Very nice,
You do your own luthier work?

I dabble but I am not great

I do most of it ..... I saved a 1982 35th Anniversary Les Paul Standard from the trash.

I refinished it and used Nitrocellulose Lacquer, which is a two month process.

A bit unrelated but related to the guitar. I got to see Les Paul play in NYC about a year before he passed. He was still shredding in his 90s. It was funny because there was a line of people after the concert waiting for Les' autograph. One was a kid with a white Fender Strat he wanted signed. Les looked at him and said, "You do realize what this is - right?" The kid looked kinda sheepish but Les signed it anyway. Nice guy. He actually took some time with each person and chatted with us. I had him sign one of his albums for my brother who has several Les Pauls in his collection.

Mr Paul was the kind of guy that legends called a legend.

My son just ordered me this Mini PC. Attaches to the back of a standard monitor, comes with a 1 terabyte hard drive, WiFi, Blue Tooth, 4k display, dual HDMI, and is fast. It does more than my big ole tower and cost about $250. I just ordered an amp for it for $40 so I can power my bookshelf Klipsch speakers with it. Stupid small.
