Here are some of the things I’ve observed about Les Paul guitars after owning a custom and a ‘59 reissue and playing several throughout my life: The 3x3 headstock looks cool but the design is dumb and begs for tension/binding issues at the nut. 90% of guitars come from the factory with a badly...

Fryette Deliverance 120 II+ Soldano X88IR + Fryette 2/90/2 Mesa Tremoverb

The crunch and OD channels on the new X88IR preamp are tighter/have more gain and the EQ has more range, so it’s easy to dial in high mids vs what’s available on the SLO-100

Good music exists across all decades and today. You just have to find it.
