UPDATE Which one goes?? SOLD

[Bocc69]

I need to decide which guitar goes to a new home. This ain't easy, I've become attached to all of my guitars. They all play so well and each has its own character. As y'all know, they're part of the family. But, I'm at the point where I can't keep them all, and I'm gas, Gas, GASSING big time, and need to make room.

Sooooo, which member gets sent to the orphanage??

Well. I’d say the Strat needs to stay if for no other reason than it’s almost 30 years old. The SG should stay because it’s an SG. I have zero experience with LPs and anything Ibanez other than the bass I have. So......

 

[Thatbastarddon]

None of the above?

That is a tough one...you have so many good tools there. Not really any duplicates....although there are three super strats there, all are configured differently.

I couldnt make this choice man. Couldnt tell you to make a Sophies choice either. Its too painful lol

 

[Kerry Brown]

I’ve never gotten along with Les Pauls so for me the choice would be easy.

Exactly rite. I purposely get guitars that are different then the others. Maybe it's a justification mechanism, who knows. But they're all keepers.

Your even more rite with "none of the above"... however, I'm really doing it. My wife is in shock. It took me a week to decide to actually commit to the idea.

However, Don't think for a second there won't be inbound Greatness, lol

Yup. My thinking is, if I sell the lp, I'll never get one again. Everyone needs an LP in their arsenal, don't they?? I thought that was law... isn't it??? Oh boy, I better consult with an expert on this matter.

I'd get rid of the blue Ibanez on the left.

 

[Bocc69]

Those are 4 words that are all true. Definitely LOL, but truly painful!!

 

[Bocc69]

I'd get rid of the blue Ibanez on the left.

Not if you played it, Lol

Yeah, I’ll not soon forget the NGD shots that you posted of that one....especially the fretwork.

I’ve had a dozen Les Pauls. I never found one that felt right to me. I finally gave up. I had a mid 90’s LP special that was the best of the bunch but even it didn’t stick around. Maybe it’s the maple cap? Whatever it is they don’t feel comfortable to me.

Your not kidden bro. I hit lotto with that fret job. I actually talked to the guy today that did that work. I told him I need another just like that. Hint hint

That, right there, is off the table in this discussion. IMHO.

 

[Bocc69]

I personally love my frets like this, its exactly how I do them myself, but there are some around here that think these are too rounded and too shiny.

To rounded???. That's sorcery!!

 

[heltershelton]

um, i would sell my wife first if i was still married. that would make more room.

Hey, let's not casually gloss over the Birdseye maple. Hahahhahahahha
