Those are very cool. I saw some of these on his thread and yours were some of the inspiration for mine. In fact I was debating on just going with the 2nd one on here that you have on your goldtop. ..

Thanks. I still am surprised at how little I thought about straps in the past. Now...I'm making it a point to notice them.

Not sure if anyone is in the market for a good guitar strap...but thought I'd post a recent experience. I had a leather guitar strap that I was using for the last 15-20 years that started to rub "black" on my shirts at gigs. Since I spend some decent money on gig shirts....not good. So it was...

i dont see any music for him anywhere other than what he's done on others records. I love what I'm hearing on the nugs.net concert. does he have anything available anywhere?

I had never heard of him. Thx for posting. Great stuff!

First off: the real Nicky 59 burst has always been one of my favorite looking bursts. I spent along time drooling over the guitar at the top of the forum before i ever even knew what guitar it was. When the CC version of Nicky came out that was really one of the only ones that I ever really...

For sale is a 12" scumback M75 in great condition. 16 ohm 100 watt so you can use it as a single speaker in your 1x12 cab if you want. Or pair it with another 16 ohm speaker. $90 shipped and paypaled.

Wouldn't usually post this but saw this R9 online at Daves and thought "Nicky"!!! Kind of some similar features and flame. Obviously Nicky is almost perfection..but this may get you close. http://davesguitar.com/products/gibson-custom-shop/1959-les-paul-reissue-2014-version-4/

So took the trip to Daves in Lacrosse the other day to test out the 2013's. After playing a lot of guitars.....I felt like this one, between the color and tone, really spoke to me. 8.2 lbs. so its the same as my 2010 LP (which will now unfortunately have to find a new home). The tone is...

to check out the 2013 R8's, R9's and R0's. Going with a few buddies. Bringing my 2010 R9 to compare to see if I like the 2013's better and if all the changes seem to make a difference. If I find one I like I'll pick it up...IF I like it better. I can only have 1 historic so 1 in...1 out...

I have a 2011 59 which I really like. The color isn't my favorite..but its still very nice. I like a good ice tea that looks vintage. Mines considered "tobacco burst" even though to me it looks more burbon burst. In looking at some of the 2013 58's that are out there I really dig the colors...

This may be a stupid question but....Do they even take them? I’m just curious if something like that is even worth it. We all know that you can get standards that play just as well as the historics …although they may not be technically as “accurate” as a historic. I’m just curious as a...

My 59 reissue looks great..but I'd like the finish to fade a bit. Just curious for those of you who have given your guitars the "sun" treatment...how long did you end up leaving them in the sun to get a decent amount of fade?

I thought my 2010 LP had 50's wiring. Then I realized that I had 2 different diagrams in my wiring stash for 50's. When I look on the net...I see different versions. (Some have caps going to outer pot terminal...some have caps going to middle). If someone can point me in the right...

Just curious if your someone who babies their historic les paul or if your working your way to the well played (or even slightly) relic’d look by choice. If your going the relic’d/worn in route….what are you doing specifically to help you get there other than play the crap out of it? I have a...
