my very first post at MLP was in the vintage section.. I knew nothing about Les Pauls and I figured my 1973 Custom I had just picked up was vintage... boy was I wrong... the cork sniffers quickly shot me down and made it clear my 40 year old guitar was not vintage, not original spec and in there eyes a piece of junk.... I remember how bothered I was and how I started to question weather or not my stunning Les Paul was any good, I quickly came to my senses when I plugged her in and played... a real beauty she is..... cork sniffers will always be, just don't let them discourage you and what you personally like.

While I own some nice Lesters, I can hang all over MLP. I share photos, art, and other things. I like hangin' out here when time allows.:thumb:

I'd consider it rude if someone who hadn't even touched my guitar deigned to lecture me about its shortcomings. Such presumptuousness borders on arrogance and has no place in a celebration, to my mind.

... and usually they can't play for shit.

Nonsense.

Edit. Also the first entry in my new book "How to be an asshole"

It ranks right up there with "honesty is the best policy" ...

as used by small minded spiteful bitches who hide behind it to say all sorts of uncalled for nasty shit.

Honesty is the best policy. But, there's a time, place, and method to doing it right.

Pa Thump used to tell me growin' up, "Diplomacy is the art of telling a man to 'Go to Hell', and have him looking forward to the trip."

On an NGD where it ain't my taste of guitar, I stay out ... or I find something I like and mention that. Even if the guitar is a dog, the new owner will discover that at leisure, and won't need my help.
