Topic: New guy in the forum

From Cuyahoga Falls Ohio. Years ago, I was channel surfing and stopped on PBS when I heard a screaming blues lead going on. That's when I became a JB fan but not just for his amazing blues skills, he is an all out rocker. The Black Country Communion records just show how versatile and talented he is. Been a bass/guitar player since the mid '70s and one day while traveling for the job, I went into a Guitar Center and saw a pelham blue Les Paul hanging up and even though I'm somewhat of a headstock snob, I got it down, plugged it into a Marshall Origin 50 amp and fell in love. Later I noticed the Bonamassa truss rod cover and mismatched control knobs. So I ended up leaving the store with it, the OHSC, and all the case candy (minus the TAB book).

Yup exactly why Joe made the PBS deal, big fan exposure.
Check out PBS membership drive when the bundle Joe tickets and you get a tax receipt

Didn't remember the package coming with a TAB book... but I never bought a Joe package guitar.

Nice guitar, what Amp??

I play through a Laney Cub 212R. I was going to post a gear pick but can't figure out how to do it.

You can't sort of
This forum is "old skool" .
You can only post a link to an image site like imgur.com
But you have to have like a minimum of 10 posts before it allows you to post links

It came with a signed Blues Deluxe tab book.
