    Early Les Pauling

    I am enamored with my Les Paul Traditional. But as I was playing it this morning, I realized that I need about 100 hours with it, so sensitive is it to touch and picking. When I get to the point that I know this baby and everything it can do, it'll truly be MINE. And what a wonderful thing. I've never had a guitar so sensitive--and it opens up a lot of possibilities tone-wise.

    Very nice looking beast! I do not have a red one. Tea is the closest I got.

    All of my guitars are bass ackwards. Or maybe that's just an optical illusion. Perhaps they are hand-neutral. Ever thought of that, maybe???????

    Thanks. Cherry Sbst has always been my fave LP color, followed closely by the red on George Harrison's Lucy and black, yes black. (Go watch Dave Davies playing one on youtube, from 1977 SNL performance. It burned the desire for a LP into my brain, and I love black LPs because of it.
