Re: So... funny things about Les Pauls from a Stratman.
Point:
Fenders and Gibsons are two very different guitars. That's why they are named Fender, and Gibson. This is like taking a bite from an apple and saying, "This thing sucks! It tastes nothing like an orange!". Each guitar is to be approached and played differently. If some one likes one over the other, then great. The two can still make music together when played in a band. They don't say OMG! I refuse to perform on the same stage with that -----! Why can't we do the same?

Blueman is a sarcastic guy who doesn't know how to use smiles (& that other cartoon stuff) to let us know when he's kidding. So he assumes that the average member can figure that out on his own. Maybe Blueman assumes too much.
Like Jack Nicholson's character said in 'Goin' South', "Sure I got my faults, but I got my ways."

We'd all get along fine on stage, and in person. Online, everyone hides behind their keyboard and their personality changes. So don't sweat it, daddy-o. We're cool.

If you're going to prod people, expect to get prodded back from time to time.

Re: So... funny things about Les Pauls from a Stratman.
I love it! Some guys take it too serious. Nothing I love more than slinging insults back & forth in jest. I've done that all my life. Some of my best friends have had total opposite opinions from what I do.
Case in point: There's a current post that says something like "I'm not liking the sound of one of my Tele's now". Now when I saw something like that, I used to pop in a short post like (just to add some levity to an otherwise dry thread): "Well neither do I!", or "It's a Fender, what do you expect?" You know, kind of Groucho Marx style. But do people see the humor in that? No. All hell would break loose & I'd get a brick thru my window later that night. So I've had to tone down my humor or take out more life insurance.

Re: So... funny things about Les Pauls from a Stratman.
I dont have much prob bouncing from a Les to a strat type.. However, my Burny LP tips the scales at about 11 lbs and my ole back has had 3 surgeries, so that makes for a bit of fatigue. But I suck it up, cuz it plays so good I get in the zone...
Pierre, maybe you should send me the Edwards and get you an Epiphone twisted sister model with the tummy cut..?? :friday:

Re: So... funny things about Les Pauls from a Stratman.
I cant handle super thick necks. My LP is comfy, my Burny is pretty fast. And the Edwards I had was about medium. Maybe you would be more comfy with a different model?

Re: So... funny things about Les Pauls from a Stratman.
Huh?
I never thought A Les Paul to be a "man's guitar".
After all it IS Madonna's guitar of choice
Yeah, but all the recent pics of her, her arms and legs are getting all bulky and ripped. Another tour playing the Les Paul, she will look like Zakk wylde in a sequined outfit and changing her name to Mandonna

Oh I know we would bro. I've enjoyed your comments on these boards for a while, then again I have a very dry senses of humor as well. I was just saying that when it comes to axes, whatever floats your boat. All that matters is the music.
