Lesters and Such

[Axe]

I see the "Chinese" chatter in the Cinci/Browns MNF thread and thought I'd share this..

I walked out my back door one morning and on my deck was a box that had been delivered by DHL and it was obviously a guitar.. I was stumped because I had nothing inbound. No purchases, no trades.. This is what was in the box, shipped from China.. Shockingly, it's not a bad guitar. The electronics are shit but the neck,frets and construction aren't bad.

I used the Les Paul I just posted years ago on this track for rhythms.. I don't think I used it on the solo but my memory is a lil fuzzy ?

This is the first installment of a 30 minute trilogy we did on the first cd..

Probably closing in on 10 yrs old at this point..

Here's a crazy idea I'm working on lol...

[Orion]

Was rooting around the case candy bag for the trem arm.  I'd never put it on.  When I come across the little thing wrapped in paper that I'd never noticed before.  About the size of a hotel soap.  I unwrap it and gasp!  It's the ash tray!

The thing I hate about Ash tray covers is... They negate palm muting...

[Orion]

Yup.  But they look cool

And in the  "and such"  department the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06,  in Torch Red ..... oh  yeah.

Couldn't get into the fuckin thing so...

[mjp28]

Yes that can be an issue at times ...... square steering wheel is a hint.

I love SG's... The necks are a bit cumbersome for me because of the amount of shoulder on the neck... But I love the sound...

The necks are a bit

Yeah, that's a thing with SG's.  The neck wants to dive.  You have to use a grippy backed strap.  And then the placement of the strap button makes you get a good view of the back of the neck with the face of the guitar tipped away from you.  But it's a great sitting guitar.

I knew all of the negatives because I used to own one years ago but I traded it in on something because I found that I didn't like chunky necks and really tall frets.  This one, of course, is a slim C neck and medium jumbo frets...which is what I like.  And it comes with the P90's like my old one did.  I liked the sound of the old one...and I like the sound of this one.  I just wonder what it would sound like with Seymore Duncan Antiquities in it....

Strap came in today.  Truss rod cover, the other day.

Dude that is a wicked look

It's a Perri's strap.  Nice leather.  Nice grippy suede inside.  Perfect for an SG (half, dumb luck).  80 bucks on their site.  I got the last one on Amazon for $28.  (the other half)    Gotta tell ya though, it doesn't look good with the Brown jersey.

Thank to Fedex, This is what my SG looked like when they were done with it

And luckily I know a very good Gibson certified luthier that put her back together again
