Backstory???

I'm visiting my uncle in Chattanooga and he took me to a buddies house to jam.

His buddy Randy was a saxophone player who had to hang it up after he got copd a few years back (he's 75)

Randy has a detached garage on his property with a fully stocked jam room.. guitars, keyboards, drum kit, etc...

He had several old (and new) guitars hanging on the wall, but the custom was just sublime.

We spent the afternoon jamming, telling stories and sharing a couple barley pops. I told him on my way out that if he ever ran out of room, I'd take the LP off his hands for him

Someone in another thread asked about this guitar, a 1960s MIJ Idol “bizarre” guitar, so I took it for a spin. The rig is a temporary work station at which I’m comparing four versions of the big box Memory Man units. Sharp eyes will notice a 1960s Silvertone guitar and its “amp-in-case,” with which I began the Memory Man comparison some weeks ago and preempted for the Idol. I guess I got a thing for these old oddities!

Holy guacamole! That's freakin' wild. Now I know where the term "axe" being used for a guitar come from.

A 2013 Gibson L4-CES. Don't need no amp nor cable. This mofo's as LOUD as some acoustic guitars even when it's not plugged in.

have seen so many guitars over the years take tumbles that I am OCD about how
they are handled. Even if they are not my guitars.

^^^Yeah, trufe dat. Especially when they are not my guitars.

WHAT CHORD IS HE PLAYIN ?

Hard to tell which strings his fingers are on. However it could be a F#13 chord. F# E A# D#. Or the same chord as a Gb13 voiced Gb Fb Bb Eb. I see that chord in funk and R&B tunes sometimes.

Nah, that's the pantydropit scale.

Do you have a molten lead pencil?

I sold ALL of my Gibsons in 2023 to help me to buy my Son's first car and me an Harley. […]

Harley Benton?

I've been playing my '93 MIJ '52 Reissue partscaster Telecaster. With its 33 year old body and ebony board American Elite Telecaster compound radius neck it's an absolute joy to play. Great tone and ergonomics.

Naah, I guess I got the camera so close when I took the pic that it magnified it like that.

I never played a top tier acoustic like a Martin etc. I rarely play acoustic now, but my Faith suits me. Plays well and sounds really nice. Build quality looks decent to me
