• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Went over to Ganzler's...

...and manhandled Gladys and his seafoam '64 Strat through some of Jim Marshall's finest.

As if it's not enough that these are some of the most beautiful specimens out there, they play like butter and sound fantastic too.

Gladys has a very balanced, pleasing tone. A lot of low end balls without getting muddy or cluttered, sustain up the wazoo, great bloom - even with an aggressive pick attack, it was as if the note grew stronger from there, like revving a muscle car.

I brought my conversion for comparison, and while it has the old wood resonance and low end, it couldn't touch Gladys in the sustain/bloom category.
Oh well, it still slays Lesser Pauls left and right... no shame in being beat by an Uber-burst, I guess. =(

Thanks for the hospitality, Joe!

Yes, it was truly a "blessed event" yesterday, listening to a MIGHTY FINE player squeezin' the juice outta those guitars! Mr. Harry Cody is not very good at self-promotion, so lemme say that if you want to hear a sample of his "work", pick up the new Tom Waits CD. . . :hank

I think it's great that Joe let's people enjoy his 'burst. You can't just go out and play these guitars anywhere.

Thanks for the update on your agenda, Charlie. :wink2

Which Tom Waits CD???, there are a million!

The mayor from two summers ago don't count. :roll Ganz has had 2-3 posts this month, and I personally know of others.

I'm just fucking with you man. You do what you do, I know you will! It's just refreshing to see someone sharing the enjoyment. I know I've appreciated local 'burst sharing. Like I said you just can't go out and play these guitars. So, most really don't undertand how great they really are.

yikes!

Harry Cody? As in Shotgun Messiah Harry Cody??? :bug

If they are indeed the same, then yes it must've been a truly blessed event. That first SM disc blew my mind over 10 years ago, and still does. World class player!

Well, CD has ALWAYS been most hospitable to ME with his "Burst Sharing" - here's a shot of some sharing goin' on before this year's Arlington Show. . .

I'd love to see you make that happen. I bet it never will. Mrs DD will never get on a plane with the whole family. Listen, I'd love to see you wank'n away on CD's 'burst collection.
