There are real Zeros in museums you idoit. There are only a handful flying and they’re in private hands. They are hardly original museum artifacts. You going to tell people they can’t fly their own airplanes they spent fortunes building or restoring?
Aren't we all?
He'll go looking a lot better than say, Tom DeLay. Remember that pos? Exactly.
If you choose a hill to die on, literally, I think protecting the victims of trafficking isn't an altogether bad one.
They will not. If it's anything like the Les Paul auction, they will go for amounts that do not reflect the reality of what they are. Rather, they will go sky high for the opportunity to twist the same knobs as their hero Joe. I'm going to sign up anyhow though. Where there's life, there's hope.
Saw some great guitar gear at the Jeff Tweedy show the other night. Got my curiosity aroused (see the Concerts thread).
First Sima Cunningham got some really nice tones out of one of these bad boys. Essentially a scaled down ES-175 (though judging from Reverb, somehow on a par in price?).

Then Jeff played one of these, which is just crazy to look at.
Some discussion about it here:

The Tweedy show turned out to be something completely different that what I had expected. The last couple times I’d seen him solo he was, well, solo. Just him and a guitar. This was him with his kids and their (very competent) friends. So it was a nice mix between a veteran craftsman of song writing and a band with the vitality and rawness of youth. Plus they had an almost Beach Boys esque level of arrangement. Six voices going at once plus all sorts of instruments. Like a garage band orchestra. It was a two hour show of songs I’ve never heard (but for God Save the Queen which was a fun touch at the Longhorn Ballroom) but I never once got bored, which is hard for me to say these days. Plus a ton of cool gear for the guitpron folks. Highly recommended.
Nah.
This. Wilco typically tours every other year. He's done his own shows in between Wilco touring years so he's touring every year. Now that his kids are involved, I think it's just a fun side thing.
