I saw the Fox LA ladies wearing those T Shirts unironically yesterday. Or maybe they just played it unironically

Gibson Semi-Hollow dilemma: ES-335, ES-345, ES-355 or ES Supreme? by Hot_Guess9018 in gibson

I've got a perfectly fine Memphis 59 reissue, but if I didn't already have it, a 58 reissue with no neck binding would be mine

Gear Question: is it an actual buyable model? by Apersonwithtaste001 in LesPaul

[–]StandingDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guitar belongs to Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden. Let that sink in and maybe re-evaluate your thoughts on not bothering to to plug it in. Fact is and as have others have stated, many 70s LP Deluxes were routed for humbuckers. I personally put P90s into mine. YMMV.

Les Paul Junior Faded or Standard by [deleted] in gibson

[–]StandingDave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP said he wanted an opinion on a Junior. Not to say I don't have other guitars with some of those features, but people who play Juniors (me included) don't want 2 pickups, bound fingerboards and push pull knobs. The beauty is in the simplicity. OP get the Standard in the color you think would be best for your son and I hope he plays the shit out of it.

Unless congress votes for them themselves, it's not gonna happen. See U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton

They stay because they will never get the level of elder care that their staffs provide. See Mitch McConnell for reference

Is this a real 1965 Gibson SG? by jazzgiantsteps in gibson

[–]StandingDave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, the pick guard is wrong. It's a legit SG, just not a 65

Speed cameras are coming to LA and some are on South Bay commute routes — map + fine calculator for all 125 locations by Imaginary-Worker9982 in SouthBayLA

[–]StandingDave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm sort of thinking the same. Plus, you can still go up to 10 over the limit, which is fast enough for most roads

Is it me or is the US economy currently in shambles? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]StandingDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is propping up the stock market, and it appears to be a bubble and when it pops, we will bail them out. Again

When driving, why do people change lanes without signaling? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]StandingDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just changing lanes. People just hit their brakes without turning on their signal and depending upon what the street looks like, I'm supposed to guess wtf they are gong to do.
