As you get older, you appreciate the Lazyboy more But if you want a workout, theres always upper fret access....blackstratblues wrote: βThu Jan 13, 2022 4:37 pmBurstPaulBlues - my friends coined that when I showed them the pics
Personally I think Lazyboy may be more appropriate, after playing Strats for years, it seems this guitar does half the work

I started on Fenders, retired to Gibsons...all for that reason. My office-toned hands can't bend a Fender scale anymore.

Jazzmaster is the real answer. Slinky with the shallow string break-angle over the bridge.

That R8 sounds gorgeous through that amp
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958β¦ amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Thanks for the kind words! Got it plugged into the Soldano today for some very 90s era Moore-ish tones. Fun!

Re: NGD: Gibson R8 Historic
Agreed. Nice playing and great tones on a beautiful guitar. The perfect instrument to coax some Moore & Kossoff licks out of
