*sigh* fiiiiiine, i'll take all your stuff. seeing as you don't want it... when can you bring it over?
This really isn't about whats best, they are both great iconic guitars and i want them both. But i am approaching the point in my life where my wife will let me get a new guitar, i have ground her down.
I have played both, i am leaning to the les paul first, as there is no compromise for me i would like a gibson not an epiphone, but when it comes to the fenders the mim’s are so good i think i would be happy dropping a grand on a road worn and drop a further £500 with my guitar tech to mod it. Fenders are such raw simple organic beauties, but when it comes to les pauls i think i just want a gibson (nothing against epi’s)
God i wish i was rich and my wife was not so stern. The custom shop relic reissue teles are mind blowing but £3800 is absurd.
So, thats kinda of my dilemma i have to compromise on one, and i think entry fenders are better than the epiphone entry les pauls in my experience, so i think get the gibson, get a cheaper tele and mod it.
Any advice for this terrible horrific 1st world problem i find myself in?
This is a very impressive collection of Roto Toms. That's 21 Roto Toms in all. That is only $33.00 a Roto Tom.
But it's not the fault of the feeeeemaaaales. It's the fault of those individuals for being in relationships where they act like children and can't make their own responsible decisions. Obviously that is an extrapolating from taking their comments literally and I'm sure they're exaggerating their lack of power in the marriage for internet points (quite why you get internet points for that I don't know).
On a more serious note, I'm not sure if it's a lack of power (exaggerated or otherwise) or it's down to choices they have made where they made a choice early on to be essentially mothered by their spouses. The number of married men that are simply unable to cook, clean, iron or even do basic grocery shopping that I have met in person is astounding so if you extrapolate that up into population numbers you've probably got tebs of thousands of man-babies who have to be looked after in so many regards that their wives probably would think "well, why should you get a Les Paul when you can't even keep your underoos unskidded?" They've not lost 'power', they gave away equal standing as fast as they could so they wouldn't have to do 'wimmin's work'.

Yeah I totally agree. Which is why I said "It's the fault of those individuals for being in relationships where they act like children". These people chose to be in this situation.

My wife won’t let me buy stuff either. “Let”. Hah. Nah. she actually gets pretty upset with me but it’s because I’m really bad at money management. Plus I’m like a kid at heart so I still want all the fun toys.
It’s a shame there isn’t a better way to get goods. Like some kind of barter system...
Hahahahaha

I don't even give it that much credence, every time I see references to wives laying down the law I just imagine it's a dumpy middle-aged white guy doing "my wife" in Borat voice. It's shitty comedy that's supposed to be some kind of basic bonding experience for (straight) men.
well, tbf my relationships have been universally with rather dominant women in the relationship-management sense, and i've been too complicit. i'm attracted to women who take no shit and give no quarter, and for some reason am then surprised when they clean my clock. not that i didn't deserve it either. anyway, it's not a "dem wimmins" thing, it's a "i really like not having to compromise" thing. my last partner really didn't like the last 2 or 3 guitars i bought, but she had nothing to say since i always keep separate accounts. and now nobody else has any say at all
