yeah a Newport 90

I've finally turned a corner and have embraced the big carves. So much so that I'm prepping my CS R0 for sale. I just got used to, ya know, PLAYING my Tokai LP Std with a '59 carve. I have always been 60's Gibson-carve kinda guy, admittedly not really, "getting it", when It comes to '59+ necks. Even my Crews Strat has a bigger carve than any I've owned, and I can get around on it just fine. Now, I feel that I can play most necks, barring something that is stupidly big. Hell, if Paul Kossoff could wrap his tiny Hobbit claws around a 'Burst, then why the hell can't I? Anyway, back to the Tokai... 2019 Tokai LC220S BB. Neck is about .92-94". All stock. Pickups sound great, with good (not hot) output. Gotoh hardware. The quality of workmanship/materials is first class all the way. Lacquer finish, ebony board/pearl inlays and binding work are perfect. Maple top, mahogany body/neck. Weight is a hair over 10lb. Yes, a bit chonky, but it's an LPC. The recent, two-tone Gibson LPC seem to hover around that weight and are $4999 new. Got it from a very reputable MIJ shop in Canada. He was great to work with, accepted my offer without hesitation and shipped to my door in 7 days from Ontario. The only snag is my asshole neighbors let the box sit outside our front door ALL DAY on the ONLY 96deg day we've had this year. Dicks. Anyway, enough of my yakkin'. Lets boogie:

Dude needs a Newport though.

Well gee, I guess I'll have to post a video. Big fan here.

Neural DSP Quad Cortex digital amp modeler and multi-effects floorboard with Neural Capture technology. This thing can do just about anything, I'm honestly not even sure I've scratched the surface of what it's capable of. It’s in mint/as-new condition and comes in the original box. It’s never left my house. I mostly play along with jam tracks, so it’s honestly a little more than I need, and I’d rather see it get some use in a recording or live setup. $1000, USPs MO or PPFF.

theres a guy over on the Telecaster forum with a Phantom, anybody know about these? NGD (sort of) Hamer Phantom A7 (yes, I have the synth module also) | Telecaster Guitar Forum

Anybody into this band? Spent a week in Colorado with my son who is a big fan. Got to listen to them quite a bit, and now I'm a fan as well! arniez

I love that guy.

I will be there 🙂

https://www.guitarsummit.de/ It's that time of the year again. I'm planning to go Friday and Saturday. Our own @901gtr will present her Fulcrum pedals again. Are any HFC brethren attending?

It started it all...

Beautiful guitar. Neck is too fat for my little thumb though.

Care to share where if you decide not to?

Gibson spec fret wire. It's in between 6105 to 6100 jescar. Its a healthy size fret.

Oh, and congrats on the new guitar! And doing the right thing. Both are pretty great.

I dunno - the other one was awfully pretty: I'm with Cary - at first blush it's 'hell yeah' and then the stupid old conscience takes over and you go and do the right thing. Karma is real, but damn....

25.5” scale. Gibson style construction with fender scale and vintage vibrato bridge. Best of both worlds. The Mirage II’s have a thicker body than the I’s along with the non-blended heel. Gives them a bit more of a LP feel where the I has more of a beefy Strat feel.

Spruce top, clean fret board for the win.

Cool (blue), maple top over mahogany but l can’t remember, are these 25” scale length ? If so, it’s a long scale Les Paul in disguise. GLWTS, I hope this one stays in the family.

Leaves me out… although, I have considered learning guitar left handed just to see how hard it would be… Beautiful guitar. GLWTS.

It's Left Handed.

Why does it look left handed but doesn't look really left handed?

Man, you had me all day thinking today was Sunday.
