Hey Steve! I just had the privilege of playing a 68 Les Paul Black Beauty! OMFG!
Too cool for words. Only another guitar player can appreciate the sound and feel.
Just thought I would share.
Peace~

way cool Timster, and i'm sure you treated that fine lady like a lady should be treated
for the layman, however, we should
explain
a tad
there are
two
distinct guitar doctrines
Leo
(the people's guitar)
Fender>
and Les paul>
these are the icon's of the electric guitar world, and everything else is merely a knockoff , although admittedly some of the jap knockoffs play
better
, and are manufactured more
consistently
pristine than the originals
for instance a Gibby 335 costs an easy 10X what my Dot3 eppy does, but the
feel
of those gibby's is incomparable, in fact a friend who was a rather good Luther lent me his Les Paul custom deluxe for a week>
now one could say, it's not the
instrument
that makes a musician, but then i'd wager i might do a tad better driving a pantera
vs.
a pinto during rush hr as well.....

One could, and it's true, but the crappier the instrument the more work has to go into the mechanics rather than the musicianship.
A fine instrument
wants
to sing, the musician need only give it voice. A poor instrument, one has to work at it.

I'll bet great electric guitars like that would make an excellent noise if they were smashed into gigantic speaks
a la
the Who.

Black humor of Kafkian political debates often is more sad than funny, Guin.

Did my sympathetic attempt to agree with you insult you, Guin?
Ask youself why you felt insulted, if that is the case.

No, not insulted at all, but were you agreeing with me? Since you expressed above that you thought it was funny, I assumed, well, that you found the clip amusing rather than sad.

Yes, of course I was.
Sad and funny are the elements of black (AKA gallows) humor, Guin.
Advocates for gay marriage are facing the impenetrable ignorance and illogic of very dumb, frightened (and frighteningly dense) people.
This presented just how impenetrably stupid their opposition really is.
