Epiphone les Paul Our son and his friend on a zeppelin bender

Yesterday our one sons friend came over with his Christmas epiphone Les Paul tribute plus. Great guitar for this young man Iam serious , quality no more mystery wood from Chinese epiphone solid mahogany.
Long tenon
Maple cap
Carved top
Gibson 57 humbuckers
CT’s pots
Orange caps

I hooked his mother up in buying it it was used and I even tossed in a case for the young rocker screw a gig bag awesome ax needs a case so I gave him one yesterday even has the pink lining inside . We had dads guitar school yesterday ok what do you little animals wanna learn, zeppelin since I been loving you they said hey we can do that.

So we all plugged in too the 1 watt heads tuned up and was on our way about 230 pm we had a taco break my wife stopped and got the big order of tacos 18 tacos and three taco salads I said we have three teenagers dear we better go grande order she laughed over the phone it is a awesome Mexican restaurant.

And we nailed it note for note we’re about halfway thru since I been loving you. And took a break and I taught them the opening of the lemon song his friend is coming back today for more totally free dad guitar institute we never charge. But they’re will be a test after the review and it will be graded by this guitar educator

I was in high school when that record came out and had just gotten introduced to pot. My boyfriend and I had heavy duty stoned makeout sessions in his van to this album. Ah, memories...

What a great dad you are!

I mowed lawns all summer to save $125 for a no-brand Sears Les Paul copy, cherry sunburst.

It was cheap, but it did the job. After a year of lessons & practice, when it got to the point where the low quality of the instrument was holding back my progress, I had saved enough to buy a black Ibanez Iceman. Yes, I was a KISS fan & wanted Paul Stanley's guitar. I still have it, but I modified it a bit. The biggest addition was a tremolo that I designed & built in high school, in my dad's workshop. I mounted the original tailpiece/bridge on a pivoting brass plate & cut out the body for springs. With the addition of a locking nut, the thing worked & stayed in tune.

I'm trying to teach my son, but he has zero interest in playing acoustic. He wants to be Buckethead or John Five lol.

Thinking about getting him lessons on the electric, but I really think he needs to learn acoustic first..but what does mom know?!
