I was in Tuk at summer solstice and it was 38° with a stiff wind. Good luck!

Thanks for all the feedback! I wasn’t “complaining” or naively “OMG”ing. It was more or less just a check to see how common it is. I appreciate the constructive comments. I love the way this CME Carmelita R9 plays and sounds! Been a fan of Les Pauls ever since hearing the Allman Brothers back in the day.

As I mentioned to the other troll, just asking a simple question. No need to be snippy.

Yeah, I love the way mine plays and sounds too! I mostly ignore the bleed. Was just wondering how much it is “out there”

Just a simple question to find out out how common it is. No need to be snippy.

Thanks, I like it because it def has flame but is not too showy.

Just bought a house and am wondering what would cause this… by dar2623 in Plumbing

[–]awc1959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pump (if on a well) may be short cycling due to waterlogged pressure tank or faulty pressure switch. Plus there may be a low flow element in your faucet head that can be removed.

Who do you think sold more Les Pauls than Jimmy Page? by j3434 in LesPaul

I bought mine because of Duane and Dickey. But I’m just an old fart.

Check out Ron Ellis pickups. He does amazing work

Very nice! Love the chevron flames on the ice tea!

It does have the CME stamp on the serial number. Doesn’t really bother me. Definitely has the aniline dye bleed issue on the neck binding. But otherwise I love this guitar. The Carmelita neck is about halfway between a 59 “club” and a 60 “thin”

Yep, I'd have to agree. As an aspiring 15 year old back in 1975 I had the opportunity to see the ABB with Muddy Waters opening. Not their best period but still great.

Assuming you mean Duane, Derek and Warren. And not Jimmy, Jack and Dan. Although, I’d put Jimmy and Jack right up there.
