  1. I want a guitar that has made up wood names like Chromite and Korina. And it had better be put together with hot hide glue or NO SALE!
  2. That looks great. What color is the case liner? I only have one guitar with that colored binding and it has a red case interior.
  3. I believe they were Moto Guzzi Eldorado cop bikes. Remember the Dirty Harry movie where the Guzzis were clattering around and Clint was on a Triumph Bonneville, that time period. One quart per 500 miles could make for an awfully long trip! Those were different times, you never knew if you were actually going to get where you were going with lots of adventures along the way. Now they whine about how their Bluetooth accessories aren't very user friendly, boo hoo.
  4. I only have received one COA over the years. I don't know what the criteria is for them issuing one with the guitar. Dollar amount?
  5. The big Cee Bailey windscreen on the Tiger is great in the cold. Right before the CHP signed with Kawasaki they were entertaining Moto Guzzi as their cop bike. The Italians were having some labor unrest and they sent the CHP a batch of bikes with NO PISTON RINGS. Way to go! That big road trip on that Harley sounds like it was an awful lot of fun. I was on Norton Commandos back then (being left stranded at various places)...
  6. Like most of my Gibsons my Martin has no flaws. This is Scratch N Dent stuff made from odds and ends.
  7. I just don't know anymore. https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Electric-Guitar/MOD-RAM020115/Silver-Mist-Poly Tuners on crooked, the white paint in the F-holes is flaking off already, they painted over a chip by the F-hole, they decided to leave the tailpiece holes for no reason, scratch on the headstock, $5800. And then there's this guy with the painted-over divet and open Waverly tuners: https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Electric-Guitar/MOD-RAM019689/Space-Rust
  8. You check your emails and discover you ordered a Buck Ranger Slim Pro TRX knife from both eBay and Amazon and don't remember placing the Amazon order.
  9. Better than 7 Les Pauls AND a Stratocaster with a whammy bar.
  10. All Triumphs: 02 955 Sprint RS 04 955 Sprint RS 04 955 Sprint ST 06 955 Tiger 07 1050 Sprint ST 11 1050 Sprint GT I had the summer windscreens on the Tiger and GT and that did me in. The Tiger is now back to being The PopeCycle: (my wife's comment on the windshield was it looks like something the Pope would ride)
  11. Half dozen. Note to self: dress warmer.
  12. No pot, no booze but I did wake up early and take all of the motorcycles out for a spin. Got to ring in 2023 on the right note.
  13. I'm ready. Just had a power nap to get into the swing of things!
  14. I'm holding out for the Camouflage SG Jr. so I can channel my Inner Rambo. Poke your eyes out with the pointy horns when you least expect it!
  15. In the Norlin era they stamped tons of them SECONDS to get them to sell (at a reduced price).
  16. I think everybody should have one blue one.
  17. I want one that has "Hello, Gibby!" painted on the front. Does anyone here own, or know of anyone who owns, an olive drab Gibson?
  18. For those who own both models, how much of a difference is there between a Lucille and a 355? I know the necks are going to be totally different due to Mr. King's gigantic hands.
  19. I'd replace those white knobs with white dice if I had that Martin. Have you ever seen any of Martin's real electric guitars? Woof.
  20. When we see the Sideways V, then we'll know for sure.
  21. Is this the model with the Flake-O-Matic paint job? No, no such luck, Santa doesn't love me like he used to.
  22. I'd go for a white one, proper headstock, banjo tuners and a Maestro vibrato. I won't do the custom shop prices, though.
  23. Nice model but fake ageing and it was 7 grand.
  24. I have no idea what any of this has to do with somebody rolling off the tone knob but I hear this is the latest craze:
  25. A new Standard shouldn't have coil splitting, The Classic, maybe.
