  1. I'm not like Rabs and build them from scratch but here are all the guitars I've bought all the parts and make I guess my own customs. All are gone now.
  2. Here is the 225 I owned just to post some guitar porn. http://
  3. I saw the Doobie's back in '87 and Hall And Oates about 3 years ago. The Doobie's are hometown boys. I grew up in San Jose, CA.
  4. I bought a used '14 for $950 sold it about 4 months later for $900. I played one in a GC that I liked, but the one I had did nothing for me. That one in GC was brand new at $1299. Guess I should have gotten that one. I would probably still have it. Here is the J-15 I had. http://
  5. My wife is into her crafts. Knitting, quilting and embroidering. She is also the techy of the two of us. I use computers for what they were intended for stealing music and downloading porn.
  6. Never seen that headstock before on a Gibson. How many models did they do that on?
  7. Just ordered Sheik Yerbouti and One Size Fits All. Amazon says Sunday it will be at my house. I also ordered 2 sets of String Joy strings in my gauge. 11-52. I got one of each flavor (phosphor bronze and 80/20 bronze). The one thing cool about them is you can get a totally customized set and they cost exactly the same. They are $14 a set though. So if they sound just like Martin strings I won't get them ever again.
  8. I wonder with what is going with the virus if all my shows are going to be cancelled?
  9. J-15 is made of walnut back and sides and J-45 is hog back and sides. The necks are made of different woods too, J-15 is maple and the J-45 is hog. That is all I know the experts can tell you more. I'm sure they are giving the J-45 more attention than the J-15 due to the $700 or so price difference. Why is the J-15 with a natural top $150 more that the same model that is painted?
  10. I don't know Mark either. I've owned 3 or 4 LP's. Here is the last one I owned. I bought the body and neck stripped and bought all the stuff I wanted and assembled it. The body and neck were from a 2014 Traditional Pro II. http://
  11. I just watched the trailer for it, if its on NF I will check it out. I have seen and listen to The Residents. Different and unusual music doesn't scare me. I love Zappa.
  12. Oh man, that top is beautiful.
  13. I watch music doc's about people I have never heard of or care about. I watched the Taylor Swift one cause see is easy on on the eyes. She's a little whiner. She said when she came into the music business she shut up and did what she was told. Yeah cause when you start out your a f-ing nobody like everyone else when they start out. You don't come into the business as the CEO.
  14. I played an L-00 Studio in Guitar Center in South Carolina. It was a tight little beast. Walnut backs look really cool.
  15. Yeah its not. It was run on CNN New Years Day. We DVR'ed it and it got erased. It will come out sooner or later.
  16. I just looked and GC and Sweetwater have them. Sam Ash did not. SA only had the imported ones right now.
  17. Nice. Growing up in San Jose all my teams are from that area. I was a Warriors fan when they were getting the sh!t kicked out of them and they are this year. I was a Raiders fan when they moved to LA and will continue to be now that they are in Vegas. If Brady goes to the Raiders I will not watch one Raider game next season. The Sharks are not doing good this year. Over the past few years the A's have been doing good. My first A's game was in 1979. I saw Vida Blue pitch against Phil Niekro, I think he as an Atlanta Brave.
  18. I don't even know how to describe what it is. Two guys talking about cars and pigs and ponies and orchestral weirdness. I've made it through maybe 2 times total. Uncle Meat 180 g vinyl came today.
  19. Looks real to me. Finish looks matte. Some Studio or Tribute model.
  20. I think I can go on line and get just about anything engraved on a TRC and slap it on any Gibson or Epi. And I can order it at 2am in my underwear with a glass of scotch in my hands. There have been limited runs of Epi's made in the states since they got outsourced. But like I said if that V does not say made in USA then there is your answer.
  21. Those blue bears in the commercials are funny.
  22. SG Specials are killer. I liked my Special more than the Standard I owned. And it looks like they have binding on the neck now, classy. Those tuners look like they belong on a J-45.
