Took a trip back to Wildwood today to see about a pedal power supply and wound up playing a fender custom shop Gilmour Black strat and an Inca silver thin line tele that @noharleyyet was lusting after. I definitely liked the tele better. It was a wild, almost uncontrollable beast of a guitar (in the best of ways). Almost made me regret buying the ES-330 for about the same $$$. I took a few pics of other guitars for you thirsty mofos.

I'm not sure how impeaching him is a political error. Is your contention that impeaching him will cause people to vote for him?

Let me start by saying I could be wrong and I hope like hell I am, but...
As the overmatched opponent, It is better to lie in wait ready to seize an opportunity when it is presented than it is to overestimate an opportunity, act and fail. If the Dems fail, they will have shown themselves to be completely powerless to stop the conservative movement. They will be the political equivalent of Garrett Gilbert after 54774579 interceptions at K-State. No one, least of all their supporters, will have faith in their ability to serve as any sort of effective opposition to Trump, McConnell, etc...
That is a much worse position to be in. All you have are empty threats that everyone knows is utterly meaningless bullshit. Before the showdown demonstrating exactly how powerless you are, you have opportunity. After, you have none. You have lost the illusion of power that coupled with moral or intellectual correctness gives you the ability to serve as a counter against the more powerful majority. It will have to get a lot worse over a lot longer time for the tide to turn.
Is that risk worth the completely futile attempt to remove the President less than 12 months before the voters could send him packing?
We’ll fucking see.

Donald Trump is going to be impeached today.
Today is a good day.
I don't necessarily agree. If Trump is not removed by the senate (he won't be) and he wins re-election (I think odds favor him in an unfair contest), then the Dems are in a worse position than before the midterms. They will control the House, but it will have been completely neutered of its constitutional power and authority to serve as a check against the conservative power-grab as Trump enters his 2nd term.
That's when the wheels would really come off. That's when the jokes about more than 2 terms will be more than just trial balloons. The conservatives will absolutely cement their hold on the presidency, senate and judiciary for the foreseeable future through any means necessary. They will laugh at the empty political threats emerging from the house, because it will not be a co-equal branch of government. It will be a meaningless thing the opposition can control so that conservatives can say we still live in a democracy.Anyway, I'm not saying the Dems are in the wrong to impeach Trump, he's definitely earned it. I'm saying that they have to get him removed or fucking win in 2020 at all costs, and I'm not confident they will. This may very well be the hill they die on, and if they do, then impeachment will have been a huge political error and our worst fears of a fascist authoritarian government will be realized.

I've driven farther to do less....so hell yeah.
You know, I always figured you'd lead us in a mass suicide jump off the ledge. But your leading us in taking a mass surly-shit off of it onto McConnell's grave seems more apropos for some reason.

History -- presuming there's literacy in the future -- will be most unkind to him. He is evil and craven on a level not seen in any recent memory. He is selling out our country and our political system for transitory, ephemeral power.
He is fucking scum, and I would drive 1,000 miles out of my way for the pleasure of shitting on his grave. Seriously, they're going to have to bury him in a secure location, with cameras, full-time security, the whole deal.

I hope their lives are filled with frustration and impotence.
No need to hope. They are die-hard Trump supporters, which means they are either filthy rich or miserable, bitter idiots in desperate need of a blame-target. Here’s a hint: the filthy rich are smart enough to not waste their money on MAGA swag or Trump rallies (Kanye notwithstanding).

I don't wish the guy dead, but he's been a caricature of himself for some time now.

Agree with JJ and others about Flea & Smith. They are a fantastic duo that made this band work. The band's ability to have a plug-and-play attitude towards guitarists shows how great those two are.
Keidis is someone who's musical legacy would have greatly benefited from joining the 27 club. -
I became aware of her earlier this year. I have not seen her live. I applaud what she's doing, but there are guitarists/songwriters I'd rather listen to and chicks in porn that I'd rather fap to.
If we want to discuss current female guitarists/vocalists, I'll take Molly Tuttle and you can have Samantha Fish.-

Where’s the concern trolls from two weeks ago that were all up in here talking about support for impeachment declining?
These polls are irrelevant. What the American people want is insignificant. We need to see state-by-state polls of likely voters to see what pressure there is on which senators to predict what Americans will get.
HAHAHAHAHA, no we don’t. Who am I kidding? The recent statements from McConnell, Graham, etc... is all the polling we need. The only threat to them with their constituents is to oppose Trump. Do you hear that almost imperceptible, gentle queefing sound? That is impeachment passing by with no effect as Trump and the GOP keep hammer-fucking America.
And so it will be up to us citizens to stop the madness. Through votes, assuming they will still matter, or bullets and blood if they don’t. Or most likely we will simply content ourselves to live out our reasonably comfortable lives distracted by the NFL, Kardashians or whatever as democracy flatlines in the background.

Thanks! And I agree, some killer smooth jazzy tones. I’ll pick up the LP when I want to rock.

Full hollow with those P-90's. Time to learn the art of controlling feedback when cranked. Actually a pretty fun thing.
Yeah, have played my brother's ES-330 with P90s a lot. I'm not too worried about the feed back at this point. I wouldn't buy a full-hollow with humbuckers, though.

Nah, its not. 2018 Memphis ES-330. Here's the original Gibson page w/all specs.
http://legacy.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2018/Memphis/ES-330-2018.aspx
Edit: I *think* its the same guitar as in those vids, but that the vids mistakingly call it a custom shop guitar. I could be wrong. -
Santa did a bad, bad thing. I broke down and "settled" for a used 2018 Gibson ES-330 w/P-90s to solve my hollow/semi-hollow craving. Should have it by EOD Thursday.

I have a 1990 Telecaster with a distinct stale pipe tobacco smell in the guitar and inside the case. I believe if it ever loses that aroma, I'd have to sell it. 22 years though, and it's still going strong.
Pretty sure wife rules are in effect for guitars mentioned in the guitar pron thread.

Am I in the minority when I say that I struggle with purposely creating fake memories when it comes to aging an instrument?
I, like everyone of you. Love the way old guitars look and handle. I have opened more than my share of old guitar cases. And I wish I had more of them. But to imitate such history seems..idk.bourgeois?
I don't think you are in the minority, and I think you are exactly right about the type of buyer being targeted. To each their own, I guess. If someone wants to pay extra for the manufacturer to make a new guitar look like its been train-hopping with a hobo the past 50 years, its their money. To me, its fake, unearned and gauche, so don't expect props.

impeachment inquiry hearings thread

I hope you are right that the undecided and apathetic are as appalled by Trump and the GOP as you and I are. If they are not enough of them to offset Trump’s rabid base + election interference, there won’t be another impeachment in term 2.
