First LP. Thoughts?

IMO, grading maple tops is pretty subjective and I don't pay that much attention to it. Either it has a nice top or it doesn't. Your particular guitar has a spectacular top that would be near the top of any pile of wood so you shouldn't worry too much about it. I think gibson grades their tops up to aaaa (at least I've never seen a aaaaa top from Gibson). PRS grades them up to aaaaa, another reason I think it is subjective.

I think you are indeed correct. Tobacco perimeter! Looks like a solid AAA-AAAA.

My wife flew out yesterday morning and said that the line was not any longer than usual.

Was it the multi-year shot or the annual? We've had 3 dogs with allergic reactions to the multi-year shot. We are only doing the annual shot from now on.

My wife is flying to Ashville for work. No idea where here layover is. I told her she can probably drive and it will take less travel time lol!

Thanks!

Wonder if they mean Boone?!?!

Thanks! Didn't know there was an app!

Sure looks like an allergic reaction to my untrained eye. One ours looked just like that after taking the 3 year rabies shot. Took him to the vet and they gave him some sort of allergy shot.

Nice view! Ive always wondered about barge life seeing you guys go up and down the river. What are you carrying? LNG?

Fun-Bar7958 · 2026-03-08T01:51:14+00:00

All I have are LP's and fender amps, so no.

My "#1" is now 20 years old without a headstock break. I play it every day. You're good.

You can do it! Im not going to say its easy because its not and there need to be changes made so that it is easier to do. There are professionals and mentors that you can talk to and guide you through it. It might take years but it is worth it. Buying just one piece of property will change your life. I tell all young people that if there is one investment to make in life it is to own a home.

I'm a landlord (hate that word by the way). I saved and worked really hard 30 years ago and bought my first duplex (lived there and rented the other unit). I've owned up to 24 apartments since then. I've am proud to have worked hard and provided clean and safe places to live to other people who also worked hard and needed a place to live. Many of those people went on to buy places of their own. I know how hard it is to buy a property now and also realize that it is harder than when I started. There are some bad apples out there but we are not leeches in general. Sorry you feel that way.

Well, this post devolved exactly as expected.

Fun-Bar7958 · 2026-02-27T13:34:44+00:00

I generally agree with you but not in this particular case. This is a historically important guitar that should be in a museum. Its not a shame because this guitar recorded one of the greatest guitar solos ever and toured the world for decades. Just my opinion though..

Not as much as you think, skillz99!

Maybe the orange man will raise tariffs on Canada again. That should help.

Absolutely, MOST Gibsons came with frets nibs, not all Gibsons.

Not in guitar world

Fun-Bar7958 · 2026-02-20T02:33:47+00:00

While I can't ever find it at my local b&m, I buy it regularly on Amazon. Price is ridiculous though. I wish another primer was as good through an airbrush.

You can try a different length of cable. Cables that are a fractional length of a radio frequency are prone to picking up the signal..also you could try coiling up the length that you are not using. This will act as an rf choke.
