So I got this old '71 deluxe conversion last month and I been messing with it of course. Thought you might dig this progression.

Thought this might be interesting. Pair up your Les Paul and Fender guitars!

The guitar played by Kurt Cobain on the Unplugged in New York album and also supposedly the last guitar he played before he killed himself was lost in a divorce settlement by his daughter Francis Bean.

Peter Frampton. Frampton Comes Alive was being played almost continually on AM radio in those days. When I saw the album cover, I thought "Man, that guy and THAT guitar are HAPPENING!"

I didn't know about different cutaway binding widths from different eras. My first Lester was a '95 Standard with wide cutaway binding. So when I got my Access with narrow binding, I thought it was sloppy finishing that had covered over the binding

"In other words, while Gibson was dismissing and name-calling their customers, Fender was actually listening to their customers." Thought some might find this a good read.

We do not get to see many early '57 GT's with Black Plastics here, so I thought Members here might enjoy seeing this Mint example. This was previously owned by INXS's Bass Player, Gary Beers, when Dom bought this in Sydney.

The maker of Gibson guitars, omnipresent for decades on the American Rock 'N Roll stage, is filing for bankruptcy protection after wrestling for years with debt.

He spent years cultivating his own sound and you should too. Quit robbing food out of your kid's mouths by spending thousands on guitars, pickups, amps, bone nuts, bridges and other assorted parts trying to chase his sound down.

Tronical, the German company that developed Powertune automatic "robot" tuning systems back in 2005, is suing Gibson for $50 million.
