Sgt. Pepper

I read posts on the forum. Does that count for reading?

A guy that works at The Carolina Opry with me saw the Elvis movie the other night and said he would give it 9 out of 10 Elvis's. He said the reason he down graded it was because in the credits and once during the movie they used rap music. Rap was not a music genera then, and yep you gotta sell tickets and people love that c-rap music, so put it in to sell a few more tix. He didn't want to ruin it for me, but he said in the end Elvis died. Sorry for the spoiler.

I think I could find a way to manage drinking 18 year old Macallen Scotch, and buying a guitar a day, and eating crab legs every night. Those things just might sooth away the misery of being rich.

Who knows the used guitar market is such a s-hit storm right now.

Call it a demo, to me its called used. It is no longer new. You can call it mint, but not new. New means I'm the first one to own it.

The company that makes the stamper also sells sheets of plastic blanks in different thicknesses, so you are not doing it with an old credit card.

Prices on hot dogs to lumber to bales of hay to USA made guitar are going, and have been going up since this new illness came to fruition, but most peoples wages are not. So when is that magic I gotta have it USA made guitar you lust after finally going to be out of your reach, or is it already? You either have the cash for it, or you gotta save for it, or you get it as a present, or you steal it. Its about the only options we got. Complaining about it isn't gonna make anyone lower their prices. Maybe Sleepy Joe will pass an Executive Order and make manufactures lower guitar prices. No that's not the Blue Teams agenda. They are worried more about giving rights to guys who play dress up as girls, to beat them at a sport they can't beat their birth gender at.

That is the truth. I've gotten up to go to the bedroom for something, and when I get there I forget what I came to get.

I am lazy and go to audible to have them read for me. The one about Ted sounds great. Ted produced Van The Man, and Little Feat too.

My wife bought me one of those stampers you can make a credit card into a guitar pick. I also have 2 BC Picks a TP-1R 35 and a TAD-35. Great picks that defy wear. I've had mine for years and it just has surface scratches on it. It's worn just a hair and I mean a hair.

So I am supposed to be lead to believe that rich people with money (I guess that is the definition of being rich), buy stuff we can afford. Get the fuk out.

I'm selling my 000-18 right now, not because of the reasons you mention. I want to fund a M-36. If it doesn't sell, I'll be okay as it is a great guitar and I have no issues with it. Sounds like its a win win for you and the store. Most USA made acoustics guitars do not last long in stores anymore. The sub $500 c-rap sits there a while.

Taylor makes a cleaner for Satin/Matte finished guitars. https://www.chicagomusicexchange.com/products/taylor-satin-guitar-cleaner-4-oz-690614?gclid=CjwKCAjwt7SWBhAnEiwAx8ZLarq0LP6Bbdd0-2x1tQYHH7DnvMJz4TtNagjVwsQEbHYEauMkoQxashoC0J8QAvD_BwE

Cool it worked out. What did you trade the 000-28? That is the guitar I own I would run into the house if it was on fire to grab.

I only buy used guitar now. Why not save a little, and used prices are the new prices, and new prices are ridiculous.

Calling Dr. Love or or Christine 16 didn't move you? Yeah looking back at it when I was a Kiss nut from 10 to about 14, what was I thinking, Oh right I was 10.

Once again the voice of reason on the Gibson Forum. Its just that easy. Don't sell.

He may own the label, but does he own the rights to his music? Many musicians don't. Remember when Paul and MJ when at it over the Beatles Catalog ,and MJ had more $ at the time and bought the rights to The Fab 4's music.

No like what Jimi Hendrix , Rory Gallagher, and SRV played. None of those guys are any good, or know squat about a guitar, but they used 'em for some reason.

Demo's are in store models. That guitar was mailed to him cause he purchased it new.

I saw it many times it was so funny. It’s on the one Gene, Carol would keep saying and Gene had this puzzled look “The One”. James Brown’s band knew where that one is. Here is Dee Snider of TS calling out Kiss. https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/dee_snider_calls_out_bands_that_are_on_fake_farewell_tours_compares_kiss_to_a_fart_in_a_paper_bag.html

I have a question about guitar returns. Obviously if there is a QA issue a guitar can be returned. Now you are just not feeling it. Ok, so what happens to that guitar. There is nothing wrong with it other than your stated preference about the neck. So when that guitar goes back is it now in my eyes used, and can it be sold as new or does it have to be sold as used?

I would think the internet?

That must have been a big baby.

Get him the CD of The Grateful Dead at Cornell in '77. Its a killer show. Man I miss seeing the real Dead. Red Rocks '78 is killer to. People think the guys in The Dead were just guys who noodled around on their gear. Nope Bob Weir is an inversion chord master.
