I was a kid and for some reason I fell in love with the look of it and I have always wanted one ever since.

This guitar does all of the stuff that you expect a guitar to do-it's really crazy.

With the bridge pickup volume full up, you get that Slash tone but as soon as you back it down just a touch it goes into that smoother Kossoff type of tone and gradually cleans up as you keep backing down and once you get to around 2 or 3 it goes into this real nasally, squawking tone-it's just sick!

This is probably the first guitar I have owned where I can actually use both the neck and bridge pickups together to get a whole array of useful tones without one pickup overiding the other; the balance between them is great.

One thing that it doesn't do that all of my other guitars do, even my SG, is get that non-musical sizzle and grit on top of the notes when the amp is cranked. I don't know if that is attributable to the "bumble bee" caps or not but I am assuming it is. All this time I thought it was something to do with the amps but I am not so sure about that anymore. This guitar has a buttery smooth tone with a really cool growl at the same time.

Okay, I gotta stop gushing or else I will have to take the day off from work and spend it playing :)
