    61

Everything posted by SteveFord

  1. The good thing about the cheaper model is it's not all beat up.
  2. The 61 Reissue has a super skinny neck. I had one and sold it recently, it felt like the back half of the neck was missing.
  3. I find someone with a new lawnmower, ask if they want to check out a cool guitar and then I sharpen my blade upon their throats and steal their lawnmower. In a nice way, of course.
  4. My 2019 (2020?) came with the same golf club bag.
  5. When I buy a new motorcycle the first thing I had is run it up to 45 MPH and throw it down the road. That also helps to break in my helmet, leathers, boots and body. I try to keep the guitars looking as good as the day they left the factory, though.
  6. Gibson sold Stanton so try over here: https://stantondj.com/
  7. It looks like that piece was large enough for the body. If so, why did you cut it in two?
  8. I know Charlie Brown bought one when they first came out. He bailed on this site a long time ago, though.
  9. I inherited a copy of The Wall. I've never listened to it, they beat a couple of tracks to death on the radio for a few years there.
  10. Unless your copy is beat to hell or there's some fabulous remaster going on, who buys this stuff? I'm 63, I heard it a gazillion times in Junior High School, this one guy played it non-stop. After a while you get sick of it and don't care if you ever hear it again. Beatles, Stones, Who, Kinks, Doors, Jethro Tull, all of those oldies, great stuff but you know it note for note. Maybe drag it out once every other year or three but that's about it.
  11. https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Electric-Guitar/Kirk-Hammett-Flying-V/Ebony
  12. Better get two, one to worship and one to relic.
  13. I once had the weirdest one and it turned out to be coming from the loose truss rod cover (of all places),
  14. No spacer up by the neck pick up, sits flush
  15. I just looked at a 2007 and 2018, both slant away from the body.
  16. I've never seen one of those in person. It looks kind of "busy", doesn't it? I'd rather have an ES-347 from that era.
  17. 8 discs? Hoo, boy, that's a lot of following around some strange little old man who starts his day off with a cold shower. WIld horses couldn't drag me to that Robert and Toyah show! On a better note, I did an upgrade to a stereo system and listened to Thrak last night, there were a few guitar tracks buried in there that I hadn't heard before.
  18. I got the cheapie version on Amazon, type in In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson at 50 There's also a 5 disc one which I haven't seen.
  19. The PRS guitars never interested me but if one were to take the plastic TONE knobs from a vintage Gibson and stick them on a PRS, perhaps that would give them the bit that's lacking. 335 knobs on the top, Les Paul on the bottom? Does that Morgan have a Guzzi motor?
  20. I can also add how much weight are you prepared to accept? Some of the weight relieved ones are fairly light, others weigh a ton. Then there's pick ups - what sound are you after?
  21. That's the Evil Twin. I stumbled across the natural figured 335s at the Philadephia Guitar Show many years ago and they just stopped me in my tracks.
  22. I watched the In The Court Of The Crimson King documentary. Robert Fripp sure is an irascible old coot, that's for sure. If I was the film maker I would have shot him in the crotch with a water pistol. I'm going to have to watch it a second time, there was a lot going on in it.
  23. Sorry to hear it, losing pets is really hard. I think this one had a really good life.
