A good point for sure. Better to say the magic is not in the instrument but in the artist. That is why I never spend $$$$$$ for overpriced signature or tribute instruments.

There are no magic guitars, just magic hands. When the hands are gone, so is the magic.

V8guitar : I thought of you when I saw this. Sure, it's not purple, but it's V8 and pretty cool.

I really like that. Love the headstock shape, very nice design. Also great inlay. Aesthetics alone would sell that guitar, and I'm sure plays well too.

Wow! Monster good. Be more like those guys.

Redone classic. The solo and guitarist's tone is A+

I saw that picture and my head immediately went here. Your's is definitely classier though.

Definitely good luck! Chasing tone always leads to deep rabbit holes. As soon as you find it, you hit another birthday and your ears change. But it sounds like you've been down there many times before so I'm sure you're on the right track.
For me at least, the main requirement for a good electric is how it sounds and plays unplugged. If that's really good then it's a keeper. Then swapping strings or tweaking the Kemper dials can usually get me to a more than acceptable tone territory. A too bright pickup can sure be annoying. But, sometimes changing the cap value can help tame it a bit, sometimes not. Pickup changes, for lazy me, are the last step, just because they are a pain to change and you can't just go out a test drive a bunch of them before choosing. Happy hunting!

OK, enough of these PRS beauty queens. Here's my workhorse ugly duckling. I picked it up years ago at a thrift store fairly cheap. A high mileage Red label Yamaha FG-180. Great guitar but , shall we say "well loved". When I saw the wear and the "natural" fretboard scalloping I knew it couldn't develop so many scars unless it was used a lot, and that usually implies a great sound. It is a fine sounding acoustic. Also, I do love natural distressing way more than the fake stuff. Can almost smell the tobacco and beer.

First thing I played when I picked this one up was "Jailbreak" by Thin Lizzy.
Nice LP. And you get extra points for mentioning Thin Lizzy!

Uploaded just for You on this Forum a quick video about How I've managed to play Stereo on 8 Marshall Cabs all togheter.
There are 2 KPA and 4 External Power Amp
Monitor out of KPA was set at -24db for the 2x12 Cabs and -28 for the 4 x12 Cabs.
in this way it's Not Super LOUD as You may expect in the end.
Of course it can be Dangerous if I turn it Up!
Hope You find it intersting. Ciao!
Wow! Thanks for the video. Your sustain should be measured with a calendar.
And if you ever need to intimidate a drummer, that's the rig!
Very impressive toy room. Love it.

I never really listen to music anymore. More like I study it now. And I like it better.
When music was fun.
Good tune and I do have the CD. But I guarantee there are 4 dudes out there somewhere that will cringe every time they see that video and wish it gone. Well, it was the 80s, ... now what did I do with my red pants?
-
Nice find...but really.... who has a car that clean?
...and it's purple too! Don't tell V8.
-
hey.. who said Black Friday?
Dangerous set-up. If the dB's bouncing off that concrete ceiling don't kill you that snake might. Hope it's not real.
-
I litterally bought it for the same amount as i earned on the gig so it was a kind of “why not” situation.
Nice business model. I'd try that too but at the end of the year I'd only end up with a couple of Squires, some Sweetwater candy and a t-shirt.

So, Dumble was known to bury his secret sauce amp mod components in a glob of black epoxy-like material to keep anyone from copying. I'm wondering what would happen to the amps value if any of those hidden components failed. Most are still working amps, not museum pieces just for looking at. I think the best you could do is return it to a functioning Fender again and that might cause significant depreciation. Just pondering for fun. I would definitely want a robust profile!

Yes, you are spot on with the brush and quill analogy.

I can understand if it's an investment appreciation play or if you have a few $B and just want to hold it and look at it. But the reality is it's just a guitar. The legendary sounds that came out of Greenie, Blackie, Brownie, Stevie, Red Special, Black Beauty, Lucielle, etc. had most to do with the magic in hands that were playing it. To my ears Greenie sounds different when played by Peter than how it sounds when played by Gary Moore. If I played any of them, they would sound like me, ugh.

Ive posted Muse selling their kempers and actually sombody here Got it.
Now let's see if Someone else of this forum get this Les Paul Replica
