IG has some fun photo stuff, this is "Tokyo"
I cannot remember enjoying a bass so much as this one, blows my brain, Gibson was decades ahead of time with this.

So red your fully oxygenated blood gets jealous. So red that candy apple goes on strike. So red that #ffff00000000 swears off hex.
Good one!Speaking of FedEx... after unsuccessfully attempting to get FedEx to at least pay Pat Wilkin's insurance claim covering my stollen guitar body, including multiple claims sent in by Pat (which they conveniently lost), an attempt to have the BBB address it (as if...) and Consumer Relations of CA (ditto) ... as a last ditch effort I sent a detailed letter to FedEx headquarters with all information dated and copied including my signature (which looks nothing like whoever signed for my package) ...and finally a female representative understood what was going on and actually dealt with it professionally. She called me - I confirmed all questions after which Pat took over (since he was the person who shipped/insured it) and he relayed the message that they were going to honor his claim. Acting as the squeaky hinge finally paid-off. (it was stollen last Oct)
About dang time! Go, whoever you are, ma'am!

And this is the way it always is. Some lone responsible, professional person in an ocean of corporate 'passers of the buck'. Yes - once all the funds have been allocated - I will send her an email or voice-mail thanking her for doing her job 100%. Seems odd that doing the bare minimum should be louded - but that's heroic in a blizzard of obfuscation.
Totally classic in a hot rod sort of way!
Sweet dreams are made of these…
Not mine, but if it had a couple less strings, a longer scale and a deeper voice I’d sure like to have it…
I'd definitely play guitar (poorly) more if I had that.
So happy to hear how well it's worked out for you. Do you think you'd take it out for a show?
And then they "improved" them.
Maybe Gibby is more like Devo. They created perfection with the original Tbird and they’ve been devolving ever since then.And then they "improved" them.
one of my favorite looking treble geetars is the early 70's SG Deluxe.
not willing to pay the prices they go for...
so I took my 2018 special and...
I added a harmonica bridge, and B3 bigsby and I need to get some 3 or 5 ply pickguard material, and I'll clean up and enlarge the D guard, I have the perfect shape on the les paul guard and I'm done...
an example of an original...

Image is not showing up, don't know if it's just me or others having the same issue.
New Single came out today, played the VP for the whole release set last night:
Also, just gotta say. This page number? Nice.

Kickin'.(I don't have Spotify-or anything like it-but the clip sounds great.)
Thank you, and good point! For those without Spotify (good on ya, the damned thing):
