In Topic:Gibson Raid Makes Sense Now
Today, 06:33 PM
If you have 10 minutes, this short cartoon from 1948 fairly well depicts what has been going on this country and is applicable to today also....amazing! I am not picking sides but , between the two, here we are.
Lets pick and play and share our love of music and Gibson guitars before all else on this forum. I do have strong American citizen opinions and do not want to see our country overrun by a 'tyrannical government' no matter who is leading it.
I love the comradery of my fellow forumites and hate to resort to personal attacks. I will,however, attack back when someone tries to make my viepoints less relevant or to 'imply' that I am not "enlightened" by some of their BS!
I am a senior(59) but not a fossil by any means and more hip and savvy than most younger people that don't know Jack. I have been a Viet Nam protester before I knew what it was all about. Not a good situation! I hold high regards for all of our Miltary men and women and would like to thank them for their service on Memorial Day.
I am about freedom and the American way of life. A way of life that I 'observe' slipping away as citizens become more complacent,dumbed-down and more like sheeple and willing to let "The Gubment" take care of their every need>
But ...What is "TheGubment" but a bunch of elected and appointed people that survive only on the coffers of the citizens... AKA tax payers. They use this money to rule and dictate over the citizens and private businesses in this country....levy fines ....target those and "investigate organisations' that they feel are a threat??
This IS happening. And I am the ''conspiracy theorist" and 'pointy tin hat' wearer for pointing it out????
Oh Yeah....the cartoon....enjoy!

Nick, need I remind you of your comment? -
In Topic:'50's CF 100e ID
Today, 06:24 AM
Nice guitar! There are many fans of the CF100 guitars on the forum. I have a '57 and onewileyfool has a '53 I believe. The E version was made from '51 to '58 The FON(factory order number) ranges from 6000's to 9000's in 1951. The rest of the years would have a letter prefix before the FON ranging from Z to T.
Yours is possibly a '51 if you don,t have a letter before the number. I see replaced knobs and tuners. The rest looks 'straight-up'?
Hope this helps,
Rod

25 Mar 2013 - 08:46No longer at the music zoo, the owner and I weren't really seeing eye to eye business-wise. Time to move on and work under my own name instead of being "the guy" at a store.
I am kind of bummed that J-45 I posted still hasn't been picked up from there, so I'll never know how the customer liked it, oh well.

14 Jan 2013 - 19:50Sorry to get off topic with personal rants.We are living through some very 'devisive' times in the USA. The president is devisive and has the Media in tow. The citizenry is split down the middle and this is not the America that I grew up with.
Its a mess!.......

19 Jul 2011 - 08:28Same ol,same ol here. To quote Bob Elliot,
"don't get around much anymore" Don't leave the ranch much these days, progressive spinal disease moving way to fast for my taste and severely limits my physical activity. But what can ya do? Just keep on keepin on and make the best of it.
