Can’t believe I missed National Guitar Day yesterday! This 1960 baby is a Rock ‘n’ Roll machine! I bought it from Chelsea guitars in 1993 (that’s 11 years before I joined New York Dolls.) It had a horrible finish on it so I designed this color scheme & had it painted Olympic white w/ red tortoise shell guard to mimic the look of my favorite Fender P Bass. The P-90 pickup, neck and body are the original, the bridge, tuners and knobs have been changed because…I’m a player! #nationalguitarday #gibson #lespaul #junior #lespauljunior (at Copenhagen, Denmark) https://www.instagram.com/p/CokGyEtoi5m/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For #MusicmasterMonday...I give you the 1959 #ES140 3/4T, #Gibson's version of a #Fender#Musicmaster! 😉

Well...sort of. They are both "student" guitars anyway...

But being 3/4 sized guitars and intended for beginners is just about where the similarities end between the Fender and Gibson Student offerings*. The Musicmaster, in the finest Fender tradition, was a simply constructed, solid slab-body guitar, with a bolt-on, one piece maple neck, plain desert sand finish (albeit with a snazzy anodized metal pickguard) and no embellishments or decoration to speak of.

The ES-140, on the other hand, in the finest Gibson tradition, was a set-neck, arched top, hollow body, with floating bridge, tort pickguard, mahogany neck with brazillian rosewood fingerboard, bound body, and finished in a serious and dignified Gibson three tone sunburst. These later 140s were thinlines, but in the earlier 50s they were full depth like a real Jazz Box!

So I guess the Musicmaster was the mini guitar you would buy for an up-and-coming little rocker (or if you wanted to save a few bucks because you knew your kid would give up after like 3 lessons 🤣), while the ES-140 was basically a miniature #ES125 T for the budding Jazz Master in the family!

*of course Gibson also made a solid body called the #LesPaulJunior 3/4 which would actually be a better student model to compare to the Musicmaster. But I digress... 😂

Hell on Wheels!

1998 #CustomTelecaster with 1961 #FenderConcert 1961 #LesPaul Junior with 1964 #Fender#Bassman 1969 #Gibson#SGStandard with 1962 Fender #Tremolux.

But forget the gear for a second, and check out those awesome (if I do say so myself...) home made amp dollies!

If you didn't see my stories yesterday, I am cleaning out the house and was getting rid of some old, low quality, storage shelves that had been taking up space in the closet now known as "Case Cavern". None of my friends wanted these old wobbly shelves, so I took them apart for easier disposal.

Then the idea hit me: I could use the shelves as amp platforms! And better yet: I could put wheels on them and transform them into amp dollies, so I could just roll my bigger amps into position for photo sessions instead of killing my back every time I wanted to snap a few pics!

Now, keep in mind that I am the least "handy" man in the world, so even a simple DIY project like this was an immense challenge for me. 🤣 But I spent yesterday acquiring wheels and screws at the local hardware store, and fastening them to the bottom of 4 shelves. And here is the result: rolling amp dollies. I think I will stain them next...for that added decorative touch! 😉

Now I'm thinking of going into business. Some product names I have been mulling over:

*The TrAMPsporter* *Amp Buddy* *Back-Saver 3000* *Roadie's Friend* *Hello Dolly* *The "Roll & Rock" Amp Mobility System*

If you can think of any more, let me know below...winner gets a (small) cut of the profits! 😂

One of the few Gibson’s I’d like to own.

Repost from @deebeeus - Always so nice to come home to: 1961 #Gibson #LesPaul Junior and 1970 #Marshall #Model2022 #Lead20. These two were made for each other.
