" Put a 4 way switch on it what puts the bridge and neck pickup in series for a 2nd lead sound. It's the bomb 💣! "

Interesting. Where'd you get the switch?
Can't remember for sure, but I think it might a been Sweetwater. I got a $h!+load of 'em. Costed me all of $14.95 USD 😆. Oaks Grigsby also makes a good 4 way Tele switch.

Oh, and the Tele control plate with the angled slot for the selector switch came from Rock Rabbit.

Like I said before, always changing.
Just got a Custom Shop Alex Lifeson. Like the piezo pickup idea. Yes, it may be sacrilege to have a FR bridge on a Les Paul but I have a "couple" shall we say, stop tail LPs to do that job. I like ne relative rarity of it as well.

A guitar I've always admired but finally picked this one up just the other day. A Gretsch Tennessee Rose. This one is Japanese factory 2004 and Guitar Center says it's a Chet Atkins Signature model... but it doesn't have his name on the pick guard like others I've seen so I'm not sure. Either way it's mine and I am most definitely enjoying it.

I picked up this 2019 Les Paul Standard 50’s off of Craigslist last Friday. I had been watching it for several months. I’ve had many Les Paul variations though the last fifty years, but never a normal Les Paul Standard. Also, I’ve never had a LP in Cherry Sunburst (Clownburst). This model was introduced shortly after the Henry J era, kind of a “Back to Basics” approach. I’m really liking it!
