37th birthday gift from the wife

Brand new 2021 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom

Saw this in a YouTube video. What is it?

Congrats! I've been with the wife since high school, 18 years together and married for the past 13 years. Time flies.

The spin

Just hit us here in TX last night. The extra heat is caused by the greenhouse effect, the dust being a form of pollution and is keeping the humidity around. It's gross outside for sure.

Swapped my '04 52ri for a '19 AO 50s Telecaster. That vintage radius didn't agree with me the last couple of years. This AO model with the 9.5" radius and bigger frets is fantastic.

I picked up a multipack of these and really like them. I have a tendency to let my pick shift in my hand a lot when I play, and these are made so you can rotate and play using all three edges so it's no big deal, plus you could wear down all three edges before needing to throw it out. The hole in th...

So having to re-login every time continues, and it's getting really frustrating. This will be a deterrent to my more frequent visits. Reading the posts above I think I figured out something. I don't use bookmarks, I use an RSS reader (and thans for enabling that). What I figured out was, AGF thread...

I've owned close to a dozen SEs, all Korea World Music, and they were all great. Slap on some mini Grover locking tuners and nothing else was needed. I had a SE245, an older flat top custom 24 with McCarty switching, a newer custom 24 with blade switching, a bunch more but the best of the bunch was ...

Went out to dinner with the family tonight and it was great (Lupe Tortilla, if any of you are in or near TX). Have tickets to see Back to the Future at a local theater tomorrow. Nice to get back to normal, even better when you don't have to wait for a table.

He hasn't appeared to have received the info on the new site. I saw someone tried posting in the Major Tom thread in reply to him but the post has been deleted. dearlpitts thinks this is the end of the line for AGF, and that just isn't the case. Can anyone get ahold of him outside the old AGF?

These Fusion-II are on my short list for next guitar to acquire.

7 lbs on the dot

I don't know how they sell these for as cheap as they do, but man is it nice. Everything functions like you'd expect on a high $$$ guitar. The trem is nice, locking tuners have no issues. The stainless steel frets were perfectly dressed, no sharp fret ends. The roasted maple neck has some great fig...

My Hulu account got hacked this week as well, someone from Germany. My Spotify got hacked yesterday by someone in NYC. Shady shit going on here...

I have had one for about 6 weeks now, currently the only amp I am using since everything else is packed up for our move this summer. It is a great practice amp that does everything I would want for just fucking around when I have a couple of minutes. The stock sound tweaking on the cab itself is goo...

I have had dozens over the years, but I'm fine with just the Artist Package Custom 24 I have now.

The threads are locked, and the final posts in each referencing .NET are gone post lock.

Looks like all mentions of this forum on the dead AGF are getting deleted or having their hyperlinks redirected to the old site. Sneaky bastards...

I'm really hoping it quenches the thirst of a Suhr I've had for the past few years. Having to have the talk with the wife about another mystery $2k+ purchase never ends well.

I have this on the way - Harley Benton Fusion II. Locking tuners, roasted maple neck, stainless steel frets, Wilkinson bridge. I have a set of Fishman Fluence Modern pickups ready to go.

I believe those started at $1k when they originally went up for sale, and had the best parts they could put on an AL. Looks like the pickup rings were added, don't remember them on the website photos.

I have the original, full size version. I like it a lot, just as much as the Helix I used to have. Great sounds at 1/3 of the Helix price.
