This arrived today - a 1958 ES-140T. The body is the same size as a Les Paul, but the scale is 22 3/4". I've wanted one of these for over 20 years. Would've preferred one of early deep body models, but couldn't pass on this one due to the price:

I know there must have been other instances, but this is the first time I realize I've witnessed the recalling of New Coke on the internet.

And I was hoping for the youtube clip where John Watt covers Maneater.

Can't pick just one. I'd say the tone that I ended up copying was Steve Hackett's sound on Genesis Live (`57 Les Paul into a Marshall). The one I enjoy most would probably be early Steve Cropper (Esquire into a tweed Harvard).

Dillion Les Paul California hsc. `58 Gibson ES-140T. Looks like all the original parts have been replaced, but I couldn't pass it up for the price. I've wanted one of these since I was in high school.

I was messing with guitars shortly after buying my first, and have learned a decent amount over the past 22 years. I'm finally getting into fret leveling, and have a template for cutting nuts. The only thing I don't do is paint - and that's because I don't have a booth or a decent place to work...

Kerouac, you're not worth $100 to them. You're worth $1000. So, you can send me that $100 certificate, and I'll write Carolyn a nice letter stating that they need to send you another $900 before they can even think about smelling your dick.

Man, no one ever gets that joke.

I'm Mark, from Delaware, and I've been posting on HC since 1998. This recent upheaval is like the one that happened in 2001. Many of the regulars might leave, but the site will keep going with new people. In the meantime, it's good to see so many familiar faces.
