Very nice Ron! You'll have to take a picture with ALL your Les Pauls together.

Out of all your JBLPs, your Kossoff, this one etc.., is there one in particular that you would pick up before any other to go do a gig? I'm sure they all have their own uniqueness but theres got to be one that you feel most connected to?

-Seth

Yes there is and that would be the Custom Shop LP I call "Cin" after my late wife. I had it special ordered from Gibson after my wife passed away. It is a long story but due to the events around getting this guitar out of the Gibson custom shop in record time with the help of Pat Foley and a very special person this guitar has a unquie MoJo that can't be discribed it needs to be experienced.

Re: "Baby, Baby Baby I am gonna leave you

Hey Ron - that axe is looking very, very sweet indeed.  Completely bad of you to taunt us all of course (;  ....lol!  I absolutely love the look of a Bigsby on a LP and that's gotta be one of the best looking I've seen.

I dunno why, but the name Babe just reminds me of a comedian I once saw.  He kept on referring to a woman in the audience saying "what a Babe" she was - several times he gave her the eye and even got here to stand and take a bow.  She was lapping up the attention until towards the end of his set, he said it again but finished by saying "...yep, of course you've all seen the film 'Babe' right?!".  The audience thought it hysterical, but the lady was none too pleased!

Re: "Baby, Baby Baby I am gonna leave you

Ron, how high does your bigsby arm sit? I just put a bigsby B7 and Vibramate on my LP Classic and it seems like it might sit kind of high. I measured it and its 2 inches from the pick guard.

Hi Spider
Yeah BB3 with some extra MoJo. Getting very different color in the tone. Still working it though.
