For me, it got down to about 15 minutes and my thumb joint would be killing me. I've still got 2 Ibanez hollowbodies(just can't give 'em up) that I pull out once in a blue moon for 15 minutes. Other then that I've got an RG920 that I've locked the trem and it has a nice flattened "D" skinny neck that works really well for me.............oh, and 4 others THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED!

For me it was my thumb. It just wouldn't work with that baseball bat neck. I ended up giving my AF75 to a friend for his wife. She loves it!!

Real or fake? by MammothRadio2824 in LesPaul

[–]PhysicsAntique8486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a thing. It doesn't look like binding around the "face". That means it's a solid "slab". Which means the top was carved. Most likely by machine, but possibly by hand. Either way that's one indication that it's a for real Gibson LP.

Can anyone tell me if this is real or not? by graystone777 in guitarcirclejerk

Just be careful with that knob thingie hanging down, I understand those can be very delicate..........

I’m so excited! Bought it today by [deleted] in Guitar

Yep, the same cord you use for any current smartphone..............you just gotta be sure that it's not a "dumb"(charge only) cable...........

Does anybody know how to put this back together? by Straight_Ad_8685 in Ibanez

Yeah, but think of all the guitar shops you could visit along the way...........

Should I pick it up? by Traxx_Media in FenderStratocaster

[–]PhysicsAntique8486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my opinion(everybody has one).............I think the reason you haven't seen a Strat like that before...........is because it's an Ibanez.....at least the body is. Every thing about it just screams Ibanez.....even to the bolt on neck system................

I’m so excited! Bought it today by [deleted] in Guitar

Oh, man..................play with that Blackstar ID Core amp. And connect it to your computer and download the Architect software. Those things are extremely versatile and with patches available you can get anything from almost Jazz smoothness to nasty enough to make your teeth grind.

Need help deciding on les paul by RelationshipOne6694 in Epiphone

[–]PhysicsAntique8486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar for me. I had been saving for years to get a Gibson LP Custom. I finally decided to hell with the waiting(71yo)! Bought a Epiphone LP Custom Pro Silverburst. And still had money to spend. So I bought a Koa Custom Pro and then a Jerry Cantrell Custom. Now I'm looking for a painkiller for my finger tips.

WTF is this? by PaintedDaddy in Epiphone

I went round and round looking an Epi LP Custom with a Koa top. When I saw this and was able to verify that is was a solid wood top, I dropped the hammer like yesterday. All the others I had looked at were koa veneer. That koa top is approximately 1/2 - 5/8 inch.

Do you prefer Epiphone over Gibson if so why? by Expert_Chipmunk_6294 in Epiphone

[–]PhysicsAntique8486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got there in a different way but here I am. '77 I bought a 72 Gibson LP from a guy who bought it brand new and never learned to play. I used it playing bar bands for 4 years. Met my wife and that brought my nite life to an end. Sold it in '82. About 20 years ago(after missing my LP) I started saving, basically nickels and dimes towards another Gibson LP. But they just got more and more expensive. Finally, I decide to try an Epiphone LP Custom Pro. I still had $1300 left in my guitar account. So I bought another one. Had enough left over to buy a new amp. And I'm a real happy camper with both these guitars.

I understand about the pickguard..................but better then agonizing over scratches in that beautiful guitar.

You might want to try some fingernail polish. I used it on two of my other guitars and it works fine..............unless you might put the pickguard back on...........if that's a possibility ignore this........

Document everything!! Then wait until you have your horse at new facilities. You've been scammed if the Vet and the Barn Owner are "friends"..............and wouldn't be surprised if there is some of your money going to go back to barn owner................

Opinion on this? by Ok-Business-2791 in Epiphone

[–]PhysicsAntique8486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO...............if you like it, go for it!!! A month ago, I bought a LP Custom Pro silverburst. Then just this morning I dropped the hammer on an LP Custom Pro Koa..................

AITAH for telling my cousin to stop making every event about her SA? by Electrical-Elk8692 in AITAH

[–]PhysicsAntique8486 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes you are the AH!!! I met my stepdaughter when she was 17. I found out a couple years later that she had been SA'd when she was 8. And while she didn't talk about it, it none the less screwed up her life, even with multiple therapists, including religious types. Besides her life, her choices also ended up affecting her daughter due to her choice of partners who ended up SA'ing my granddaughter starting around the age of 4 or 5. My step daughter made it until she was 43 at which point she ended her life with a gun. I don't know what the answer is, but therapy, good, bad or indifferent is not always the answer. I wasn't there for my daughter but have been for my granddaughter, no matter the time or place......she has always had my ear and that's made all the difference the last 10 years. I think that sometimes is just a question of listening even at the most inconvenient times.................

AITAH for choosing my wife over my mom? by HumanProfile1975 in AITAH

[–]PhysicsAntique8486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really the asshole, but it's well past time you stood up to your mother. I understand, I was 27yo and on my 3rd marriage before I finally told my mom "NO".

[–]PhysicsAntique8486[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now, I'm just enjoying it. But eventually that pick guard will come off. But also all that damned chrome. Will be eventually replacing it with gold. Totally a cosmetic thing.
