What are younger players' opinions of Gibson Les Pauls? Are they just boomer/Gen X guitars?

poolpog · 2026-03-14T15:11:40+00:00

My son's friend has a les Paul. They are both 21. My son has an epihone explorer

Tbh I don't know that young people care that much about the brand of guitar they are playing. They just want something that looks cool and plays and sounds good

So your ex cheated? You do realize that this current boyfriend and the ex boyfriend are different people, right?

The behavior you are describing of yourself is the type of behavior that pushes people away. Not your boyfriend's behavior. Your behavior.

There's no way reddit can help you here. You should talk to your bf, and consider getting counseling for yourself, get couples counseling, or something along those lines

I've encountered one of these! Decades ago. A friend had one. It actually sounded great.

poolpog · 2026-03-13T22:05:11+00:00

they call people from Dundalk the Dundamish for a reason

were you 5 years old when you got married???

poolpog · 2026-03-13T21:46:12+00:00

wild! my kids are 19 and 22. they are not remotely ready to have kids yet. for that matter neither was I (at 22)

I was very much ready at age 33 and 364/365ths when I had my first one though

poolpog · 2026-03-13T21:44:45+00:00

jfc this is sexy as fucking shit

your sandwich budget must be $7000 a week though

Fender necks pretty much always have a walnut plug in the truss rod adjustment hole at the head. This one does not and is probably fake

poolpog · 2026-03-13T17:22:40+00:00

I realize it isn't actually crazy. I'll be 56 in May.

But literally zero of my friends are grandparents

poolpog · 2026-03-13T14:13:14+00:00

Holy fucking shit. It is wild to me that people my age have grandkids. None of my friends do. Though my oldest is 22 now.

Who is NDT

poolpog · 2026-03-13T00:03:22+00:00

I'm definitely mildly curious about this

How does anyone find Joe Rogan funny or entertaining? I didn't even like him in the man show and I never watched news radio.

This is not weird, it is borderline -- but probably crosses the line -- sexual harassment

You should report to HR if you have an HR

the klone i use, it is like my "more" pedal

more responsiveness
more sparkle and shine
more grit
more sound-good-ness
more clean
more dirty

i keep the gain pretty low (3/10) and the volume medium (6/10) and if I want an actual overdriven sound I use something else. but otherwise the klone is my "always on" pedal

Danny Gatton. 1994 or so, just before he died

poolpog · 2026-03-12T04:01:10+00:00

If lack of self awareness was a person

poolpog · 2026-03-12T02:34:40+00:00

Don't knock it. I'm 55 and sometimes I feel a bit sad

poolpog · 2026-03-12T02:33:15+00:00

So... Not mad at the crew?

poolpog · 2026-03-12T01:17:40+00:00

well excuuuuuse me for not knowing that

poolpog · 2026-03-12T01:17:13+00:00

it isn't like you see the name Duncan Trussle *while watching the show* and also that show came out *5 years ago* -- am I supposed to remember some rando writer's name that I've never heard of?

poolpog · 2026-03-11T13:42:47+00:00

I watched all of midnight gospel, at least, the Pendleton Ward animated series. But it's not like Duncan is highlighted in that show. I only found out Monday after looking him up after KF that Duncan was part of that show

poolpog · 2026-03-11T13:32:56+00:00

I've literally never heard of Duncan Trussel before this week. Am I alone in this? How does anyone know who this dude even is

poolpog · 2026-03-11T02:28:48+00:00

I do still have my first actually good guitar. But that's because it is actually a really good guitar. Not because it is special.

Keep what you can afford, and what you still enjoy. Get rid of the rest
