  1. Congrats The back is damn cool.
  2. Looks like he is plugging it in by the p/g. May have added a pickup to it. Could be a converted acoustic. Probably feeds back like a demon.
  3. That is what I shoot for. I don’t want to breath on my strings and they fret.
  4. Why did people horde toilet paper when there was a new virus unleashed on Earth that affected your respiratory system, but not your gastrointestinal tract, foolishness, that’s why?
  5. Those puppies you are talking about are my favorite. I have no idea where the couch is.
  6. What will the price be in 2087 money for one. We have to wait and see. The whole it cost xxx in ‘61 and that’s equivalent to xxx today is just silly to me. What would a ‘61 J-45 be if they made them in 1901 as compared to today, $4? It’s a ridiculous comparison. Things cost what they do, now and back then too.
  7. So if we are getting technical, those are actually puppies. There are two. Pups is abbreviated, for the dogs, as in the same we lots do it here for pickups.
  8. Yeah, every time I order something on Amazon, they never ship it until I pay. What’s the deal? How come they don’t ship it to me and then I can pay them? They should take some cues from Reverb.
  9. Learn more color noun 1. the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light. "the lights flickered and changed color” According to the internet which is never wrong I do.
  10. I have an album by a band called, and this is how it’s spelled - Gaye Bykers On Acid. The song is called After Suck There’s Blow.
  11. I watched that a few years back. Jack thought he was gonna be able try to steal some of Jimmy or the Sides musical tricks. Nope. Cool doc.
  12. I don’t think Joe Bonamassa buys stuff from Reverb. I have to give a company a certain percentage of what I make on my guitar just because I can post my picture on their site. And Reverb states you have to try to sell the guitar for what it’s worth. Why? Oh cause the more you get the more % they get. You can do it. I’m not. If it was a flat $10 or $15 dollar fee to post I would have no issue, but if I sell a guitar for $5000 they get $500 of it cause I posted there? F Off.
  13. I’m not an alien. I leave that to the flying saucer time traveling professionals.
  14. Exactly. The lady I used to take my guitars to for work said, once you handed over an ES guitar to me, and I started working on it. It was at least 250 bucks minimum as a starting point no matter what I did, because they’re a pain.
  15. It’s exactly what you typed. Once again I have stated this numerous times, all your serial number is, is a number to identify it. It does not tell you anything by looking at it except what date it was stamped. STAMPED only. It does not indicate the ship date, what date it was finished, what date the inspection was done on it. It’s the date it was stamped. It’s still had a ways to go before it was out the door to you.
  16. Chances are he might be doomed.
  17. Yes if you list something as new you must be an authorized dealer. I think it stated that in all the descriptions of stuff: new, mint, vg, excellent, and for parts only.
  18. The last one I sold on Reverb, the guy said he was coming to the beach to visit a friend and could I meet him and he had cash. Yep, cause Reverb got 0 of my $. Went to the bank and made sure none of the bills were fake, then handed over the guitar. Haven’t been there since.
  19. Pull the actual knob off and turn the shaft by hand to see what happens.
  20. I only played a V once and it slides down your leg when seated. I’ve seen lots of pics of Michael Schenker and he shoves the bottom part of the V between his legs.
  21. Sorry about you dad. Lost my mom 5 years ago in March. Both my parents are gone. I guess I’m an orphan.
  22. Was that neck a repair job? There are no tuner holes and it looks like the head was glued into the neck by the squared off section.
  23. It was a little more difficult than I expected. I had to type in Jimi Hendrix playing a flying V and then I had to click on it.
  24. Honest relic-ing is less expensive than faking it. You have to go through 4 years of apprenticeships, classes on using an ice pick, penny lobbing, the behind the car rope drag, and then and only then are you handed a railroad spike.
