  1. Well said, Kuz.  

    My take on the whole thread is this:  Who cares?

    So an H150 might sound different from a Gibson LP.  So what?  That doesn't make it a bad or undesirable guitar.  The entire 'holy grail' thing about LP tone is utter nonsense.  Why should that be the standard by which everything else is judged?

    I think people should look at how much they enjoy an instrument's playability first--if you don't enjoy playing it, you're not likely to play it--, and maybe its sound later.  Sound can be altered in so many ways from pickups to pedals to amps to amp settings, and I think it's pointless to chase after some mythical sound they think they hear from something manufactured 65 years ago.

  2. I'd think most recording software would handle this with ease.  Just record your drums on one track, then play/record your guitar tracks while listening to the drums track.  That's basically how all my recordings are made.

    Reaper is excellent software for this purpose, and is free (well, in theory you're supposed to pay $60 for it after a trial period, but it can still be used whether or not you pay for it).

  3. My first reaction to this would be static electricity as well.  Had a Kirn Tele that drove me nuts....just touching the (plastic) pickguard would cause the noise.  Lining the underside of said pickguard with aluminum foil and making sure the foil was grounded to the control plate solved the problem, but I have no idea how you'd improve the grounding on a semi-hollow.  Perhaps the humidity level where you're playing is low?

  4. You know, there was a time when Fred would just let any stranger who wandered by try out the Centurion.  This pic is from the 2010 PSP.  All I remember about it is that it's BIG (I think I was playing an H137 at the time) and I'd better be damn careful with it.  A masterpiece.

  5. My old eyes are seeing a different finish on the back of the headstock compared to the back of the neck.  If the back of the headstock was at some point refinished, someone may have decided to do away with the serial number, assuming there was one.  Speculation's free, right?
