Les Paul Standard Premium Plus II

Now that we are done with touring I decided to finally finish this little report about my equipment, so here is another Les Paul of mine, again a Les Paul Standard Premium Plus, this time in wine red. It is pretty much the same guitar as my other Standard Premium Plus, this one is equiped with the original Gibson Burstbuckers though and sounds incredibly good. Getting this guitar was perfect for two reasons, first of all it is an awesome guitar that immediately made it into my personal top 3 of guitars, and the second reason is that now I don't have to wonder anymore if I should take the EMG 81 pickups out of the other Standard Premium Plus to replace them again with the Burstbuckers, with those two guitars I can have both variations :-) (Pic taken by Nina Voronova)

The end of the tour

Are those 18 months really gone? Somehow it feels as we played the first warm up show last week, and on the other hand it also feels like Wacken for example has been years ago already, somehow I always lose my track of time on the road. But one thing I know for sure, it has been an awesome time, a great tour and I want to thank everybody involved for making it happen. A big thank you goes to our crew, who always did their best to make every show work, and a very special thanks to all of you of course, our fans, without you all this would not have been possible. See you again on the next tour!

Soundcheck

We just finished the soundcheck for the show in Krefeld, so far everything worked perfectly fine and we are ready for the final show of this tour. In my opinion the setlist is perfect for a show like this, but of course I won't tell you anything about this now, it would spoil the surprise ;-) It will be a very special evening for us and a worthy final gig, so see you all in about 4 hours.
