About Me

Okay for Starters... My nickname is HOLLYWOOD. It was given to me back in the early 80's from a very parcular incident that happen in New York City. It has to do a bit with the RECORD PLANT Recording Studios, SHOW WORLD, and a Band Name TRIGGER. Long story so if you wish to know, send a request.Now me today: I'm FUN & INTERESTING... never a dull moment that's what counts! LIVE THE LIFE!!! -- I've been saying that since I was a teenager and my old friend's say, "You Have"! No Regrets... Always Stay Young and Positive! Always willing to Explore and Discovery. I have traveled to over 50 Countries and lived in a few, very cool to understand other cultures and beliefs. I'm Subjective, not Objective...

Seen THE MOVIE so I'll fill this in with more Guitar stuff, LOL!!! 1979 Les Paul Artist redo in progress:The Brother to the Blue 'Holy Grail' guitar: 1979 Gibson Les Paul 'ARTIST' completely redone by Gibson's Custom Shop. This has a new 5A Quilt Maple top. The most Unusal aspect of this guitar is it was built only for 2 1/2 years, was the most expensive Gibson guitar at it's time 79-81(MSRP $1250), and has ACTIVE MOOG electronics! The Artist is a unique sounding guitar, with many tonal variations. With the tone controls in the "boost" position, the guitar takes on a unique tone that seems suited for jazz or chord work with Shimmering Arpeggios. It can be shaped to sound very "Fender-esque" or very dark and woody with the adjustment of the tone controls and switches. The compression feature greatly increases the volume of the guitar in addition to working like a normal outboard compressor. The neck is of medium thickness and is very comfortable to play. The guitar is slightly neck heavy in design due to the removal of wood for the active electronics and the Custom-style (large) peghead. five piece laminated maple neck with volute, a bass, treble, and one master volume pot, brass nut, new design "scarfed" cutaway back, black speed knobs, gold jack plate, Nashville bridge, block fingerboard inlays, multi-ply binding on the top of the body, neck, and peghead, and three mini-toggle switches for compression, expansion, and brightness. The tone controls are active, with a notch in the midway ("0") position. With the tone controls at this mid-point, the sound of the Artist is close to a traditional Les Paul tone. The tone controls below this mid position (selections numbered 1-5) or above mid position (also numbered 1-5) actively "cut" or "boost" the tone, respectively. The active circuitry is enabled (and battery drain occurs) when a cord is plugged into the guitar's phone jack.
