Blow some smoke on those PUs to age them a bit. Your choice of what to smoke

Face it, we are in an obscure cult.

I got the Les Paul out on Saturday and played it the second half of the evening. Felt great and sounded great. Meaty is the term compared to the Tele. Not sure I could manage all three on one gig but will play one of them more often than just the Tele.

Let us know how it works out. The weight is appealing. How close to the real thing and how it handles pedals are most interesting to me.

Hard to believe it’s that old. Because I’m old, because we would buy a new one and there are still quite a few in really great shape.

Bad Company

That wood will give you wood

Because of Humbuckers and wood selection, they are similar. Due to the amount of wood and neck/body connection, I think a Les Paul is thicker sounding. They resonate a bit differently. Musically, you can cover a variety of songs in a similar way on each. And you can take each to different places. Need a Venn diagram. And what @RobB said. if you have money to spend, just get a Les Paul and have both. No need for justification!

I only briefly played a Korina Special in the store years ago. It was resonant, but wood varies. It is beautiful whether clear or black. The appearance is why I used Black Limba for my Boogie combo cabinet. Can’t say it is better or worse sound wise in a small combo cabinet. My woodworker buddy says it is easy to work with.

I think about one month offset. Look under Archive at the Woodsong website. Last night was #1143, the latest archive episode is 1139

Josh is an excellent musician. His bass playing included volume swells and walking up the neck. Also sang harmony. They played a cool song using a Danelectro baritone guitar and lyrics about someone's grandfather who was b-a-d, raising hell, marrying a cousin and running with the devil. A cool show and Josh was gracious to visit a bit.

I sent an email to @JGravelin with pickup questions and found out he is in town (Lexington, KY) with Erik Koskinen playing Woodsongs at the Lyric Theater tonight 6/9). He got my friend and I in the door, getting ready for the show to start. Proof attached. The man, the myth, the legend. And great guy.

It’s like a step backwards in regular speaker design, reducing efficiency, but makes a lot of sense nowadays. No IR required.

Tree fiddy per axe. I used a calculator

What a slab of figured maple!

I’d say you could easily sell the Korina Jr, Special and Studio P90 on this forum. Always lots of chatter when they show up. Well, all of them. A real appraisal would be a good reality check, as well as this forum. I have not bought or sold Hamers here but seems to me there is no low-balling going on.

Someone get it and gig it. Is it possible to get something new like this? I suppose Shishkov, maybe others?

Thanks for the responses. I’m wondering if I should get the Sonicake pedal from Amazon cheap just to prove the concept? If it does the job, great.

Thanks. I don't mind a little programming to get things set but would not want to get into that while performing. Something like the Nux Solid State would align with my first idea. May not need amp models but good to have. Cur The Tech21 and other Nux devices are worth a look. Good to hear Tech21 takes a pedal well. That is a concern if I use my current pedal board with a modeler. I have a Lovepedal Tchula always on, then stack an overdrive. Then an overall volume boost at the end of the chain. Tube front ends handle this without a problem.

I’m thinking of a lighter rig and utilizing mostly what I already have if possible. Perhaps a speaker IR pedal would do the job, but open to options. Use my current pedal board into a Saron Revelation preamp (super clean). I have done this through a solid state SLA-2 power amp into guitar speakers and it sounds great. The IR box would replace the SLA-2 and speakers and then go to the board (live). A modeler could replace it all, just don’t want to spend $$$ for one. Are there are some geared to live playing and under $500 that are decent?

I used to listen and play along with this back in the day. Back in the U.S.A. comes to mind as does Tobacco Road. High Energy

I have been lucky. I got mine from a Reverb seller at the low asking price, hadn’t been listed long. @Ua D mentioned it here. Also picked up a Taylor nice 12 string from eBay for a great price, like new. I have stopped high dollar sight unseen.

Too good to be true ….

I couldn’t see the top looking that good from the blank, awesome job on the finish!

Hameritis about like my 2002. Great top and price. Looks barely played.
