Is owning LP's a sickness?

Re: Is owning LP's a sickness?

Don't think I'm completely dissing Gibson. I'm a huge Gibson guy but disregarding Fender is like disregarding the most important brand of musical instruments that has ever graced the industry.

Earth to Andrew, no one's 'dissing' or 'disregarding' Fender here. You''ve got a rambling defense for something that wasn't attacked. What I said didn't question Fender's contribution to musical history. How did you manage to come up with that? How about turning down the rhetoric and holding a normal conversation. You act like this is life and death. We're just guys talking, it's all opinions on everyone's part, and you get yourself all worked up. Chill out.

Gibson has chosen, all the way back to the 1950's, to make many distinctly different models of LP's, to reach as many players, and budgets, as possible. Maybe it was a good marketing move, maybe it wasn't. LP's may have the most legitimate variations of any guitar, who knows? Which would be why (in an attempt again to get back on topic) LP's would be particularly collectible to some people, and could be diagnosed as a 'sickness' like the OP suggested.

I'm not getting myself worked up. You consistently rip on Fender and it seems you have no basis to go on. The reason the history was brought into play is because you seem to think Fender has done nothing in regards to variety while Gibson has been releasing interesting new things all the time. Not true. After you "mentored" me, I saw how you act towards many different subjects. You are a very close minded, ignorant person.

Again, none of this was in my posts here, but don't let that stop you. My saying LP's may have more variety than other models, you take as a scathing attack on Fender (where did that come from?). Who's close-minded? You keep on and on, putting words in my mouth. Do you just feel the need to vent, regardless of what anyone else may or may not say? How many threads are you going to mess up with outbursts? The name calling is a nice touch, very mature. Do you think Seymour put this forum up so you can rant at fellow members?

Why don't you see if you can stay calm and respectful, and keep a sense of humor about all of this. We don't need the high school drama.

Seems about right. Have fun playing your Epiphones.

Let's start a collection and buy Andrew and Blueman each a PRS.

(By the way, am I the only one who hears the Star Trek pon far fight music when I read their posts?)

This is true. There really aren't enough cans of worms open in this thread.

PRS sucks!!!

LMAO! I was going to make a comment along these lines, but that says it well enough I think!

Let it go, guys. We all know damn well there's no room for differing opinions in the world of Blueman. It's his way or the highway and we're all retarded for not worshipping the ground he walks upon.

Today has been a great day on the forum.

Back on topic.. I love lps and wish I could afford more!!

Re: Is owning LP's a sickness?

Yup. Don't tell my finacee, but I'm eventually gonna have to get another one. The amount that I love the Tribute -- which is a lot -- has only made me want some other LP flavors as well. I used to have an Agile with a Custom and Distortion that was perfect for punk and metal. Might have to get something along those lines again.

Re: Is owning LP's a sickness?

Been through Strats, Teles (a lot) MusicMasters, Mustang, Epi LPs, Sheritons, Riviera, Firebird, a slew of LP copies (Univox, Dillion, Heritage), Gibsons; a few LPs with big sellers remorse, a 336 which I may be having sellers remorse...but I am now a sick LP whore. It's all I play and all I wanna play. I am sick, but it's OK.
