Hmm, I thought everybody hated the flametops. I thought everybody is gonna say "Dew it".

Shoot,that traditional would be on its way right now if I hadn'ta bought the Mosrite.

Okay, I can see the appeal. I may be slipping into mania.

I hate flametops and knowing that you will do it anyway... I say do it.

Westtexas, how much time do you actually spend playing versus looking online for new guitars?

excellent question. And didn't you say in another thread recently that you only know like 2 chords? Spend a little more time playing guitars instead of trading guitars.

WTR provides a nice contrast to the WHICH OF THESE SIMILAR FUZZ PEDALS SHOULD I BUY style threads, and does it cheerfully and with some nice historical references. Lay off.

As Lou Reed once said:

"One chord is fine. Two chords is pushing it.Three chords and you're into jazz."

Westy, no. It's a big downgrade in playability and quality control for the sake of some [boring] paintjob and a bigsby. Get a Les Trem if you must.
And who cares what people on shortscale think about the finish of your Les Paul? That's like styling your beard to please another man.

Thanks Paul. I was only half serious. The only real reason I think about selling the "berst" is because I feel guilty for having spent so much on it. It's really a great guitar and I think it looks cool. Pretty close to the real thing.

I like the burst LP, but if you feel you have too much money in your guitars, then that's a different question entirely and one that only you can answer.

I feel the same way about mine.... do I really need a guitar thats worth so much?...probably not...... I feel more comfortable playing a beater too.... The only reason I have not sold mine already is cuz I got such an unbelievable deal that it really did not put me out much more than any of my other more reasonably priced guitars..... I know I could make a nice penny if I sold it thou
