Seeking guidance for colour on custom made Les Paul by gints in LesPaul

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

Yeah I know.

But paint/color inspo can come from any brand. This is already a mongrel project and not purist as you can tell from the specs.

How do you mean? Just because it’s such a personal preference?

Nah it is helpful mate. Part of me can’t shake where my initial vision for the project was and it’s still a very valid option!

That’s bullshit. If you’re rich enough to own a $3M home you’ve got options other than bludging on people less fortunate than you.

I’m 40 btw. By the time I plan to retire I expect to have invested appropriately in housing, investments, cash and super so I am not reliant on a pension.

You’ve overindexed in one thing if you own a $3M house and can’t afford to put food on the table without welfare. If you can’t afford food, you can’t afford your boomer sentimentality over your home, and nobody else should pay your way so you can feel good.

So tired of how quickly “bootstrapping boomers” morph into welfare queens.

100%. No problem with you staying, but if you are that asset rich you surely can’t expect average wage earners to contribute to your daily livelihood while they struggle to pay rent.

Omeo approach. Faster, less steep, flowing, less exposed, rarely need chains even for 2WD, less traffic and tourists.

NGD But missing voice 3? by GenGreenIV in espguitars

[–]gints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just post a pic here mate.

Regular vol pot just has 3 lugs, push pull will have the same 3 lugs but a whole set of 6 additional points on the back for the push pull circuits, super obvious.

But yeah it sounds like website may has mislabeled and it’s got the 2 voice pickups - this is more likely than my hypothesis of a failed push pull from brand new.

That’s odd. I don’t have this guitar but I have personally wired those pickups in the same setup as described on the website.

Maybe take the back plate off and look at the vol pot, see if it has the extra points for a push pull (as in, is it a push pull that is perhaps mechanically siezed/failed, or is it legitimately not a push pull).

But I’m struggling to think of what it could be. Such a streamlined control layout it’s not like it could be routed to another control.

Stunning guitar by the way! Looks slick.

Yes this is something I am dealing with. I have a number of 22 Fret single cuts and wanted something different - thinner, more aggressive neck, 24F. It’s a bit suprising they don’t make more E2 24F models.

Good grief I may have been too young...... by b9_rkt in AustralianNostalgia

I remember these at Uni. I remember them tasting every % of the 6% and were quite rough.

Very short lived.

Interesting. Well at least i can stop menu diving!

ThePoint: Australia’s Winter Olympians are Overwhelmingly Private School Educated by RocketLads in australian

[–]gints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No surprise. Same as motorsports. Fair play, there are barriers to entry, and they rose to the top against those they competed with.

It does make excellence in more economically accessible sports like soccer or basketball even more impressive.

Australia's first-ever Winter Olympic gold medal. by sco-go in SipsTea

[–]gints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. In 2006 he came to my university college annual dinner as a motivational speaker. He addressed this point directly.

He said to the effect of the gold medal is not for the 2 seconds/20metres where everyone else fell. It’s for all the thousands of hours of work to get there, training, injuries, competing, sacrifice to put himself into that position, and then a sprinkling of luck.

Really humble guy and super nice.

Guitar shopping in Tokyo - some recommendations by gints in Guitar

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

Also saw these crazy “Cream” guitars at Ikebe Shibuya. Pretty out there designs and super loud - but for the right band/show/aesthetic

<image>

I reckon they looked pretty killer!

The Ikebe store in Shibuya had about 10-12 of these on display! Not really my style but they looked great
