Check Out My New Axe .... It's Finally On the Way !
Forget about politics - the big news this week that I finally sold my Epiphone Les Paul on Ebay, so tonight, I got the girl that has everything I want and need.... The ESP MH103 QM !!
Yes, my Les Paul was a great guitar. It looked great, it was a classic, and it looked great on the wall or on the guitar stand. It's like dating a supermodel - that you have nothing in common with. It had a great, fat sound, but it didn't suit my playing style. It fed back too much, it buzzed a bit from my naturally conductive hands. And it was SOOOOO HEAVY. Once, it broke the strap off during a show, and I just caught it before the headstock would've hit the ground and snapped. So, my eyes strayed towards another....
I saw the ESP, and I said that's the one.. Maple neck, 24 frets, one quad rail humbucker and two single coil pickups, and what I missed most - a locking nut Floyd Rose Tremolo. Yeah , divebombs and harmonics again. Best of all, it was a blem model, so it was only $269 - 20 bucks less than I sold the Les Paul for ! Like anyone who just fell in love, i'm very excited. I'm sure I'll find something wrong with it , but I'll worry about that later....

I guess we can add your name to other greats like Bo Diddly,Jeff Beck,Jimmy Hendrick and Gene Simmons. Right after I join Elton John and Billy Joel on their tour of great rock pianists...teg
ReplyDeleteI wasted 15 minutes trying to find that Wayne's World clip before giving up. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteI am still looking forward to that live show you hinted about not long ago.
Yeah, we're still searching for a date. I'm guessing June 26th at Marshall's on Second Loop, but it's not official yet.
