Hard tail Condor Les Paul for me sirs. Thank you.

too soon

Never too soon to honor such a great player. God bless him

bought a used Wolfgang for cheap a few weeks ago

sounds great, feels pretty good

hate the Floyd Rose

even if I deck it I hate it

hate tuning it

hate changing strings

hate palm muting on it

basically nothing can be done about it without filling in the cavity in the body and putting a different bridge on

never play it because of the stupid Floyd Rose

Probably just gonna give it to my dad cuz he loves his Wolfgang and now he’ll have two

My Noventa Jizzmaster showed up, finally after 3 days of the tracking not updating. It’s better than I was expecting. The little shop I ordered from off Reverb (Rainbow Guitars Tucson AZ) did a free setup and did a nice job. Despite shipping to MI with our near freezing temps it was still damn close to in tune out the box. I was having doubts as I waited but the 3 P90s in Strat configuration is really something unique. Maybe it’s the combo of that, the body size/weight and the supremely comfy roasted maple neck? Tremolo stays in tune but only goes one way (my Vintera Jag has a bit of play the opposite way which I’ve gotten used to). Between this and the Player 1 Strat I got last month I’ll be playing five times as much as I would otherwise, my hands are already sore from increased playing, I expect my calluses to build up to the density they were back in my heyday. I’ve had great luck with Mexican Fenders lately, this, the Ltd P1 Strat and my Vintera Jag are all a few notches above my 04 Mexistrat. As for mods I think I’ll throw a F stamped neck plate on this to match my Fiesta Red P1 and maybe some locking tuners if I get around to it. Otherwise, unless this takes a horrible turn and settles extremely poorly it plays great as is.

I bought a Les Paul custom from Rainbow while on a business trip. Good people.

I’ve always seen Floyd Roses as souping up a car or motorcycle, sure it increases the performance capabilities but it also creates a whole host of potential issues. Are these back en vogue because the Hapa twink from Polyphia or something? I’m probably out of touch when it comes to what the current trends are in the virtuoso realm of the guitar world
