My bands loading in our gear at the Whiskey in Hollywood getting ready to do sound check. All the other bands on the nights bill are milling around checking out the competition.
I pull out my '75 Les Paul Standard, that looks like a guitar that's been played 31 years should look. No fake relic here, the real thing. Anyway, one of the guitar players from one of the other bands shouts out "nice Les Paul" with a really condescending tone, and all his little cronies laugh like a bunch of school girls. I do my best "Revenge of the Nerds" voice and say "thanks"!
We are doing the sound check and I look out in the crowd of faces and all the other bands guitar players with their AAAAA Flamed Maple Top Custom Shop blah, blah Gibson's have their collective jaws laying on the floor. After the sound check they surround me and start asking what kind of pickups are in the guitar. I laugh and tell them "these are just regular old Gibson pickups", and walk a way.
After the gig they surround me again and ask again what kind of pickups are in the guitar. Forty drinks later, which they paid for of course, :P I finally tell them they're Bare Knuckle Nailbombs.
Tim should be hearing from a bunch of guys from Hollywood soon! :twisted:
