Smitty's Bigsby Christmas

[smitty_p]

So, here are the gifts to me this Christmas:

My daughter got me the Lava Lamp (she knows me!) and my wife got me the Les Paul Vibramate/Bigsby Kit!

I gotta go help clean up wrapping paper now.

I guess I'm modding a guitar today!

I'll be back with post-installation pics.

NIce!

 

[jjudas]

Cool gifts!

 

[smitty_p]

Okay.

That was easy.

Here's the Bigsby-ficated Les Paul!

I'll have to post better pics when the sun moves a little so I don't have so much light coming from the front.

Anyway, 'twas quick little mod.

Holycrap!
That silverburst looks really nice with all that iron on it!
Stunning looking guitar.

 

[Tony M.]

I'll carry it further.
That is the best looking LP I have ever seen.
(Remember, eye of the beholder.)

Thanks Tony!

Believe it or not, I'm not all mischief and mayhem!

I'm liking this. I'll be playing this guitar more often, now.

Is it weight relieved?

and it is indeed pretty.

No. Not at all. The Bigsby brings it over 12 pounds!

And, thanks for the compliment, David.

You're a very Bigsby kind of guy since you already have one on your SG guitar. Congrats on your Christmas present and say hi to Mitchy Hedburg for me...otay?

Not to be outdone...the Lava Lamp is now going full tilt!

 

[Tony M.]

The lava lamp kind of brings back kind of memories from kind of
interesting times that I kind of may or may not have had, kind of.

Give it time. You'll get there.

That's kind of vague Tony Manhattan. Can you elaborate on your lava lamp memories...kind of?

Most Exellent Smitty

Looks good, smitty. I'm not a huge fan of the Bigsby (too much steel for me) but I must admit, that Lester looks "Da Bomb"! Good job, brother!

 

[JohnnyGoo]

[eSGEe]

GORGEOUS -- just fooking GORGEOUS

True. Vibratos, in general, and Bigsbys, in particular, aren't for everyone.

Thanks for the kind words.

Heavy axes just ain't my bag.

I thought they had to be heavy to play HEAVY METAL.................

I could be wrong???

I still dont care --- give me the fat chicks
