[stratcatism]

good stuff. always enjoy listing to your playin.

[MichaelGaard]

Really nice...

It's an SG Junior though... :-)

[fendermac]

@MichaelGaard ...Thanks.The guitar is as described in the title - a 1962 Les Paul Junior.The scratchplate is an SG Jnr one.Maybe that is what confused you.

[MichaelGaard]

@fendermac Wake up man :-) What you have there is a SG Junior. You do know the difference between a Les Paul and SG right???

Yes before the Les Paul came out, the SG was called Les Paul, but what you're playing is a SG JUNIOR.

Nothing confused me at all :-)

Try google "SG Junior" and try google "Les Paul Junior" and see what comes out :-)

[fendermac]

@MichaelGaard ...You're rude and ignorant and the guitar is a 1962 Les Paul Junior.

[guyinfuckinghat]

@MichaelGaard go watch the boys in the band video fendermac posted its a les paul jr

[MnMykl]

@MichaelGaard In 1954 the Les Paul Jnr was first released, and in 1961 Gibson changed it’s body shape to what we know as the SG shape. The name “SG” didn’t come until much later so this is correctly titled “Les Paul Jnr” as in 1962 that's what it was called. Interestingly all the original SG shaped guitars where marketed by Gibson as “Les Pauls” for quite a long time before the “SG” name was adopted. So Fendermac is 100% correct.

[fendermac]

@MnMykl ...Thank you...I think MichaelGaard just likes to be a bit rude and argue a lot.Lol

[stratdenice]

Yes, that's the one ! Your rendition and tone are gorgeous, man ! Nice flow !

[fendermac]

@stratdenice ....Thank you kindly.

[knoll1964]

I love the tone. What kind of amp are you using? Any pedals? Thanks!!

[fendermac]

@knoll1964 ...Boogie MkIV - no pedals - thanks

[opdev]

What's the amp??

[fendermac]

BoogieMkIV

[renocalifornia]

sweet jam my man! there for a second i thought you were going to play a bit of "dreamers ball"  what pick do you use if i may ask? rock on my brother!

[fendermac]

Thank you kindly...I use small,heavy Clayton or Fender 'teardrop' type picks

[fendermac]

@renocalifornia ....instead of 'heavy' I should have said stiff really.The Claytons are Delrin or Ultem teardrops 0.8mm thick.The Fenders are unmarked but might be the same or maybe 1mm

[x2n22]

[PED51]

Hey Fendermac, have just found you, you have one hell of a guitar collection and play some real nice blues. I am from the same era as you and also jam to blues tracks. Have you tried the jam tracks by Ralph Agresta on cd. Also, have you been in a band I might have seen here in the UK. Love your playing...

[fendermac]

Thank you so much.Bilko in the '70s,TheCritics in the '80s and TwoDown around '90...I doubt you'll have heard of any of 'em.lol

[fendermac]

I'll see if I can find Ralph Agresta...thanks again.

[PED51]

Thanks for your reply Fendermac, no I haven't seen the bands mentioned. Playing live can be a buzz but I don't miss those late nights and work the next day thats for sure. I will enjoy your postings, thanks for the entertainment. That SG Jnr sounds gorgeous by the way, good luck...

[fendermac]

You're not wrong.lol.There's a lot to be said for the comfort of yer own home.

[strwy2hvn94]

is that an Sg with ONE P-90?!

[fendermac]

It's a '62 Les Paul Junior.Thanks for dropping by.

[daviemcf]

I would love an SG Paul! Great blues as usual.

[fendermac]

You're very kind.

[fendermac]

Thank you so much

[Jazzguts]

In Zen there's a saying,you're holding back, that's maturity,playing the right notes,what the music needs,nothing more is needed, you know that secret,greets,enjoy my Stumble,greets Victor.

[eddiegrey]

Really tasty, man...you make that Paul Jr purr and cry...thanks for the share!

[fendermac]

You're welcome..Thanks for the comment.

[fendermac]

It's a buyers market I'm afraid and I don't really know anybody(plus I'm a bit lazy),but thanks a lot anyway.

[Bleadbelly1]

Pack the day job in Paul & give the music world a go.
