Re: Gas at Christmas Tokai Ls 50 Incoming
Congrats. I have an '80 LS50, sunburst, three piece top, GT written in black in the neck pickup cavity. Bought it new when I passed thru Tokyo in '81. I think you'll be happy with yours.

Re: Les Paul Geometry 101

Re: laney gc-30 watt all tube
I have a GC-30. It's a nice amp, but it's not a Death Metal Distortion machine. Don't know what to compare it to, it does not sound like any of my other amps. I turned down an offer of $400 for mine....
