Oddly enough, I also own a G&L Legacy 3-bolt from the early 90's too.

I'm a little concerned this could adversely affect the value of my standard H-150 I bought last year.

I thought all those Assent ones were bolt-on necks.

I was in the showroom at the PSP gathering this last summer and really liked the vintage wine burst finish on this H-150. I kind of impulsively bought it and I am glad I did. It is hard to find this finish on new models anymore.

That is a beauty.

A pinball machine.

This was another one of my tee shirt designs for PSP. I thought this one turned out great for a 2-color silkscreen print. It's pretty challenging to get a sunburst look without technical issues.

That's a really beautiful guitar, Brent. You get that lemon burst flame and the red guitar all in one. My 535 has the Schaller Golden 50's pickups & bridge and that all works well for me.

These are a couple designs I worked on back around 2010 - 2011.

I still regret not pulling the trigger on one of those when they came out.

Just got an H-150 with the SD 59's and I really love the deep tones I get with that guitar. My 535 has the Shaller's and those are really nice and especially versatile on that guitar. I really wanted the SD 59's with that new Heritage to go after the classic LP sound I was after.

Neil Young "Bernard Shakey" is 78 years old and he still fits in his rock and roll shoes.

My buddy got a PRS SE Hollowbody II with the Piezo pickup as well as the humbuckers. I played it through one of the new Fender Vibro champ reissues for hours until he took it from me and said don't you have somewhere you have to be?. I absolutely fell in love with that guitar, and now here I am smitten once again.

Thanks. It was a blast for sure. A pretty loose affair.

One more ...

Here are a few more... I apologize for the sketchy quality.

This time we were lucky enough to have Aaron playing with us - he drove up, basically from Huntington WV. He arrived just in time to help us set up on the KIA stage. We had hoped to play a couple songs at the soundcheck to dial in the sound and get reacquainted, but no dice. The powers that be rushed down the stairs when we started to play and said we had to stop playing because they were able to hear us while they were talking on the phone. Oh well, so much for that - we just decided that we'd just have a quick beer to calm the nerves and hit the stage when it was time to start. We were pretty loose and casual for sure, but at least we enjoyed actually getting together and playing for the first time, really in about ten years. Our arrangements changed on the fly and we tried not to get in each other's way... and the room is difficult acoustically. Here's a video of Devil Ray one of Dan's originals from quite a while back. I just played harp, giving Aaron free rein to improvise on guitar.

We got together on Friday and Saturday nights to practice for our upcoming gig. Aaron, our long lost lead guitarist extraordinaire lives in West Virginia. so he wanted to hear what we now sound like. He came up with the idea of getting on Skype and communicating with us while we go through the set list. Seemed like an odd idea, but we gave it a try. I repositioned my iMac to a spot that could get the whole band in frame and we dialed him up. We announced which song we were going to play, then charged into it with Aaron watching through the magic screen. After we finished we'd talk about where his solo or part might fit into the arrangement we had been working up. We have been trying to add room for his guitar and vocals all along, but this was a great way to make sure we are all on the same page. Every now and then when we were in the middle of a song we'd check the monitor to see if Aaron was smiling or caught a slight change in the arrangement to what he might have been used to... what? no Aaron? Then we'd see a little bit of his headstock bouncing around and his head peeking into frame with a big smile. That was so strange to see, and great to experience. What a great time that was. I'm hoping our gig goes well, and i'm much more confident that it will thanks to technology I would have never considered. We talked about how great it would be to have him in our headphones playing along with our live mix, but latency issues would certainly prevent that (for now).
