Very nice,
You do your own luthier work?

I dabble but I am not great

I do most of it ..... I saved a 1982 35th Anniversary Les Paul Standard from the trash.

I refinished it and used Nitrocellulose Lacquer, which is a two month process.

A bit unrelated but related to the guitar. I got to see Les Paul play in NYC about a year before he passed. He was still shredding in his 90s. It was funny because there was a line of people after the concert waiting for Les' autograph. One was a kid with a white Fender Strat he wanted signed. Les looked at him and said, "You do realize what this is - right?" The kid looked kinda sheepish but Les signed it anyway. Nice guy. He actually took some time with each person and chatted with us. I had him sign one of his albums for my brother who has several Les Pauls in his collection.

Mr Paul was the kind of guy that legends called a legend.

My son just ordered me this Mini PC. Attaches to the back of a standard monitor, comes with a 1 terabyte hard drive, WiFi, Blue Tooth, 4k display, dual HDMI, and is fast. It does more than my big ole tower and cost about $250. I just ordered an amp for it for $40 so I can power my bookshelf Klipsch speakers with it. Stupid small.

Just purchased a TCL 85" tv and the Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar and Arc Sub 4 subwoofer. Finally got my home entertainment system
of my dreams. Looks and sounds great in our new home. Lost everything in a fire 1 year ago so I could fill this board with new shit I had to buy, the list is long and still growing.

So I have been researching amp modeling so that I don't have to lug three amps a cabinet, multi FX unit and a three way amp switcher when I go out and gig with my pals. And I have to say I am over the moon with the TONEX Pedal and PC Client and TONEX 700 watt cabinet. I can run my acoustic guitars, my clean guitars and my Lead Heavy sounds just as press of the pedal selectors. I also purchased the 78-79 brown sound pack and if you're a VH or George Lynch tone chaser this setup just absolutely does and everything else.

My new setup and getting myself familiar with it.... while the wifey is at work... lol... then I'll take it upstairs to the gig room
