My Gibson L5s
I've had a steady gig at a pretty exclusive resort for the last 5 years. For the first few years, I played in one of their bars, which was fun, but always a bit loud. For the last few years, they've moved me to an area that is a more intimate listening area. So I adapted my set by doing more original material (which I have plenty), and substituted a lot of my harder hitting acoustic blues to a more laid back singer songwriter approach, with way more finger-picking. So today, to change things up, I brought one of my electric guitars into the mix specifically to finger-pick some of those songs with. I spent a few days at home getting used to playing this guitar straight into my Alix preamp at performance volume levels. Well today was the acid test, and I'm happy to say, it was a total success. I really loved the tone I was getting from this guitar...

Sweet guitars - sorry I didn't score one back in the day...

But the strangest thing happened, I found this one two weeks later, and between the two, I like the tone of this one slightly better. Although it's in great shape, it's not as mint as the first one, so I don't mind taking this one out as much to play. I would never play it in a bar but it's fine taking it to the stage of my house gig. The downside it's a bit heavier so I need a padded strap with this one. |
