Yes that is my 2006 Les Paul Gold Top Deluxe. Very sweet and after I had the fretboard milled by Mark Erlewine of Erlewine Guitars Austin Texas, it plays by itself. Too bad Gibson does not set up thier guitars very well anymore. I mean it "met" thier standards just did'nt meet mine!

And yes that is me on stage! 2008 CD Release!

Very true on the resources involved. Many years and commitment involved.

I have heard that about some of the newer Gibson's factory set-up being "less than satisfactory". A couple of LP forums I belong to often refer to their newer Gibby's in that manner. And as is your LP, they just love 'em when set up the proper way. I haven't tried a newer LP, so I can't say one way or another, as my newest is a '90. Anyway, great pics, great studio (you must be very proud!!), great guitars!!!

Beautiful colors on that guitar ABB!! You must be soooo proud of him!!!

Hey there cuda34067, I'll tell ya, back in the middle to late 80's when I was but a young man, I did a lot of Zydeco music in Ann Arbor at the Blind Pig, Ricks American Cafe, at the Frog Island Festival in Ypsi, Ricks in Lansing and at a bunch of outdoor festivals in and around SE Michigan. Sadly, Zydeco sort of fell out of favor and you can hardly even see the big acts come through anymore, except for Buckwheat, he still comes to the Ark in Ann Arbor and to the Magic Bag in Ferndale. Gone are the days of Beau Jocque, Terrence Simien, and Chubby Carrier, who would just flat out demolish any venue they came too. I used to work the Frog Island Fest and after Terrence came to town, we would always have to re-tighten the stage the morning after his performance!!!

As for my band now, we have been pickin' it up since 1989, and can be found all over town. Go to companyofstrangers.com or check out our facebook page, Company of Strangers music. We have a small lull right now, but we always do a lot of outdoor festivals in the summertime. FYI, I'm the handsome one on the upright!!!LOL!!! Maybe we'll see you around town sometime, just come up and introduce yourself!!! Geof

Thanks for the update and website. I'll be visiting soon to find out more info. Hopefully see you sometime this summer. Thanks again Geof!!

Here are mine.

 

[Longgone]

Here`s my two main electrics, both are 1990 Paul Reed Smiths. The left one is a Custom 24 and the right one is a CE-24.

 

[Slantsick]

Not a good pic, but here's my Squier accoustic in a "still life" :-D I took the morning after a particularly good party last summer.

 

[FASTBACK340]

Fastback, great collection of guitars and basses man!! Are there any plans to expand your "family" in the future?

Well.... my 8 string is off to Michigan to a new owner and the 5 string Yamaha is still on e-Bay. But here's my newest addition: 2007 Ibanez BTB 405QM. This thing is a MONSTER...... Best sounding guitar I've owned yet.

Tonight I get to un-cork it at rehearsal. We're auditioning new drummers and this will be my first time running it through some horsepower. I can't wait until I use it live with my current stage gear.

Say hello to my little friend..... Gallien Kruger 1001RB amp, G-K 4 X 10" w/horn, and a single 18" Carvin. Yeah.... I can move some sound.

I also use a Boss Tuner, Overdrive, & Chorus. An Ernie Ball Volume pedal, and a Zoom effects processor round out my audio assault. 8)

As a reply to my own post I must say this:

I might grow old, but I'll never grow up.....

Mine.

Self-taught to a certain point, but starting lessons today for the rest :cheers:

 

[pastortom1]

Here's a few.......The latest custom Strat project is first, then a classic Silvertone Semi-Hollow (beautiful Jazz tone), my Precision Bass, my custom-shop Strat, and an Italia Rimini 12 string (best 12 on the market, in my opinion). When I ain't buildin' cars, I'm buildin' guitars.
