Wish I could say they were Gibsons, but they are both well-made copies.

The first one a Santander ES-335 model, which I bought almost brand new a few years ago and I have to say it plays better than any Epiphone I've laid my hands on. Really nice sounding and a comfortable neck.

The second is a 1969 Conrad, ES-175 model which I found on Ebay. Very nice patina and sounds good as well although the output is slightly lower.

Cool man, I think the coppies can be as good or better than there Gibson counterparts. Especially newer poorly made Gibsons. I own a Epi Les Paul Custom and with new pickups/nut/electronics it can hold its ground with pretty much most Gibson Standards/Studio's.

Yeah, I think so too. Just because it's a no-brand instrument doesn't mean the quality control is disregarded or anything. Epi for instance is well-known and widely used and has been for a long time, and that for a reason.

This is a picture of me and my Taylor 614ce it is my baby :)

Grow a beard, lose the sunglasses and the chain.

We're done here :laughing:

haha thank you! i actually recently saw a cream dvd from the 60s where Clapton had a mustasch, and well.... I HAD to have one. I have been growing it for the last week and it is almost totally in. I don't care if I look like I stepped out of a time machine, I play rock and roll god damnit! :dj:

I know what ya mean, dude. I mean, hell, I actually wear a vest, dress shirt, and pants when I play live. Depending on the venue, I ditch the vest and actually wear a blazer :rofl:

It adds a bit of charm and swagger to it, and it just looks cool as hell, to me at least. I never liked the whole idea of looking like you just rolled out of bed. Nor do I like the air-brushed Aquanet look.

So, I'm guessing that picture was taken prior to the decision to grow the mustache?

And by God, do not forget to grow out your hair! This world needs more hair. I think all the wars would end if everyone grew out their hair.

I keep mine pretty short :laughing: otherwise it'll get snagged at work and I'll probably lose my head :rofl:

Yeah it was, and I have to shave it tomorrow because I have to be in court. Then I will grow it again!! I will never give up :)

ALSO! My hair is the longest it has ever been. I'm goin Clapton all out. I will post a recent picture of me! Not sure if this is the place I have no instrument in it haha.
