Re: Ultimate SDUG Les Paul Poll!!!!!!
really is a stellar assortment- I would buy this calendar for $19.99 unconditionally- could someone get on that?
am i not suppose to let the pickups influence my vote? that wdnt be realistic at a forum like this...
I can tell you rite now, if i broke into house and had only time to steal one, im pretty sure id steal the wrong one, for value or tone. so before i vote, i am gonna vote- 1-10. great assortment. I hate those arty books and calendars of guitars and stuff so rare you cant picture anyone playing it. ...like a 1903 tripleneck 11.5 string hollowbody with a glass body, silver pickguard and a carving of the history of Siam on the fretboard. This assortment def makes people think of LesPauls as beautiful things that get played by human fingers, which is what SHOULD make them more beautiful.
2 observations- no white or cream?, shows what i know which is not a whole lot, frankly.
also, Black beauties, i know of vaguely, but do they require 3 pickups or not? not that i care all that much, i just wanna picture the right thing when i hear about em...
i voted for the studio for reasons as cretinous as im in "sans-binding is cool" phase this week AND bcuz i heard a guy, just some guy, at gc just grab one like it off the shelf, plug and play THE sah-HWEE-test licks, like he was crying quiet audio tears to himself. And he didnt even know at all how good he was, people from all over the whole store had to take turns to tell the guy not to put it down, to keep playing cuz it sounded stellar, like Billy Gibbons trying to pat Gary Rossington on the back reassuringly after a flood. So now instead of Page, or Slash, or Joe Walsh, when it comes to LPauls i picture just some guy just droppin his mesquite flavored phrases.
