How many people are going to be in your group daffy?

 

[Tron]

There are 3 total so far and that will likely be all. The less personalities the better.

This just showed up at the shop - 1959 Les Paul Special. It's worth more than my 1yo car.

 

[roguejuror]

Why they brought it to you?

 

[Matty]

I'm putting in controls/components from the same era - it currently has 70's-era bits inside.

 

[Blitty]

What’s it worth?

 

[Matty]

Around 20k. An unmolested one would be 25-30

 

[reno cool]

I'd a think the molestation would take away more value.
Does it have a special sound or just rare collectible?

 

[Matty]

Sound is always 110% subjective. It was just built at the right time. Collectible.

It does sound good.

 

[Tron]

Sound is always 110% subjective.

just like songs, film and artwork

and girth

@mrquincy met one of my biggest guitar heroes today, Steve Vai. I don't think I'd be able to have a normal conversation with the guy - it would be like meeting the pope.

Actually, I'd be less nervous to meet the pope.

 

[Cougar Bait]

Passion and Warfare is 10/10

 

[Matty]

My fave is Alien Love Secrets

 

[Cougar Bait]

2nd fave

and he didn't invite you?

 

[Matty]

He was working, setting up his show (King Crimson tribute super band including two original members, and the drummer from Tool)

I have a connection with the drummer from Tool as well.

My friend was messaging him right before the show we went to in April.
