You guys can't be trusted!
Remember last week when I explicitly asked that you guys helped me stay off of Craigslist? Well - Where were you tonight? :P I've found one of these Greco Custom Ace Frehley model for sale (not the one actually pictured here) - not that there's the slightest chance of me buying it but I've learned a few things...  Apparently, the late 70s early 80s Greco were actually pretty good guitars, in spite of what one might automatically think upon hearing the words "japanese copy". I had read that Frehley himself played them while touring Japan but, understandably, Gibson didn't want one of their endorsees to be seen w/ a Les Paul copy. They seem to be selling for around $800 and up. And as far as I can tell from the pics and the reviews (which isn't much, I know), they indeed seem to be well made copies. Fortunately for me, I'm absolutely happy w/ my little Epiphone LP traditional, so I'm thinking that my next guitar would have to be the big Gibson LP, not just another copy. That being said, who knows...

Which brings the question, what was I doing on Craigslist in the first place... Answer is that I've started thinking about "upgrading" my old POD 2.0 to a more "recent" POD XT after reading that XT can host the add-ons packs which I bought for POD Farm.
I wouldn't spend $400 on a POD HD considering that I don't use it all that much but the old XT series is already an improvement on version 2 and I'm hoping to score one for well under $100.

Hey! Keep my name out of this. I'm not even sure why I have a list... (And that guitar needs a fourth pickup just because.  )
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!

I don't know, Beagle. The pictures on CraigBsList look almost lifelike.
My cubicle, on the other hand, appears to be Photoshopped.

At least you have a photoshopped one. My cubicle is real. VERY real.

I never liked the 3 pick ups configuration - I thought it looked unbalanced. But that doesn't mean I couldn't do w/ at least ONE such Les Paul in my collection. I've also seen a 1988 Epiphone S-800 (super strat type of guitar) - which I had spotted in a pawn shop in July (they've put it on the web too.) I don't know why it keeps on nagging me. It has a Steinberger tremolo - which I know nothing about. And it doesn't look that cool, but, it could work. I've actually played it to test an amp I bought. I'd like some kind of super strat for some stuff - but nothing expensive. The Epi could be an option or then, maybe a Kramer Pacer or such...
