Help Me Decide Which Les Paul to Buy - Part Deux

[Bytor1958]

I'm a bit short on baggy cutoff shorts. I pretty much live in Lucky jeans, and dress shirts for work. I also have a good amount of motorcycle gear.

Regarding my amp...it has 11 tubes. That's right folks! 11!

But does it go up to 11?

 

[Gtarzan81]

But does it go up to 11?

It does not. The 11 tubes thing is real though.
7-preamp
4-6L6

I really do need 2 stacks for my pending tour of Australia.

Anything less is just stupid.

It's not a 59 but I guess I can slum it with this :

That's a beauty.

Speaking of weird Teles, I want a cherry Tele with a mahogany neck through, and the whole thing horizontally chambered before the pieces are glued together. I have the cherry and the mahogany. I have no shop, no tools, no woodworking skills.

I have a slightly weird Tele... nothing as wild as your vision, but it does have an ebony fretboard with a 7 1/2 radius. The body is standard and the electronics are an improvement over the typical Fender rig. Sucker's gorgeous, too. Never saw a Telecaster quite like this one before.

Lt. Dave built mine. It is one of two Holy Grails I own, with the other being a Gibson ES 335 dot.

But I only got lucky with the 335. When it came to the Telecaster, I *knew* that what I'd end up with would be in a class all its own... which it is... because I had already seen and heard what comes out of Dave's shop.

You want a wild-ass guitar that's all about you? Nothing like a custom build to get you there!

Yep. I dreamed it up because I dislike the idea of a Tele with a cap. Drill it, glue it, route it. Maybe paint it.

I believe it was suggested by @Rotorhead to help me get that Jimmy Page tone.

Don't know about the Pagey toanz. But those PAF's made me sound good.....

thank you, Rob. I'm humbled..

 

[Bobby Mahogany]

Also the serious answer is I'd love a handwired 1959 or 1987 head but have nowhere to use it. I live in an apartment with the girlfriend and a cat.

Kick them out and turn everything to 10 motherfucker !!!

 

[Bobby Mahogany]

I like the 59s in my Epi better.

Yes, 59's.
The Holy Grail of cheap aftermarket pups.
I love them!

 

[LtDave32]

AHA!!! SO you're sayin' there is a chance that we could get cake from you?

AND we get the added bonus of having you yell at us to get off your lawn?

I'M IN!

No, there's no chance whatsoever .

And let's get this perfectly clear,

It is I who gets the added bonus of yelling at you to get off my goddamn lawn.

Damn kids..

Double negative... So you’re saying there’s a chance

 

[truckermde]

Double negative... So you’re saying there’s a chance

That's not a double negative.

A double negative would be something like:

"You don't get no cake!" = do get some

 

[acstorfer]

That's not a double negative.

A double negative would be something like:

"You don't get no cake!" = do get some

It’s a bit of a reach, but it doesn’t have to be a good one to get just a sliver of a chance.

 

[CRobbins]

Here's a rig for you. And, its only 5 grand.
