That reminds me of my first gig ever, it was at a graduation party in 1986. I was a little nervous because I never played in front of a large crowd before. We set everything up on stage and did a sound check. we were going to party for an hour or so with everyone and as it got dark we were going to start playing. This drunk guy walked up without anyone seeing and he grabbed my guitar and started playing it. I heard it so I went to see who was on my guitar and as I walked up he walked until the chord pulled my whole amp over. It messed up my amp head and it wouldnt work. We had 20 minutes until we were going to start playing. The only thing we could do is use the practice amp I had and mic it through the PA. It was a junky peavey amp with 1-8" speaker in it and it didn't have any distortion in it at all.

 

I had to play Iron maiden, sabbath, dio and motley crew playing with a clean tone. It sounded like pure shit but I finished the gig. People were so drunk that they thought it sounded killer. It was my worse gig ever but at least it was out of the way and it only got better after that.

Nice Les Paul Florentine! Very rare! I have never seen one in person but imagine it's got the best of the both worlds.

I, myself, am deeply jealous.

I agree. Very pretty. I imagine you get some wonderful sustain with that.

You'll have to excuse my sister, she's developed a problem with gravity lately (((grin)))

 

I must concur with her, ALL of these photos are a delight to a guitarist's eyes.

Being a Gibson Gal myself, (with an appreciation for ANY good instrument) that LP is SWEET!

 

Sister-Mine, should I post some of the Dad & his Maplecaster?

OK, when I get back to school Monday, I will try & locate and make web-friendly some shots of the Maplecaster, Disastercaster & MY baby, the 175 In really need to see what a Disastercaster looks like... There's a long story behind that....see when my dad was making that guitar, he had many mishaps. The first thing that happened, after he had stained the body )of course), was he accidentally dropped a screwdriver on the body of the guitar, and it made a slight depression in the wood. Now, my father being the perfectionist that he is, had to sand down that spot on the body to take the depression out, then restain that area, match it up perfectly, then go and refinish the whole thing....sigh....it was a long process. Then when he was putting on the backplate, he drilled the hole for one of the screws too deep, and had to put a bit of dowel into the hole to fill it up...then when he was filing the graphite nut, he filed down too far on (i think) 3 of them....finally the fourth was good. So he dubbed that one the DisasterCaster and so it has been ever since, and you will often hear him say that you will never hear a sweeter sounding guitar in the world

Great story! Brian May still plays the same guitar he and his dad built years ago, and no guitar sounds quite like it.

The lead that Brian May plays in "we will rock you" has a sound that I have never heard in my life.

That's Old Red through Vox amps. May's Old Red was quite innovative when he made it. Each pickup has a polarity switch. It is a very versatile guitar. Made from the mantle of his parent's fireplace.
