Well, not really. Just a vague reference to the hour spent yesterday afternoon with one of the guys from work playing guitar. He'd come to collect his rather worn 90s Gibson Les Paul. I do a bit of work on guitars on the quiet (mostly on my own) and he'd asked me to do a set-up on it - probably more desperately need than any other guitar I've had my hands on. He seemed pleased enough with the end result and even threatened to play it at a gig this afternoon.

Most of the rest of the afternoon just went to prove what an awful guitarist I am in comparison to anyone that actually tries a little bit - must learn to put a little more effort in. Still, at least I managed to pick up the basic chords for Hendrix' "Hey Joe".

Here's a picture of that Les Paul though. Apparently it used to be wine red, but it's been refinished at some point.
