Udo is the man!! He gets that good old time Les Paul tone that I love! I never get tired of his playing and wish his clips were longer. :dude:

So i have some news for you. Udo is right now making a DVD. I saw some scenes from the film and i think this is going to be a really nice thing.
He is ( i hope so ) featuring my CC1, my conversion and one of my amps (Vampower)

Main theme is how to achive a new guitars making a better sound....better said he is trying to make the cc1 sounding the same direction like the old ones.

Again he told my that my a old gt is a reference and he puts this guitar on the same level like Gladys and is better than the Bets Toler LP and the Bearded Lady.Made me somehow really proud.

...If you love Paul Kossoff and Peter Green...well you may just shed a tear. This cat is soooo much like Koss in this clip it's a little frightening to me. The guy even phyiscally Looks like Paul....eerie and beautiful to see and hear....

He's young. Hopefully he finds his own sound and leaves Kossoff in the past.

This guy is good!
Your Goldtop sounds great as well, I wouldn't be surprised if JB offered to buy it from you after the show!

Wow he's great! I didn't know music like this was still being made. I thought it was all Lady Gaga and Lil Wayne and shit like that. I have renewed hope and I'm a new fan, Jimmy Bowskill!

Yesterday i met Jimmy Bowskill and i offered him to play his show with my old conversion. He just said let me try the guitar at the soundcheck and then i wll decide. So the he started playing and after two licks he smiled and said, "hey this sounds better than mine". In the end he played many songs at the show with my les paul.
Before the show we had a long chat about guitars and gear. He told me he still owns a 68 Custom, he fitted his double neck SG with T-Tops and very interesting he nearly changed nothing on his main cherry sunburst.
I like this guy and that guitar of yours sounds great. Did it make you nervous when he gave the neck a little tremlo bend in the intro?
