i've been on a picture-taking kick lately, due in part to the nice weather we've been having here over the last few weeks. here's some new pics of an old friend; my '89 LP Custom that some of you might recognize from past photos. it's seen a lot of stage and studio action, for sure. re-fretted twice. weighs about 13 lbs. i played this guitar almost two hours a night, every night, for five years straight. it never let me down. along with my Silverburst, this one is on my very short "buried-in-coffin" list.

for some reason, this is one of my favorite pics that i've taken. i think it's because i can see the christmas lights from the tree reflected in the finish and it reminds me of the holidays last year. overall, the picture just gives a calming old-soul vibe that i really enjoy. no, i ain't been drinkin'. just drunk on thoughts.

here you go, Jkater. this one gets a lot of playing time, actually. the guy that put it together did an amazing job, and i can play on this U-shaped neck for hours without even feeling the time tick by.

thank you, sfb!

Just out of curiosity, what kind of camera are you using for these pics?
hey, thank you for subscribing! I'll keep adding to the thread as inspiration hits. others are certainly encouraged to share their favorites as well.

nothing special at all. i'm using a Canon 8.0 megapixel point and shoot, and some of these are my older Canon 5.0 megapixel camera (i misplaced the charger for the 8.0 and couldn't find it for weeks, so had to go back to the 5.0). i'm not sure anyone could really tell the difference for what i'm doing.

Is there a noticeable difference in string tension and/or tone when you have the strings go over the stop tailpiece?

 

 

not really to my ears, tonewise, but it does tighten up the low E a little more, IMO, tension-wise. i am entirely inconsistent when it comes to wrapping or not wrapping. some of my guitars have it; others don't. there's no science to it.
