I wish as well. Got legal issue about wrapped up from my Dads estate from 4 years ago and a few K left on it. My Mom passed away in April and about 2400 left on it so kinda strapped at the moment. This and medical issues pending it ain't looking pretty!
Well with much regret Budokan #185 might be going on the for sale block! I am pending an operation, 7 bulging discs in my neck cause nerve impingement in my left shoulder, tennis elbow in my left arm, needless to say neck issues. Have had them for about four years now and surgeon said back...
Beautiful! Nothing looks better than a Korina finish on an Explorer! I'd take that pickguard off and put a replacement on it since JB signed it if it were me :thumb:
I bought my Son years ago a Goth SG, needless to say he never did pick it up. Fast forward to this Xmas I just bought him a 5 piece Tama drum set. Guess we Will see where that goes. Hopefully your Son will pick it up.
Age takes its toil cause when I seen RUSH in 78 neither Alex or Geddy had any issues with the doublenecks at all and during the R40 tour yes they looked cumbersome. Still they played and sounded great. :thumb: love doublenecks!
Another that made that specific claim are The 2012 Budokan Customs are listed on Epiphones website as a period correct 3-piece hard Maple top/cap. Of course these are beautiful plain tops as well. When I replaced the pup rings on mine it was easy to see that thick maple top/cap.
I can second this but I didn't wanna be accussed of being biased because of owning one but lets just put it this way. I bought a 16 Gibson Standard T, which was a phonomenal Lester, but not so much more phonomenal that I was willing to keep it compared to my Budokan, so I returned it...
You only are gonna get what you put into it...no more no less. We all have been where you are. It can be frustrating, overwhelming, but if you persevere and just don't get discouraged you will be successful in time. Some things come easy. Some things quickly. But overall it isn't...
Hello and welcome to MLP :wave:! Great bunch of folks here except the usual knuckleheads that are everywhere. Knowledge Base is amazing and always someone to help out. Some are more opinionated than others :hmm:
Very nice Custom it looks to be in great shape to boot! HNGD and Congrats...
:wave: Hello and welcome aboard the MLP Starship! Great bunch of felllas here other than a few contrary knucklehead's! Knowledgeable bunch, oh an a tad bit opinionated at that.
Nice Lester with a nice top. Sounds like your on your way. Congrats and HNGD :applause:
Absolutely the best drummer I have ever had the privilege to witness live! I first seen them during the Farewell to the Kings Tour in early 78, then Roll the Bones in early 90's and last but not least the R40 Tour in June. By far my most influential band. I have to put RUSH at Number 1...
