Sneaking Another Guitar in the House

Описание: Luckily this looks enough like my Black Gibson Les Paul that the guitar detective may be thrown off until tax time next year when I will explain that I did indeed buy another guitar at the pawn shop but I cleaned it up and sold it and made off with a small profit. Then she will love me and I will hand her a $100 bill. But if I told her today she'd kick me to the curb. It's a dangerous business being a married man and guitar addict. I'm careful not to lie, just not tell her everything until the deal is done. And I do come out ahead a vast majority of the time. If I screw up, I admit that too. This score is going to be a winner. The kids in my old neighborhood had similar looking guitars. Not quite as nice as a Gibson but something about an old import Les Paul copy I find really appealing. You can cut loose and just play these things without being hesitant. A proper Gibson kind of makes me stop and think and that's not always good. Just play! So on this video I had just brought the guitar into the house through the back door after stashing it in my car over night. I plug it in for the first time and was surprised that the neck pickup seems to work. There is plenty of wear on the guitar but no sign of blatant abuse. I like the brass and gold hardware. The little switches seem to do something cool but not sure what. Let's take it to Max my local electronics man and see if he can get the electronics to function perfectly or I'll fiddle with it some too. Intonation and playability are not too far off. Wild guitar safari is always an exciting sport!
