The Travellin' Man One is back together and all dried out and various bits replaced that had gone rusty-in-a-bad-way, so that will finally be back on it's travels too.
All cool.
In other news, I had two 'incomings' today, both Les Paul stylee, and both it their own way quite cute..
The first is a Gibson 50s Tribute Les Paul Studio, which has had a hard old time of it. These are lovely guitars, but it needs some renovation methinks as whoever did the amateur relickification was clearly lacking a trolley to fall off.. The front doesn't look bad, but the rest is, well, wow. Old Goldy is going to get a Bigsby I think, though amazingly the Gibson pickups are really nice, so may hang around for a wee while.
The second is polar oppositified, and is pristine and pretty too. This is a Japanese Edwards Les Paul, and is rather beautiful. I haven't had a chance to plug it in, but it feels and looks verily classy indeed.
The Gibson is going to get a Bigsby and maybe a Gold leaf finish, the Edwards I daren't touch.
And of course after spending months working my way thru every Vox amp I could find, but never quite finding what I were looking for, I also got one from the left of field, which nails it better than anything.
I got a Genz Benz Black Pearl which is utterly gorgeous to play. The reverb is stunning and there are more tones in there than I know what to do with. Clearly I will keep it forever.
So busy busy and a leetle busy, feels good to be back..
La la laaaa
