Les Paul customs are very expensive now. Mine is a very limited edition. & I paid over $4,000 for it new. It is a reissue of the 1968 Les Paul custom VOS and very few were issued in classic white. The paint aged to the nice cream color at the factory. It's not that bright alpine white that regul...

Laaz

Where they ever issued on a production model Gibson? Yes only on 1972 & early 73 Les Paul customs and not all had them. Like I said super rare... First one has mini's http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-1972-Gibson-Les-Paul-Deluxe-Goldtop-w-Case_W0QQitemZ250550965702QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item3...

Any favorite picks you use? Always use Dunlop or Fender heavy picks and Ernie Ball super slinky .009's. These kids can still nickle & dime you with setup's, strings, pickup swaps... Hell I just picked up two sets of NOS 1972 Embossed Gibson pickup covers that are super rare and impossible to fi...

Laaz

Thanks Steve. I'll have to check them out.

Laaz

Great job Steve. Where did you get the seeds ?

Laaz

These kids stay quite until you want to here from them.

Yeah, but right now my ears are bleeding. Once you get them all out you need to crank em up for a few hours...

Laaz

Had to get the kids cleaned up for Christmas...

Left to right : 1997 USA Strat, 2007 68 reissue VOS Les Paul custom, 1981 E2 Explorer, 2005 Mahogany Explorer.

Lowest we have been so far was 34 F last night. Very light frost. Hope we keep this up all winter.

Laaz

Why? Growing Robusta up here just fine and Bismarkia is only slightly less hardy

Bizzys will not tolerate any cold moisture. Believe me I have tried them here & none have made it. Our lows only get down to low 20's.

Laaz

This is what you call a die hard citrus addict. Greg flew into the Southeast citrus expo here in Lake City South Carolina all the way from BC ! He was just a little intoxicated... Not me

Next year maybe we can get Barrie down here.

Laaz

Heres a few pics. Came out crappy but what the hell. BTW got this Marshall 1/2 stack MG 100 series off Craigslist a couple months ago for $200. Sound much better at low volume than the tube amp. Thinking about selling my JCM 800 and getting the JVM 410... http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/7993/thre...

I hear ya Barrie. I'll wait a while to see if they grow on me. Check out this vid, a great song with killer bass & guitar. BTW Dave's black strat is a 1957 routed for humbuckers and is actually Paul Kossoff's old guitar that Dave picked up in the late 70's after Paul died. http://www.youtube.com...

We need to update this thread. I just picked up a NOS 1997 Fender american strat in natural ash. I changed out the pickguard because the black looks much better. Removing the pickguard I see it has the "swimming pool" rout... Never much like the single coils, might just buy another pickgua...

Laaz

They are sold here in HD and Lowes all the time. They are not very hardy as far as the leaves go, with frost killing them back all the time

Laaz

I fixed the links.

Laaz

I have a few of each of these. I got them from Marc at http://www.hardytropicals.com/palms.html Very nice quality palms.

Laaz

John they have great palms and I have gotten a few from them in the past. Problem is they will not ship palms larger than 1 gal. I tried to get them to ship some 15 gals and they would not. Mail Order Shipping Terms: Plants only shipped bare-root. Bare-root handling charges: $.25 per liner, $1.00 pe...

Laaz

There is no way to tell until they flower. Yours are a little small to flower yet. Most in this area have about 6-8 ft of clear trunk before they start to flower. I have one with over 9 ft of trunk that still hasn't flowered.

Laaz

Well... The regular queens do fine here (If I don't fry them with lights

). So these may have a bit more hardiness. I get some frond burn, but by June they are back to looking great...

Laaz

Thanks guys.

John thats what I want to know... Will just have to wait & see.

Barb you mean Brutus & Athena ? Trouble #1 & trouble #2

Laaz

Any plans for making preserves from the Butia fruit? Hey Barrie. No, too much work. Hell if I was going to make anything it would be wine. :wink: The Butias are loaded this time of year, each rack of seed is about 100 lbs. Most trees have 2 racks with some having 3-4 racks. Most people cut them off...

Laaz

Can't wait to see some of those butia fruit sprouted.

I'll have some seed available in a week or so, after I have them cleaned.

Laaz

Looks good, but European fan palm will sucker like crazy and if you don't keep up with it it will branch out in front of the windows over time. Needls sucker but don't really trunk and much slower growing.

You may want to try Home Depot. They have had all of their 3 gal palms on sale for $9.95 for a while down here. That included Needles over growing their pots. If they don't have them in stock, they may be able to order some in. The grower is Morning star nursery I believe. My needles have seed on th...

He looks a little anorexic. Heres a few on my citrus tress. These guys are everywhere in my palms & citrus.

Laaz

You have many options. Heres a quick photoshop. Trachy / sabal minor / needle / sabal minor / trachy.

Laaz

Hey Steve thy are doing great. I lost all the Encephalartos horridus but every thing else is doing great. The horridus got nailed by moles so I may try them again with something to protect the roots.

Laaz

That depends on the palm and the seller. Sabal Palmettos are retailing for $145 each no matter what size right now.

Most Filifera do not like the humidity. but you will find some that tolerate it quite well.

Aaron the low last winter was 23 F twice for a few hours.

Great photos Aaron. Looks like a great trout stream as well.
