Members Kuz929 Posted June 8, 2012 Members Share Posted June 8, 2012 Ever since I started my new job, I've gotten to play some of the most amazing guitars out there. A '59 LP jr, '01 59RI, '67 ES330, a TON of 70s strats, and an early 60s 335. I know some people may not really believe that some of those guitars are really worth all that much money, but WOW. there's something about an old guitar, man. Nothing like it, really. I once was lost, but now am found. pics or it didnt happen? and this LPjr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Snappy Hat Posted June 8, 2012 Members Share Posted June 8, 2012 You find out that 70s strats dont deserve the bad rap they get ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kuz929 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 8, 2012 You find out that 70s strats dont deserve the bad rap they get ? What I've found so far is that back before everything was super-automated, guitars on the production line can vary A TON! Vintage Gibsons can have a neck angle of anywhere from 1-3 degrees! I've so far been impressed with the CBS era strats that Ive gotten my hands on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GreatDane Posted June 8, 2012 Members Share Posted June 8, 2012 It may have been all the mojo talking, but that LP jr was, dare I say, a life changing experience. The way it feels and the way its balanced is just something else. Never had a guitar that just felt like it was part of me when I played it. The resonance is unbelievable and it just plays like nothing I've ever picked up. I didn't even miss the neck pickup. the tone knob is all you need. I've also discovered I LOVE 50s baseball bat necks Don't get me wrong, the 335s were up there, too. But man... that LPjr.. i think this new job is creating a monster. and i like it. more, please.

Members Kuz929 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2012 Today I spent some time with some teles Had kind of a slow day, so i got to have me some fun. '76 Tele Ash custom Awesome neck on this guy. Not too thick, not too thin. The wide-range 'bucker is something else. smoother than creamy peanut butter. And there was this '51 Nocaster reissue. wow. just, wow. You thought you've played a baseball bat neck? Think again. This thing may as well have been the whole maple tree! And I loved it!

Members Kuz929 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Today I decided to have some semi-hollow fun A 1980 (I believe) ES335 with Bill Lawrence PAFs this thing SINGS! Really love the neck on this one. Small frets, but I started to dig it. Nice warm throaty tone, but it still has bite to it. I love when you can get that *snap from the neck pup Here's a pretty rare one - a 1973 Les Paul Signature. This has some really cool PUPS in it. There's one universal volume pot, and one tone pot. The bottom pots are rotary switches. One switches between having the pups in or out of phase, and the other one lets you set the resistance of the pots on the fly from 50k to 200k to 500k. some REALLY cool sounds to be had out of this guy And this G&L Legacy HB. Just cause I love G&L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
