Big Neddi's buying a LES PAUL!

[Foolius Maximus]

The first guitar I ever owned was a Memphis Les Paul copy my mom bought me when I was 11(23 years ago!)- It was a dark blue neck thru- I found this and it's just like my old one except for the finish- Man does it bring back memories! I'm buying this guitar! I remember that my old one wasn't that bad of a guitar- I'm sure the wood and everything else is super cheapo but who cares- It's all about the memories! Neddi

The mighty Foolius is getting in touch with his sentimental side. Thats cool. My first guitar sucked eggs. If I returned to my Hondo Strat copy I'd send you a plain ticket to come down here and beat me over the head with it for even wasting the cash. Those Memphis Lp's were pretty cool. I remember a friend of mine got one in an emerald green burst and it had DiMarzio Super Distortions in it. We thought he was like THE man on guitar back then. He could play Randy solos and Dio tunes. This was like 1984. Will you be taking it on stage? Will you be making any mods to it?

Jack 'o viv, ha ha ha ha ha not! If i can get it playing good hell yeah I'll play it on stage- I know it may sound crazy but I remember my old one being a great player- If this one's a keeper that's great, if not I smash it on stage and give it away! Mine old one was a midnight blue finish with a cream binding- Man I'd like to find one of these in that finish- If anyone wants to help me search for these gems well, go ahead! I might start a Memphis les paul copy collection! Does anyone know how to find info on who made them? Neddi

Hey Kent, yuuuuuuuuuuuuummy on the Nelsonic guitars- They look real close and they're set neck at a hair over $150.00!(the starliner series) I'm thinking endorsement for sure! If I try one and I think it plays well enough I just might have to go over there and pinch myself(I mean pitch myself! kooky me)- Maybe I could work something out for there Atomic series- Kent, where are they located? Neddi

Hey John, I saw those reviews last night when I was doing a bit of investigating- Pretty mixed but a few were promising-

They are direct order.
They dont have a showroom floor.
I emailed them. They said that they would be willing to meet anyone somewhere around here if they wanted. Basically setup an appointment.
So email them if you wish to try one out.

Cool, I knew a girl that had a Les Paul. I always liked it when she had her guitar because that meant i got to play it (she liked me). They have a certain feel to 'em you don't get anywhere else.

Go for it FM. I have an old black Samick LP Custom (set neck)that I put Duncans in and a set of Grovers. I set it up and it plays sweet, just as well as my white Gibby LP Custom. I play out with it all the time. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
