Sure I’ll record something today though I have recordings of a professional concert guitarist playing it tooIs there any chance you could post some of the music you’ve played on this beautiful guitar ?

The APX was really good to play live; as you mention, the action is great, the neck is comfortable and it held its tuning really well. It never let me down during the 12 years I used it live, even surviving in the hands of Neanderthal airport baggage handlers!
Great value for money.

Posted these in 'the other thread' so I thought I should post them here as well. Also posting up a couple of earlier photos of Gibsons I had.
Photo taken February 1971.
1970 SG Standard into a Marshall 100w 'Plexi' head and 4x12 1960 & 1960B cabs.
Mid-'73. 1969 Les Paul Custom.
August 2018. 2009 '08 Standard.
2009 Custom Shop '57 VOS Junior
1976 all-original Deluxe
And the one I still have. 1991 Custom.
The top with the scratchplate off.
I also still have a 1971 Eko Rio Bravo 12-string that I got for my 21st birthday. DeArmond acoustic pickup across the soundhole.
And still have a 2002 Taylor 314.

Was given one of these when I joined the school orchestra.
They obviously recognised my musical talents

Moved it on eventually, when you had to cart your own gear around. Couldn't get it into the boot of the Ford Escort!
With the final band I was in, I gigged with a Mesa Boogie F50 for several years.
The final amp I gigged with was an Albion Gulfstream15 20w. Absolutely blew the Mesa away! Mine is the maroon one. The other guitarist had the same amp in white.
Forgot we have this in our house, on loan from a friend: a Roland TR-8 which is some sort of digital reproduction in the style of the 808. And it's an instrument I can play, although the outcomes are not always great.
I bet that plexi stack moved some air!!! How are your ears these days?

It did. but 100w was required in the night clubs and venues of Liverpool in those days. Here's a couple of photos from gigs in 1971.

I imagine all your creative talent is channelled to the horn on the shelf.

My son has been talking about getting guitar lessons & I have urged him to do so, & I'll pay for them.
Wish I had done so when I was younger.

Me too. Only ever had 1 lesson and from a friend. The rest is self taught and I'm sure I've made it hard for myself!
In person lessons are always best by one of my sons has used the Fender App and it has been useful for him. Wasn't his first music experience, however, so he has a lot of background but he's enjoyed the lessons.
