Very nice. Shame it is arse about, and has too many strings.
I had to look up the NGD meaning as I don’t speak internet.
That’s awesome! If he had a chick backing band he could be called Digger and the pussycstsI was thinking of getting into cigar box guitar making and diddley bows..looks like fun

Ha ha, I've working in ICT for 45 years so I speak fluent TLA.I had to look up the NGD meaning as I don’t speak internet.
It's a Artist LP59TRB which is their Translucent Black version of the 59 Les Paul, which has a mahogany body with a carved maple top and a set mahogany neck. The stock pickups are really quite good and are coil tapped, so a lot of tonal options are available, with the neck pickup particularly good in coil tap mode into a clean or very slightly overdriven amp. In humbucking mode they are medium output but full sounding and the bridge pickup is very rock.Cool Axe. Is that is an epiphone?
I nodded sagely, as I read your description, but really I was all.............Ha ha, I've working in ICT for 45 years so I speak fluent TLA.

Some other features are roller Tune-O-Matic bridge, locking tuners, bone nut, 12” radius fingerboard and Split Coil Push-Pull on the volume pots.
My Translucent Black is in fact slightly blue which is great, as it looks good sitting next to my trusty ancient blue strat.
I'm playing mine through pedals into a Wet/Dry amp setup... the amps being a Laney VC15 and a Vox PF15R, and it sounds great.
Twelve strings more than I can cope with unless I can hit it with sticks.
Wow, what an axe… with a trapeze tailpiece and six drone strings it must ring like a mofo…
It does. Something about its natural resonance really emphasises the A-pair when played open, you can feel it through your body! It packs quite a wallop when paired with a moderately-driven Marshall, even at neighbour-friendly volume.Wow, what an axe… with a trapeze tailpiece and six drone strings it must ring like a mofo…
Maybe a tad surprising, but most stuff can be adapted to the 12; lead-type stuff with lots of string bending gets messy because it's damn near impossible to bend the paired strings evenly, so best not to try... It's generally better as a rhythm instrument, where the harmony-tuned strings really thicken the sound, which is good for playing stuff on your own that was originally done on multiple guitars or even different instruments! But it also works really well for bluesy slide stuff.Nice guitar @The Duckmeister, what kind of style does the 12 string lends its self to?
I don’t think I could even tell the difference with my playing ability. I would also ride a Giant tooAs for it’s only an Epiphone… pffft. Who cares what’s on the headstock, if it plays and sounds great.
