Well, the Les Paul was (perhaps unsurprisingly) short lived. Another member here and I decided that we actually had each other's guitars, so a swap was really the only logical option.

It's very exciting

That burst guitar is pretty special. One gear fest I asked Ben what was so special about it and he went through it for me, very cool :-)

You’re not wrong. The Anniversary is a great guitar- it’s been problematic to gig with though. The 6120 will definitely be coming along to BKS gigs instead.

Damn they look good together.

So pleased these are still in the family. I've had half a dozen vintage 6120's and this was/is the best. Well done Ben!

It's a sledgehammer; it punches holes in walls. I still have concussion from the Bollix.

And great swap guys; I've always thought Ben was as much a Les Paul guy as I am. :lol:

I’m so sorry about that! I forget how punishingly punchy it can be!

Yes that 6120 has gone to a great home. Good to have it staying in the family so to speak. The LP sounds great thank you kindly.

There was a huge disturbance in the Force over that LP purchase Ben, I'm glad the balance has now been restored.

There’s a very high likelihood that there will be a Les Paul with P-90s and a Bigsby somewhere in my future.
