If you are a new guitar player, buy what you can afford! Don't get sucked into "it must made in USA/ or a tube amp" discussion. US does not automatically mean quality. Enjoy the experience of LEARNING music and guitar. That's what it's all about. Spend $$$ later if you choose.

Played one of these today. Holy shit! I'm sure they're not nearly as well built as the originals, but "that sound" is there. The volume will simply blow a 100W Marshall full stack away. Weighs 80lbs. Brash clean volume levels. Over the top everything. Fantastic!

Of th four options I was considering in my post last week, the Oxblood Figured Top Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s will be the chosen one. Worked the dealer down to $2300, so that is definitely a win. I should receive it sometime next week.

@BidenCare2 I am very liberal and he has been calling out the absurd things the Dem party have said and done that will cost them the 2022 elections. I don't always agree with him and nobody has to but he despises Trump and the MAGA crowd. He's on the correct path.

A lot of P90 comments about this guitar. Here you go. That's what a P90 sounds like. Fatter than a standard single coil and more growl than a humbucker. The bottom end tends to be really loose on P90s.

Finally got a good picture of her. I will say there is something about a vintage voiced neck pickup in a Les Paul. No matter how much gain you use, there is no hard bite. It is velvety smooth. Very nice tone.

A bitchin' guitar riff that to me, sounds even better on an acoustic guitar! Singing the chorus is above my pay grade. I can only do the low harmony and that sounds like ass by itself (at least when I do it...a lead singer, I am not so yes, even the verse is rough at best).

@BBeshoar @EricHughesMi That last sentence is huge and I have advised that for years. Cost is not so important but you have to have someone guide you past horrible fret work, improper neck profiles and terrible playability. Learning on a guitar that plays like ass is very discouraging.
