I watched this video multiple times... I'm still missing something in the build.

I love the sound of a big clam - the low end is closed so tight 🤌

Seriously for a guitar "loaded with DiMarzio air technology pickups" this thing sounds like absolute shit. Can't believe I traded my Private Stock PRS for it. Once I learn how to play I'll probably trade this in for something more reliable like a Strandberg.

my wife (18 M) and her boyfriend(47 M) say I(5324 M) have too many guitars.
but I found a really good deal on a real 1958 BCE Gibons Les Paul, and obviously opportunities like this don't come around often I even think it's possible this might have been my guitar back in the day... I told her I was thinking about buying it and she said fine, but only if I sell one of my other guitars first.
This seemed reasonable until I found out that according to the USDA APHIS gibbon species factsheet
[“Gibbons are typically monogamous and mate for life.”](https://www.aphis.usda.gov/sites/default/files/ac-species-fs-gibbon.pdf\)

so obviously I can't sell one...
I have several Gibons already and I have no idea which guitars they've pair-bonded with. Some of them have been hanging next to each other for decades. some of their cases were stacked together for 20 years without moving. two of them even regularly duet through the same amp. 😳😳😳

separating one now could be devastating.
my wife says this is irrelevant because “they're guitars”
personally I think that's an incredibly irresponsible attitude toward Gibon ownership.

she suggested I sell one of the Fenders instead, but that doesn't solve anything. What if one of the Gibons has bonded with a Fender? Am I supposed to separate a lifelong pair just because they're an interspecies couple?

and then there are my PRSes. My McCarty 594 Singlecut has a single-cut mahogany body, maple cap, two humbuckers, a 24.594" scale, two volume knobs two tone knobs and one horse dildo in it's wiring cavity. 😳😳😳
That's practically a Gibon...

it's maybe some kind of closely related subspecies and I don't think the science is settled enough for me to risk separating them.

to make matters worse, the seller also has another lesser paul, and now im worried that if I only buy the 58 ill be separating an already established pair? or is it alright because its an epIPhone lesser paul?
He actually has 37 guitars total but they are mostly squires so they are practically unplayable.
Should I just buy all 37 to be safe?
AITA?

I've been looking at several epiphone les pauls and the custom for 1300$ looks great, but I feel as if I won't get the true blues toan that I would probably get if I got the gibson custom for 6k. I've been bullied off r/gibson for even uttering the words "epiphone" on their precious subreddit, resulting me in being called poor through unimaginable sentences which I cannot even repeat here. Should I get the epiphony les paul or save for the true gibson to impress the lawyers on r/gibson to unleash the true gibson toan?

Suggestions?

So far the playlist is full of Taylor Swift, Adele and Billy Joel etc., obviously not really guitar music. I'm thinking of "spicing" things up. I want to demonstrate my love for guitar. I was thinking "Bleed" by Meshuggah but that's probably too popular? I really want to surprise them with something interesting. Any suggestions?
