  1. The original post is from 2017. If you really want to do a MTM guitar you need to go through a dealer. You don't just call Gibson and place and order
  2. He used to do all kinds of Karate moves on stage. My mother who saw him a few times said as great as his voice was, and the great tunes he sang on, and as cute as he was to the women, he, in my mothers opinion had absolutely no stage presence, when she and my father would go see him. I wasn't there I was staying with my grandparents, so I couldn't say.
  3. I owned a '57 ES-225TD. It was a POS. Would not stay in tune. Fed-back like a banshee. Trapeze tailpiece and c-rappy wrap around bridge. Light as a feather though. Sold it to a guy in Colorado. I disclosed everything I new was wrong with it on Flea Bay when I sold it. Not staying in tune was the biggest issue. I even put better tuners on it, nope. Just cause its old don't mean its good.
  4. These just came. Never really got into Roxy till after last Christmas. Never heard their first album till them. I only owned Avalon and Siren and never played them much. Brian Ferry loved scantily clad women on the cover. I read the lady in red on the Stranded album was a Playboy Centerfold and his girlfriend at the time.
  5. That is a great idea, but with the worlds current situation it my take about 3 years to get back and what is something like that going to cost from Gibson. Neck resets on guitars (mostly done on acoustics) are $3 to 500, and that is just to reset a neck that is in playable condition where the angle is now off due to age, and that just being the nature of the beast of owning an acoustic . He will also need to pony up for the price of a new neck (not sure what that would be), plus any re-finish work that needs to be done, and shipping, and he wants a fret job (doesn't need to be performed by Gibson). Then he will have a 1976 Gibson ES-335 with a neck that will have different serial number. If you bought it and it was not disclosed it had a twisted neck and they knew that prior, I would get back with whoever sold it and put a claim in if you can. If you can't looks like sadly someone dumped a lemon on you.
  6. I never heard the Misfits till '88 when I was in the Navy in San Diego. I meet a guy who turned me on The Misfits, Social D and other punk I never listened to. He had Evilive on cassette. Its only about 8 minuets long. When I saw him live I had not idea he was 4' 10". He was a juiced up muscle head. He was pissed of at some guy in the audience and was staring at who ever it was real hard.
  7. I think I have most of the 'Fits stuff with Danzig that I've downloaded on the big box set. I'm gonna rock Walk next time I go on a drive.
  8. Tell my wife...sure. She bought me my 12 string to surprise me and it wasn't any special day. She knew I wanted it and one day a guitar I didn't order shows up. 👍
  9. Those prolly cost $49. A full price new Epi can be had for $600.
  10. He seems like a caricature of himself. I love London Dungeon. I have Earth AD on vinyl. If you got Walk Among Us, you got pretty much their greatest hits cuz that album is rock solid in the horror rock genra.
  11. I'll bet. I just played my 41 Standard for a bit. It's been called gaudy. I really think jealousy is the right word. Hold it in your hands, strum it and then make a decision. I wish I could afford one of those super gaudy 45's. My wife loves the 41. I gotta admit the 15M is nothing special to look at but all hog sounds great.
  12. It was an okay show. It was Saturday and they did not play One More Saturday Night. I heard they opened with it the next day.
  13. He has such a huge catalog that there is IMO good and bad stuff through out his entire carrier. The movie stuff was mostly silly. Clambake - come on E.
  14. Under King Henry's reign I remember there being over a 100 LP models on their website, so 9 different neck shapes shock you from Gibson?
  15. I'll bet. Never had a bad time at one.
  16. The 0 could mean 1960. But Gibson's serial numbers are all over the map and they keep nothing standard for very long.
  17. Wrap around bridge and only one pickup. Its and over priced student guitar. Way overpriced.
  18. Some fan boy will want it. Or a professional football team owner. There is a point between stupidity and common sense. 11k eat my ...
  19. '72 till about '77 they were at their peak. Blues For Allah I was not a fan of. A few concert staples but a lot of filler. I was never high at a Dead show. And I've dosed and shroomed, just not with 20000 stinky hippies.
  20. I saw them once in Sacto. They opened with Cold Rain and Snow. It was in '86 or '87.
  21. The Grateful Dead. I understand. You do or you don't.
  22. When The Dead are firing on all cylinders it's magic. I've seen a few bad ones. Last time I saw them was a year or two before Jerry died. I lived in the Bay Area of California they were always there.
  23. The first 2 Danzig albums I like. After that not so much. He just put an Elivs cover album. Oh the horror.
  24. Like I said I need to see the schematic of what you're doing and what you're supposed to connect that pre amp to. I've soldered many guitars but I just can't tell you it a cap because you connected something and that and doesn't work. If you can post a schematic and give me readings of where you're checking stuff I can help a little bit.
  25. I'm gonna find all the shows I went to. I know the dates. I'm one of those weirdos who saves all their ticket stubs. I saw the real Dead 13 times. Jerry once.
