I've been looking at getting a new guitar. I've been playing a strat or tele for years now (with occasional forays to my Jackson for heavy metal pieces), but I don't have anything Gibson-like. I was thinking of maybe getting a Flying V, but I don't care for the super thick neck. I do like the thin 60s neck on the Les Paul Classic, though, so that's on my radar. I also checked out a PRS Mira at Sam Ash last week - it played really, really well and I liked the huge variety of tones. Any recommendations for Les Paul-style guitars? Shoot me an email.

I've had a bit of writer's block lately. While I've spent a lot of time practicing guitar, I can't seem to get words on the page. Not that I don't have ideas, though. I've been writing down lots of lines, even verses, but I can't seem to get that whole song out. I'm sure it'll come back, but it's frustrating. In the mean time I'm just going with the flow and making the most out of my guitar playing, and trying to get my chops as strong as possible.
