    This place has changed

    Most of the old timers are gone. Very different than when I first started hanging around.

    Thoughts?

    I mean.....I had her 9th...but I suppose I could see her swapping spots with Weezy.

    Officially banned from the gear page

    If I'm being honest, I've been permanently banned from TGP at least 6 times. The over moderated nonsense there and the "other" LP forum is just too much for me. This is the only place I check in on a regular basis these days.

    What was the record?

    If you could only own one electric guitar....

    The '54 strat I sold when I got married. I'm divorced now. I miss the guitar WAY more than the wife.

    Should I buy a Vintage '65 Strat ?

    I prefer old strats, particularly ash. The 54 I had was easily the best strat I've personally played. It was a body refin with some repro plastic so it was also MUCH cheaper than something with 0 issues.

    Shell Pink LPC?

    Holy crap, I found a video of one!

    Shell Pink LPC?

    It was pretty wow. At the time, around 2009, they wanted $4900 which was about 2x what a custom was going for. I went back and forth for a few weeks on whether to just pull the trigger then one day....it was gone.

    Shell Pink LPC?

    I check reverb and most of the bigger dealers pretty regularly. I haven't seen another for sale since about 2010.

    Shell Pink LPC?

    No, honest to god Shell Pink. I've been trying to at least find a photo but nothing yet.

    Shell Pink LPC?

    Anyone have/had/seen a shell pink LPC from 1987(I believe)? I didn't buy the 1 I ever remember seeing years ago and would love to track one down.
