I have a couple hours to decide whether to return this 1959 Les Paul Special to its rightful owner, or whether to make a new life with it in [redacted]. please don't be mad if no one answers the door at 5. I'll be good to her

Yep... here we go again! My family and I came to Owen Sound 11 months ago, a bit on a whim - our tiny downtown condo had become insufferably cramped - with nowhere to go during the first-wave lockdown, the walls were closing in on us and life had become low-key miserable for the three of us. We have family in the OS area (and none in Toronto) so the move made a lot of sense. We were hoping to stay here for at least a couple years while the COVID madness subsided - back in September 2020, there was no clear ETA for a vaccine so the short term future was murky at best. Alas, the vaccine came a lot quicker than we expected and my scientist of a wife now has to go back to where her work is, which is downtown TO. I'll be moving the shop somewhere close to our new home in Mimico (exact shop location still TBD). I'll be forever grateful to beautiful Owen Sound for welcoming us and giving Rainville Audio some of the best months of its young life. I met a whole bunch of cool people here and I'll be looking forward to coming back to visit and cycle the trails 🚴‍♂️ So long Owen Sound, and thanks for all the fish! 🎣🙏

Special visit at the shop today - 1957 narrow-spaced PAF off an L5, and a good ol' 1959. What do y'all think? We rewind them to 22k and swap the magnets for modern ceramic?🤘😈🤘

I have a pretty light touch on the guitar, so I'm routinely amazed by some of the wear patterns I see on customers' instruments. Never mind the rust - look at the grooves on this bobbin 😲
