I was about to put my youngest child on TradeMe but then realised it wasn't a selling thread.

Actually I think I meant you're big in the KOC. 2x12" has to count for something eh...Mini Forklift Ⓥ wrote:You're not the first person to tell me that. Possibly not the last eitherBg wrote:You're a big Koc.

Mine too, but he seems to be on the straight and narrow again for now. Nearly had to kick him out to get him to change his ways.

Well spotted DAiRdAd wrote:
Very cool!!! Its interesting how the body protrudes under the neck final frets in the cutaway, where as the modern les Paul's have the cutaway flush with the neck.
I've always found it easier to get a classic 60's paf tone out of one of these than a regular humbucker loaded model. Less variables to lead the tone astray.GrantB wrote: Yes, a characteristic of the "budget" level Gibson's of this era. Makes for a much stronger joint plus more meat for tonal transfer. These pickups sound quite PAF like. Honky, clear, woody...with a hint of mouth feel.

Very cool Grant. Much envy. I'm currently in the States and while i'm bringing back stuff, it's nothing like that.
