OFF TOPIC.

Can you tell me about the Les Paul picture on your home page?
Gibson, Epi, 'other'?

I'm considering an Epi Les Paul or a Tele (I have a Strat).

Thanks.

It's a Guild Bluesbird.
It's a great guitar. Similar in looks to a Les Paul but about half the weight and price. I think Guild discontinued it last year. But they still can be had on eBay. It's a bit beefier sounding than a Les Paul. I like it because I try to go for my own sound.
I used to own a mid-seventies Tele Custom. Best playing guitar I ever owned. Plus it had the Les Paul style controls and a humbucker in the rhythm positon.

God bless.
