  1. That gold top Traditional Pro I bought from Paul Wesley is the tits. Fantastically playable and the zebra pickups are extremely versatile.
  2. Nah, man, I’m with Celery on the FrankenGretsch. That’s cool as shit looking. I can already hear the feedback from here though.
  3. Let’s be more specific: Coast to Coast and Another Piece of Meat played Michael Schenker style.
  4. Get out of my mind. I’m the one that left the Gilmore/Diaz comment.
  5. Damn, AUTF. I was certain you were joining me in the Firebird club. I guess that V will do though... [emoji41]
  6. Boom, indeed. Holy shit. If any of y’all haven’t listened to this do so NOW. Damn...
  7. Here are a couple of teasers. I wasn’t expecting the case. Sweet bonus.
  8. Moby Ric needs the Rick. AUTF has a Firebird on the way. jj’s daughter is the truth. I need to post pics of the Strat as soon as i can make some sense out of my place after having been away for over a month. Holy shitsnacks, way more beautiful than I imagined. And I have a vivid imagination. Neck is almost white. Against the olive it’s downright striking. And slicker than owl shit from what little I’ve played it. Damn good decision.
  9. The candle has been lit. NGD in T minus 7-10 days. I won't be back home for about 5 days anyway so it's perfect. Pics upon arrival. I think the boys will be great Uber drivers. Thanks for the tip. LOL.
  10. That antique olive Strat is still available. It’s in my cart with a tweed gig bag. But I’ve got tuition coming for two boys. March would be more optimal. Maybe they should sit out a semester.
  11. Hmmmmm... I do tend to regard the guitars and basses that I’ve lost to the ether with more fondness than former GF’s. You may be on to something.
  12. He said he thought it was an ‘81 but couldn’t remember exactly without looking. Bought it new in ‘82.
  13. Oh, yeah, that’s the original strap too.
  14. Also, a friend of mine’s dad whipped this out on NYE. I played it, but not too well. Too much vodka. That’s all gold hardware, by the way. Not my cup of tea (or vodka, or bourbon... ) but she was gorgeous.
  15. I love it when this thread is at the top but I hate all the deals I miss... This one is speaking to me though. I just had to cancel a trip to Vegas so I’d actually be saving money in the big picture...
  16. Well played on both counts, Doc.
  17. It was either that or a Fender neck on a roasted bird... perhaps I chose... poorly.
  18. Yep. That and, “hi, mom”, to sweet Anne Campbell. Geez, I loved Earl. I’d still wear my old “Houston Earlers” jersey if it hadn’t been lost to time all those years ago. What’s cool is that everyone about ~48 and up would know exactly what it meant and nod approval. Hook ‘em, Earl.
  19. Rockin’ Robin and Infinity Guitars. Ask Grandioso about Infinity. Lots of cool boutique stuff. And the owner, Randy, is a nice dude and very knowledgeable.
  20. This. He’s smart, his technique was flawless and he was inordinately strong and fast for his size. Conner’s obviously not there yet, but the jury’s still out. He’s athletic, bends well and has some room to grow. Kind of a tweener though. Regardless, I wish him well.
