Your very first guitar is a Gibson Les Paul? Wow… lucky you!

[scoobydoo]

Enters shop, goes straight to the wall of Paul’s, picks up a Burst and buys it. Now that’s a gal to my liking!😂 Congratulations!

[tommilitello]

Congratulations, your guitar center actually has a bunch of stock, mine looks like it got robbed

I gotta tell ya, the fact that someone who plays fiddle and “traditional” acoustic music bought a Les Paul is awesome. I never ready got into acoustic guitar but electric spoke to me for largely the same reason you bought that guitar: that fat rock sound! You’re gonna have fun! You will notice that many of the nuances of playing fiddle also apply to electric guitar especially with the overdrive channel on the Orange. Keep us updated!

I learned a long time ago I learned that if you buy what you really want in the first place, you'll only cry once. That's an incredible guitar.

For being a new player you sure are knowledgeable. You're on your way and you definitely made a wise choice. You have passion I can tell, and that's all you need.

It made me smile to watch you pick out, and play the different Les Paul's, and walk out the door with your new baby -- just like I smiled watching my young son do the same when he was 14 yrs. old. Loved this!

[paulquerengesser]

New gear day! Yay! Have fun discovering LPs and all the wonderful things they can do!

[killereverb]

For a fiddle player you made a very wise and well-reasoned selection of a guitar. I’ve been playing for 45 years and have owned Les Pauls. I would have picked the one you chose as well. Btw - y’all sound fantastic. Keep up the fine writing, singing and performing.

Ahhhh good ole Les Paul beautiful sound and color. enjoy making her sing!! ❤️

[BCBlue]

I love their accents...and excitement about shopping for guitars. Just think of the number of great players from Georgia.

[GrumpyMJK]

Yes! Gary Richrath was one of my first guitar hero that I connected with a Les Paul. All those old videos they would play on MTV live from Denver I believe. He made a huge impression on me, such memorable solos! Congrats on picking out a real beauty!

[stonephilips]

These Girls don’t mess around🤟🏽🎸Look forward to hearing it

[geniegoodrow]

Oh my!!!! You mentioned REO Speedwagon!!!! I’m a little surprised and startled. I’m 63 years old and have loved them since my teens. To hear them talked about by a young fiddle playing woman is absolutely astonishing and beautiful. Saw in concert almost all of the bands you mentioned in concert back in the 70’s. My favs back then were Zeppelin, 4 concerts, Stones, 4 concerts, Framton, one concert, The Who, one concert, and BTO, Allman Bros., and many more!

When you find the guitar that you can't live without, you know you found the right one! Congratulations!
I chuckled when you said "I like all the guitars." I have that problem too. I just ordered my 15th guitar and I know there are at least three more that I "need."

[danwilson]

... oh and it’s awesome you mention Gary Richrath. He was a great musician that I’m afraid who’s name will be lost to time.

[skithewhitestuff]

Nice story. That guitar was the one that caught my eye as soon as you walked up to that wall of Les Paul’s. Definitely my choice. Enjoy it!

Congrats, I'm so happy that you had a great experience buying your first guitar. I see some naysayers on here, but your experience and your impression is all that really matters, I'm sure G.C.s vary in different regions just like any retailers. You girls are so talented, and you've clearly poured a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into your various interests. It must be very rewarding, and give your lives great purpose now as your venturing into your adult lives. I want to encourage you as I've seen quite a few of your videos, and I don't think I've ever seen two such genuine, well rounded, mature, young ladies in my life. I know your mom's proud, and she should be. I pray that you know your value, and can see the benefit to the way you were raised and your Appalachian heritage. I realize that I'm just some random 35 year old on YouTube who's nostalgic about his Southern raising, but I'm really proud of you too, and frankly just thrilled to know that there are still purpose driven, conscious, articulate, truly beautiful young ladies out there, because that's not what I see for the most part.

Congratulations on your new purchase, I also like your soft rock influences. Looking forward to you sharing your progress with us.

You made an excellent choice in the Les Paul ‘60s spec Standard. It’s the purest of what one thinks of as a Les Paul. I’m personally a fan of the unburst finish. That’s an heirloom quality axe you can pass down to your children and grandchildren. Very cool!
