No GAS but I bought it anyway. Half price sale at the local pawn shop. I paid $500 out the door only because there's one selling for over $700 on eBay so what the heck, I have money.
My current keyboard player (age 50) dropped dead less than two weeks ago and my former bass player/best friend (age 60) dropped dead Thanksgiving. Three weeks ago my last relative my parents age or older died from cancer, told on a Thursday, died the Sunday right after. Her dying really shook me hard, now this.
About the Les Paul. It's junk. It has what every junk guitar has, that loose, vibrating sound when played unplugged. My MIM Fender strat doesn't have it, but the PRS SE had it and so does every other junk guitar I have ever played. My idea of a good guitar is that when it is played unplugged, it should be solid and tight with no rattling of any kind in the sound. What is it? The bridge, tuners, neck/rod, body, or all of those things? Has anyone a quick fix for this? I'm inclined to start with the bridge, nut and tuners. https://www.flickr.com/photos/100168049@N04/15721481107/ I didn't test it out on an amp before I bought it but I have band practice tonight so I'll throw on some new strings, check the intonation, and have at it.
