I was looking up info on the Traditional Plus guitars on Google. The other Les Paul site came up first. I looked around and decided to join . . . but wait . . . all I got was "you're banned." What? I'm banned from a site I'm not a member of? I never seen anything like that.

Well, this site was a little below that one. I came here a looked around. I saw a post where someone had the same POS Harmony Silverburst guitar I had. I think there were only two of us in the world if you look on Google. So I tried to join here to say to him, "Hey, I have that guitar!" if that's what it can be called and this place let me sign up and join with no problems.

I used to watch Skynyrd videos when I didn't know a Fender from a Fernandes and wonder about the cherry red guitar in Rossington's hands, and when I found out it was a Les Paul, I needed to know more. A few years later I know a lot more, and still come by when I can to chat and learn about music in general.

I got into guitar in 2009 after not playing since I was a kid at school. My dream was to one day own a genuine Gibson Les Paul. When I finally got my hands on one I realised I needed to know a lot more about playing, music in general, and the guitar itself - and then amps, pickups, pedals, recording etc. etc.. Lo and behold, I found it all here on MLP - shed loads of it. And I'm very grateful for that and happy to pay for it.

But it's become more than that. I actually like hanging out here. There are some good people here. Don't post so much as others because I don't have so much knowledge (or time tbh) but I'm getting there.

The main problem with MLP is that it encourages you to keep wanting more... stuff.

For the free T-shirt.

 

[Kestrel]

There's a free t-shirt? Why was I not informed of this earlier?

In all seriousness, I had just bought my second guitar (an Epi Les Paul), and had not a single bloody clue what to do with it. Hell, I didn't even know what knobs were which at that point! (I'm a slow learner).

With nothing more than the headstock to go on, I ventured into the vast wastelands of the internet, braving many ads for Weight Loss and Viagra, encountering vicious shock sites. Eventually, beaten, weary and running low on both guitar strings and sanity, I found myself standing at the entrance to a giant temple. I entered, and proceeded to be squashed by guitars that rained from the sky.

Or maybe because I like to know stuff. Who knows?

When I was around 11 or 12 we were spring cleaning and I found a guitar case under my parents bed. It was/is a Gibson ES-125 that my dad bought in 1967. He only took a few lessons then tucked it away til I found it. That started my obsession. I still own that guitar plus an '08LP, 2SGs, 2Fender Strats, a Taki accoustic, and an epiphone SG. I am a Gibson lover and this forum is a great place for info. I wish I would have found it before I bought the 08...but it is a great instrument and I am working towards an historic.

To get away from Phil47... Damn, he was here as well!

 

[PunkerJon]

After a short time on the Gibson site I got bored, then a bunch dudes bailed and joined Gear Talk so I went there... That was fun but soon became a ghost town... So I came here and I learned a few things and saw alot of pics of guitars that all look the same (probably because most don't know how to quote a post and NOT quote every single frikin photo in the post they are quoting)... But now I just keep it to the backstage... I'm kinda bored looking at pitures of other peoples guitars unless its a build in the luthiers section... I hardly ever look at the other sections anymore...

You need another SG [/Satan]

You need another SG [/Satan]

yeah...I screwed up on ebay recently by bidding on two SG's, ended up winning both of them. I received the ebony version a couple days ago and its awesome. The cherry SG is still enroute, it's gonna be hard to decide which one to keep. Once I sell one of them I'm on the prowl for a Trad Pro LP.

i thought my little pony had gotten a les paul. i was very wrong. but this place is addictive.

 

[EasyAce]

Because, when I'm not playing my Les Pauls, I like to learn more about them and the music made with them and the other people who play them.
