Well as I say being a good friend of mine, how could I let Furtheron down? He brought the guitar into work yesterday and I was immediately smitten. This is a 'real' guitar compared to the "cheapo" that I bought when I started this journey into music almost a year ago. AND it shows! I took it home and last night I had the best practice session I have ever had. Did the guitar do that or is it simply a state of mind knowing that I now have a decent tool in the toolbox? As Furtheron reminded me this morning the other point is that I can no longer blame my inferior guitar for bad playing :-(
So here it is my new Gibson Les Paul, lovingly cared for for the past 5 years by Furtheron and I hope I can treat it and eventually play it as well as he did.

I recognise that... :-) I had one of them once... Treat her well and she'll repay you with a lifetime of good times.
Women seem to not understand the need for a large collection - esp. when Mrs F insisted on a count up at the weekend and it hit 13 and realised that one is absent with son at uni. Thanks for buying this as I'm now just at a dozen!
However I had a minor victory when my daughter admited to being able to hear a difference withe new one.
However - I ought really to get rid of one of the basses - given I never really play bass :-)
Oh dear, get treatment now, deejay, before it gets any worse!
No, seriously, I'm looking forward to seeing you and furtheron on youtube in the near future. Playing together.
I believe the only appropriate response is 'kicking dude'.
Congratulations..! That guitar looks beautiful! I am sure you'll have fun with it. I want such a guitar too..
