Those are just the flashier versions of the ones I use now.

Now, now... No need to put the fred down! ?

I once knew a mathematician who was deathly afraid of negative numbers and would stop at nothing to avoid them! ?

*Wonders if that Bapster saw the negative sign...* ?

You know you're a math geek when you say you're going to -4 instead of 7-11! ?

Pick each string individually at once??? Brilliant! ?

But can it deliver a pizza? ? ?

Check your messages! ?

At least he was 82! Seeing too many go that are MUCH younger lately... RIP!

I just want to know if Bob was offended for being a square? ?

Poor bun is thinking "How I have to degrade myself just to get some food around here!" ?

Bubble wrap is better! ? https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/66060262

Gaudy: ~ noun: "Extravagantly bright or showy." We wanted to see just how over the top we could make the guitar look. It must have worked, since Bo used to hang it in a display box on his wall! ?

Yep, all three had extended tone options! I just replied to your other request and... my reply is hidden until it can be approved by a moderator! (Really? ?)

Ya... Me neither... *Sigh...* ?

? Or... ?

Here are the original images I used when selling the guitar on ebay: https://www.nwdreamer.com/pics/Sold/GaudyPaulGuitar/ Each of the three guitars shared the following characteristics (and replaced 14 other guitars! LOL!): All hand-built by Jeff Miller Les Paul Studio Double-Cut style PRS 25" scale Music Man Axis neck radius (14" if I recall correctly) Beyond Master Grade curly maple tops Other, probably illegal now, custom woods for the neck and body (?) Pickups from Bare Knuckle pickups in the UK (www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk) Custom necks from Soulmate Guitars (www.soulmateguitars.com) and inlays from Bryan England (www.custominlay.com). Custom electronics from Deaf Eddy (www.deaf-eddie.net) The idea was, like a good set of golf clubs which should all feel the same, they would all just do different things! The Raspberry Twist guitar had the Variax guts inside with Classic Rock passive pickups. The Gaudy Paul had custom electronics, an Original Floyd Rose tremolo and a set of pickups that provided more of a Gilmour sound (plus it was made of Wenge and weighed a ton! It could sustain for over three and a half minutes!). The one in my member icon (called the Aqua Rocker) was the last built. I had paid for it before getting wiped out by all the illegal stuff back in 2009 but, since I hadn't taken delivery, the bankruptcy court didn't know about it and force me to basically give it away. It also features custom electronics, but with more modern-sounding pickups and a Wilkenson tremolo. It's also made of Korina (a.k.a., Black Limba) and is less than half the weight of the Gaudy Paul! Unfortunately, life being what it is, the Aqua Rocker is also back up for sale on ebay... Yay, life! ?

More of a wing-wang thing! ?

Thanks for the replies! I wish I could take credit for the solos, but that would be Jon Gill (the guy in London). I did all the lyrics except for the break, helped create the melody and song structure, then played some of the rhythm guitar (along with trying to teach our singer, Bouke, how to sing in English! ? Although I technically still own that Raspberry guitar, it's currently in Ohio with the luthier that built it. I should be getting it back sometime in the near future. I had three customs built by this guy (Jeff Miller) and Bo (Space Cowboy) bought one (called the Gaudy Paul) back when I got wiped out. Unfortunately, Bo has passed away so I have no way of knowing where that guitar went to! ?

Oh, and, most importantly, thanks for the feedback on Jim's video! I noticed a few things I can help him with (which included the sound levels as well, but definitely did not include any recommended improvements to his playing, tone or compositions! ?). I'd love to find out if he's actually recorded any of his stuff because I'd really like to have it playing in the background while I'm doing other things. He texted me that he had forgotten to mute his mic which accounted for the dryer buzzer sounds! LOL. ? I also have some tips he could use for better use of his two cameras. I'll probably talk with him either later today or tomorrow (need to do some intense mathematical calculations for a program I'm writing first! ? ).

Hehe... I had to goggle what Dal Makhani was! Looks dangerous. Maybe @Mesh might know of one? (It sounded like a good name for a disk jockey: "Put your hands up and give it up for DJ Dal Makhani!!! ???)

Thanks! The synth I used was either a Korg N5 or a Korg MS-2000 (I had both the keyboard and the rack versions). I don't recall which I used because I would often play the MS-2000R (rack version) using the N5 as a controller. Heck, the "acoustic" guitar on Carefree was actually one of my other custom guitars ("Raspberry Twist" - see pic below) that has Variax guts in it! ?
