When a truly great music pioneer who INVENTED the electric guitar dies, it doesn't make the news, and isn't on the MSNBC web page that Vista keeps making my home page every time it updates. But when a truly weird pop music icon off's himself by mysterious means, we never hear the end of it. What's wrong with this. Yes, I may be a little biased, look what is in my hands in my avatar.

I thought they were FET's with pilot lights.
George, what year is your Les Paul Deluxe?

I do have some good old guitars that I am collecting parts to rebuild. I have a Fender Coronado from the early 60's, and a Guild SG clone with a Guild Ultraflex amp. I don't play enough anymore to justify spending big money on guitars. Sherri knew this when she got my daughters guitar teacher to pick out the Les Paul. Arthritis, wrist pain, and lack of spare time has curtailed much of my guitar playing. I think my guitar playing ability probably peaked when I was about 15 years old and played in a band (surf music). I had a guitar from the Lafayette Electronics catalog back then. I played the frets off of it. It was during this time that I learned how to make guitar amps with parts from old tube TV sets. I got a Univox (also sold as a Mosrite) guitar when I was 18, and I still have it, but its frets are shot too.
