Willie I have of course. Some of the others are a little before my time.

Was traveling Sunday and for some reason thought of Stevie Wonder's- Songs in the key of life album. Ended up listening to the whole double album. Not a huge fan of Stevie, but that album has some great producing.

That pain would live on for me Driller. But come by here and play this one! Agree with Katie - great thread. Will chip in more but I'm with most, like a lot of different stuff. Saw Judah and the Lion and Cage the Elephant last night here locally at a small music fest. Hang in there Dub I have a bunch of that 60's stuff too. A little light on PP&Mary but plenty of Bob!

That is a really nice Les Paul Southern! At Tuscanys slumber party you and Driller need to bring those and we can jam a bit.
Here is one of mine with a little woodwind thrown in..

Nice flame work Southern. I am really wanting a hollow body, but I can't justify it. I don't get a chance to play my guitars as it is, but I really like that warm sound the hollow bodies give.

Bought a low serial number Les Paul Robotic Limited edition to replace it the first year they came out. I was in Norway and happened to go in a music shop in Stavanger one day. It was hanging. Seemed the Norwegians were not interested in the auto-tuning. Got a really good deal on it. About half the US price at the time.

Man, with the auto tuners that is one heavy guitar. Changes the weight ratio quite a bit. Feels like it is almost head stock heavy if you can believe that.

Lots of fun to play. Can switch tunings in a couple to strums, but I would hate to strap it on for a long night.

Nice YT! Yes Driller I will add a hollow body too. Looking on and off for a while. Thanks the flame top I like a lot and looked at a bunch. Def would not want heavier. I opted for new with weight relief.

Sorry to see Tom Petty pass away. I was a big fan of his music and all he did for the music industry. There was a great documentary on him awhile ago I think on the history channel. Very interesting.
