I was trying to long into that forum only to remember I was on Mylespaul forum not this other one. Now I need to be on both.

This is the only Forum I am active on smile ... those two are great for info on LP's for sure ... and I Registered to both a couple years back ... but never got "approved" on the TLP Forum. Could be a mistake on my end ... few months ago sent an email to inquire ... never heard back. Maybe more exclusive? (With me, guess I can't blame them. smile ) Still enjoy lurking for info. Joe posts in every now and then.

Apologies for off-topic.

I assume the Joe B making the post is the man himself. I wonder why he chose to post on that forum rather than this one.

My guess would be it's because there's a fair amount of vintage guitar collectors and knowledgeable vintage gear hounds that frequent that forum.

Agreed. It makes bigger waves and more people are chimed in on that one!

Re: Carmelita aka. "The Claw" 9-1953

Also, one or more of The Claws former owners is on there.  I do hope it makes an appearance at some of his shows.  It is interesting to see that he is a co-owner, someone else involved.  $$ I suppose.  That guitar didn't go for a song!!

Re: Carmelita aka. "The Claw" 9-1953

Well folks, Carmelita made her debut in Joe's hands last night at the Notes For Notes benefit. Joe shared the stage with such luminaries as Jimmy Vivino, Robben Ford, Seymour Duncan, Rich Robinson and Laith Al-Saadi. The tone from her was simply astounding! Jimmy V kept talking about it and said he got to touch it and it wasn't fair for Joe to have it on stage with them. Joe chuckled and wryly said something about he agreed. lol Here's the only solo Joe played since he typically let the others shine, but when he hit those strings you knew. I have a feeling this will be his #1. smile Double Trouble as Joe channels a master as only he can do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc8f7UmeN-Y

Re: Carmelita aka. "The Claw" 9-1953

Well at least all those historic guitar's are getting played by someone who loves them, instead of a collector hiding them in a closet.
esp now that Joe says he's gone from about 300 guitars to about 40.

What amp's did they have on stage there, Rick?

There was a long row of Fender Twins. Vintage amps for vintage gits.
