Eye Candy! Just gorgeous! Yummy!
Sorry for the descript! Girly, but hell yes! I am a girl! lol
It’s a perfectly apt description! It matters not at all if you’re guy or girl - if you’re into Blues and a Gear-head (with a bad case of GAS) then you fit RIGHT in here!!
I’m going to find all my decent guitar and amp and pedal photos I have and put them up in the “Show us your guitar-amp-pedalboard” thread!
BTW, if you want to see a Youtube video about the First 1954 Les Paul Black Custom guitar, which Gibson made especially for Les Paul, and was the guitar Les played for decades, see this link:
In 1976 Les gave this guitar to Tom Doyle, Les Paul's personal guitar-man, luthier, sound engineer, co-inventor, and close personal friend of over 45 years, and Tom shows us the guitar here, and all the changes Les made to it over the years.
I was very fortunate because the bass player in my old Blues band, who I was good friends with, had previously lived right next door to Tom Doyle.amd through Tom, he got to know Les Paul, even being invited to dinner at Les’ house in Mahwah, NJ. So as I got to also be friends with Tom, he would do things like getting us front table seats as Les’ shows at the Iridium in NYC, and I could call Tom to find out when Les was in a good mood, so that if I brought my Les Paul guitar to the Iridium, Les would be sure to sign it. Tom even helped me out by taking my Les Paul case from at the Iridium, and keeping it with him in the sound engineer’s booth, and then as soon as the show was over, he brought my guitar right up to the table where he knew Les would be sitting, so I was first in a LONG line of people waiting to get their guitars signed, and Tom even arranged for the photo of me sitting with Les, and then after I had printed out a color copy of it, I gave that to Tom and Tom got Les to sign it for me, and then he gave it back to me.
Tom used to play shows with his own brand of guitars nearby at a small bar and would invite us and have dinner with us, and let us try out his own guitars, and he’s a top notch guitarist as well - which Les Paul made him keep sort of “hidden” (that’s why Tom only played at small venues - which since Les is gone now Tom is not longer restricted, and he often headlines himself at the Iridium on the same night Les used to have the place to himself). Tom used to even drive Les each week to and from the Iridium, and so he would have a good idea of what mood Les was in, which we could call him and find out about.
