  1. We need true weirdos in the world. Hope David Byrne is ok.
  2. I've got my strat off the rack and next to my desk right now. Everybody should have a good strat. That seems like a good price too. I guess part of getting old is remarking on the effects of inflation but I was googling the other day to double check my recollection that when I got my '98 American Standard the market rate was below $1000. And I guess now the equivalent is the.... American Professional II, which is damn near $2k? Anyways, great guitar, olympic white is a great color although you almost need a left handed bridge. Tortoiseshell would look good, mint or... gold might look good? The guard on your big apple strat is a dark tortoiseshell right?
  3. What is your goal - to supplement her band instruction because the band program isn’t great? To have her learn theory to …. be her best musician self? Has she expressed interest in theory specifically? If it’s just the first thing, I’d shell out for lessons. Learning theory is a bit like… learning to diagram sentences and maybe spell really well. You kinda need to do it a bit to learn the instrument, but if you’re trying to dive in deep, the ultimate goal might inform how you’d go about doing it.
  4. I’m kinda surprised Sam Torn is still alive. He was old when I was a kid.
  5. I always 1000% assumed that decals were underneath a layer of something? I guess not always, or maybe just that stuff is that fragile.
  6. these are load bearing teles I just did the same googling I did a while back that indicates that string swings (and Hercules)’are generally considered to be safe for nitro. I would do the exact same thing with a high value vintage guitar but I’m remaining comfortable with my Gibsons on the hanger. i did fuck in the headstock of my J45 a bit with a capo. Stupid stupid. I saw a video where Isbell lamented fixing up the fender decal on a vintage tele by leaving a snark on there.
  7. Dammit do I actually need to get those for my nitro homies? I thought string swings were made with some material that didn’t fuck with it? Obviously none of mine are a 59. I bet you put it on a stud too 🙄
  8. Oh that’s cool that they have a thing in Texas now. I went to Ozark in Arkansas as a kid and it was really some of the best times of my life.
  9. I’ll trade you one framed copy of use your illusion ii for one of your guitars my choice
  10. Wait in this photo the Guns N’ Roses album is the piece de resistance?
  11. Was really hoping for more snow but fun morning regardless
  12. can you not spend the whole flight flirting with your much younger female copilot and losing track of your airspeed until you crash the plane into someone's house?
  13. Maybe you can help evacuate the shop
  14. https://guitar.com/news/gear-news/i-knew-this-day-would-come-eventually-but-just-not-today-joe-bonamassa-appears-to-move-guitars-from-nerdville-amid-la-wildfires/
  15. also I don't follow the news anymore because the news is pain and my life is pain and ain't nobody got time for that but I guess LA is on fire. I've seen some nervousness from Matchless folks on the internet and I know we poke at Joey B but his horde is apparently at risk and I don't wish that on him and certainly not his collection.
  16. so what the fuck does that knob actually do and imo you need to buy another amp now? because stereo?
