And yep, good day. Had some fun today playing some Gibsons, I cared very deeply about how long the tenons were, and spent the whole time wishing I was playing a copy. Really enjoyed Sizzling's old LP, and actually really liked Ed's Explorer that is currently for sale. Really great guitar, despite the ridiculously high output pickups.
Lawrence's handmade guitars are phenomenal, and really really exquisitely made. Had a quick blast through the Splawn, that was really something else, really lovely sounding amp. Aside from that, everything was very loud, which I really enjoyed.
Some photos to follow.
What model splawn was there and who had it?

That Goldtop pictured, along with Scooter's Traditional are two very good advertisements for Gibson.

I'm still not sure that the JCM800 through two cabs kept up with it.

It pains you that my LP Classic is a great guitar, doesn't it?

Sure did! By multiple players, I believe.

Always love it when Lawrence picks up a guitar, sweet rig and his playing is a master class, not to mention his builds.
