Paul in Colorado · December 6th, 2003, 11:29 AM

I traded a Keeley modded Boss Metal Zone for a Direct Drive. I didn't like the high end and sent it to Dave Barber. He didn't hear anything weird, but sent me a new one in exchange so I'd be happy. Now that's customer service!

I traded an MXR Dyna-Comp for a Broadcaster pickup that will be going in my Esquire-clone once I get it back from the paint shop. I hope to have it in my hands sometime in the next ten years...

I sold a '70's squareneck Dobro and a Gibson Heritage '80 Standard Les Paul and bought an as new '03 Stinger series Les Paul Historic '56 Les Paul Quilt Top in iced tea sunburst. Back in the '70's I traded off a '68 LP GT with P-90's. I've been searching for a Les Paul that compares for several years. I now have one that's even better!

On the horizon:
A new band so I have a reason for owning these jewels!
A job so I don't have to sell off anything.
The Esquire-clone finished and in my hot little hands!
A Gibson '61 SG reissue that will be getting the John Cipollina treatment. Stay tuned.
