WARNING STAY AWAY!!! This Post is for Gibson guys only!!!

 This Post is for Gibson guys only!!! 

What the F. is this all about. Well G. guys I will have to tell you.

In polls the best guitar on the planet winner is always the Gibson Les Paul Standard.
Yes in actual numbers the Fender Stratocaster out sells it in volumes!

There are two well armed camps.
The Fender lovers who are mostly divided between a Stratocaster or a Telecaster 
The Gibson lovers that are mainly Les Paul then secondly SG lovers.

1959 Les Paul Standard

1950 Telecaster

1954 Statocaster

Now whichever camp you join in order to learn your craft you became very impressed with players that played both Fender's and Gibsons. In fact you from time to time
felt the urge to own one.
Admit it !!!!
But there are many reasons why you didn't give in.

BUT !!!
So you were at your fav music store and pulled down a Strat and plugged it in. The very first thing is the neck looked longer then a flag pole!!! it felt even longer. The 9.5 neck radius with the skinny frets choked your string bends.
The Strat neck PU did have that chime you secretly admired and the middle PU was passable but the neck PU distorted sounded like a cheap Asian  guitar!!! It was a joke!!!!

You then checked out a Tele with another looooong neck. the neck pickup was as bland as dish of cheap vanilla ice cream. BUT the spank on the bridge pickup distorted was damn nice ...so nice you forgot about the neck. Well you forgot for a at least a few minutes.

Bottom line FORGET IT!!!!
but yooooooooou haven't forgot it ....have you?

OK GIBSON LOVERS
There is an answer to the Fender dilemma.

Just Google .... 
THE SECOND BEST GUITAR ON THE PLANET!

Gibson guys only.
Fender guys not welcome.   LOL 

The LENARD F-4G 
 expected
March 2020.

PREVIEW

manufactures first sketch of the prototype being worked on as you are reading this note.

No whammy ya don't use one. So ya got the hardtail bridge.

The only consistent and great PU in a Tele ...the bridge. Ya got one

The only real Strat PU's in every Strat ...the middle and neck. Ya got em.

The all maple neck looks Fender BUT ...Fender necks are not 24 3/4"scale with medium Jumbo frets with a medium C profile neck with a 12" radius!  It does not look like a Les Paul neck but put your hand around it and surprise ...it is a Gibson R9 neck!

The Strat came out in 1954 and the Tele in 1950. The body on the F-4G is our take on a 1952 Fender that never was which is a cross between the two.

Best of all your buddies will not rib you of going over to the Fender camp after bragging for years about your Gibson!

Finally the model name F-4G

 F ...Fender

 4 ...for

 G ...Gibson aficionado!
