I think eventually, we should all get together sometime, pool together our favorite axes and have a big jam fest.

Re: Joe's Skinner Prototype and Magnatone Amp

Unfortunately, I am experiencing a serious case of being bummed out.  For the second time, I will be shut out on getting a guitar I want.  Missed out on the "Original 300" and will miss out on the Skinnerburst.  This time, my business has been so slow that I haven't taken a paycheck since the beginning of February.  Timing was horrible when I came to the Skinnerburst coming out.  But I am a very positive person and know all this happens for a reason and one day the planets will align and I won't miss out on the next one...LOL

I will say I am so jealous of all that get one.  They look amazing....especially the aged ones...wow...

Congrats to all that get one...I know they are going to good homes...

Don't be bummed out. Looks like you have some nice gear in your signature. After all, it's just a guitar. PLENTY of Nice Les Paul's out there. I'm sure used ones will pop up in time anyway!

Re: Joe's Skinner Prototype and Magnatone Amp

Hey LesPaul4, i know the feeling.
I'm desperately trying to sell some of my stuff to try to grab one of the last VOS in Europe, but i already know that i won't make it in time.
But i already have a great Les Paul, just like you, and it's always fun to play it.
So don't feel sad about the Skinner Burst, but have fun with what you have...remember that the ones you have right now are some of the best friends you will ever have. They have always given you good times, and they will always be  there for you to cheer you up and help you get along all the life's problems and disappointments.
As cindyron said play them and unleash their soul.

And remember that all these great guitars, before beeing Joe's or Slash's or Page's, were normal Les Paul like mine or yours...play them and maybe one day Gibson will make one carrying your name! smile

There were still four available on Thomann site yesterday, when I called. So, you just might be able to make it.

Yeah i know. One is already gone. There's one also at my favorite uk dealer, and two have shown up in the biggest gibson store in the south of Italy.
My only problem is that i have to succeed on selling some of my guitars before i can think of spending 6000 and more euros on a new guitar...even if it's a dream guitar...and these Skinner Burst are going too quickly, i think that they will last another week or two and then they will be gone!

But maybe tonight i will win the lottery! smile

Thanks guys....I do play the hell out of them...especially the '58 reissue with the SDJB's in her...this won't depress me enough to make me stop playing them...  smile

And yes Ron, the '58RI is starting to unleash her soul...tones are really coming in beautifully...she is sounding better every time I plug her in....maybe there is something to that "breaking in" theory...maybe I am getting better at playing too...LOL

Hey Ron..see you on the 15th in Providence!!!
