Sgt. Pepper

China has never ever exploited its people. Wait it’s happening right now there. Never mind.

The fact that I used an Epi’s is not my point. I just saw it at a crazy low price and thought that’s so cheap, or another word affordable. How much are they really profiting? I could have posted the least expensive or any Gibson, Martin and so on. One has to factor in, first how many man hours are going in to making it, and multiply that by their hourly wage, and then what is the actual cost of all the raw materials, and the stuff you have to buy to assemble it, and finish it. Also do you get a case, gig bag, or nothing to store it in. And then ship it somewhere. And lastly, how much profit do they want to make. I know I will never actually learn the figure of what it cost to make it vs their profit.

A lot.

Forgot about shipping cost. I’m going with $35 total parts and labor. And that may even be overestimating.

That Beck album I liked. A few others were good too.

Can’t remember which model I had. They were brown. I rocked the hell out of Kiss for years with those.

KS how come you don’t have red lettering on your stage name like Phil the mod does? Is he a custom mod and your just a standard one?

It has a black switch tip too. They go the extra mile those Epiphoney’s.

I thought that was your own home recording studio.

Pets are not pets they are family. At least mine are. Yes you can send some a personal message. If you go up to the very top right of the page, there should be an envelope icon to click on, and then you have to find them by their name.

Down to UConn and Purdue for the men on Monday. The Girls/Ladies/Women (want to get the verbage right so I don’t get cancelled) play today at around 3pm.

So here is an Epi LP Melody Maker E1 coming in at a very affordable $179. So that is the out the door all day price at any store, and it also has to make the company a profit. So how much does a guitar costing that much, or little depending on how you look at actually cost to make? https://www.epiphone.com/en-US/Electric-Guitar/EPIS5Q712/Ebony

Finished a 2 pert doc on Paul Simon called In Restless Dreams. Part one was his career with Garfunkel up to bridge over troubled water, and part two was his solo career. It was really good.

I hated the VT on mine. One thing that is killer is it’s one of the only ES style guitars with a control cavity cover so you can access the electronics.

Would Dweez do Smackwater Jack as Smackwater Zap?

When I was in the Navy floating around in the Persian Gulf, I was listening to Tapestry. One of the guys on the ship came in my shop, and he said you know the cat on the cover that album is probably dead. I said yeah more than likely.

His nose was big. So a SG and a fake SG (70’s), and a LP (early 80’s) is nasally? At end he played a custom yellow Strat shaped guitar. Frank customized all his stuff. Man why do I bother listening to him. That’s it I’m getting on Amazon and buying all Taylor’s stuff.

As the numbers go up it gets more nastily.

I don’t think I have ever been booted for politics. All of them are a waste of air as far as I’m concerned.

Except here as a mod you have to toe the party (company) line. I’ve expressed my opinions here and a few times sent to guitar jail.

Mine has 2 jacks as well. I played it in stereo maybe twice when I had it. The Varitone I left on position 1 aka bypassed.

A controversial guy as in he has his own thoughts and opinions and expresses them? Just like that d-ouch wad Neil Young, or Bono, or Springsteen, you can have any opinion you want as long as it’s the same as theirs.

I would think they would both be removed as a unit since they are glued together.

Doesn’t Robin Trower use Fulltone stuff?

Fully acoustic, so none.
