  1. Last one was 73 in a 45 MPH work zone. It was Sunday morning at 5 AM, nobody was working.
  2. I like the color. Unbound rosewood fret board, flat head stock, $2800?
  3. What kind of look? This is yet another iconic mullet look Maybe I'll give the sideways mohawk mullet a try this Summer and dye the sideways mohawk part hot pink.
  4. They've sent me schematics when I've asked Ever since I sent them a really insulting letter about not getting my 25th Anniversary Les Paul belt buckle they've been great to me.
  5. I think the guitar also has a built-in 18 dB preamp but that may have been another SG he used. https://reverb.com/item/422427-gibson-usa-frank-zappa-roxy-sg
  6. He didn't say they helped him. Maybe Gibson told him to jam down the road ya bumble bum bum. I would have played the sympathy card and brought up the bugs in my zoot suit.
  7. What year and model Les Paul? That way you can get the pick up designation and how they wired it up.
  8. Where I grew up a pig picking was what we called a blind date.
  9. I can't find anything, maybe you could sweet talk Gibson?
  10. Go to a hardware store and pick up two small nylon washers, put a washer on either side of the pivot point and the arm won't flop around. You can use a drop of Purple Loctite on the screw as well.
  11. I like the guitar but I'm afraid they'll relic it.
  12. If you paid with a credit card or with PayPal, put in a dispute. If you paid cash or check, get the frets taken care of. They put these things on a PLEK machine so I'd sight down the neck and see what that's doing.
  13. 1960 355 mitt der Bigsby? That might be good but they'll put a million gouges and dents in it and wreck the finish and then charge $9999.95 for it.
  14. At around 8:56 is that a Casino with a Bigsby? That's about the most interesting thing I saw there. No Tone Suck Knob on the 345 as usual. Posers.
  15. Let us know what Gibson says, please.
  16. Thanks for posting that, I should pick up some EL34s for peace of mind.
  17. Or Meghan Fox drinking some equally weird guy's blood (but only a few drops)? Here is a really interesting and sobering article on what your average Russian thinks about the war in Ukraine: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2022/05/03/feeling-around-for-something-human
  18. Tone is in the plastic. It says so right there on the knob.
  19. That piano looks like it has a Jack In The Box top just like their tanks! Maybe that's where they got the idea. P.S. I wouldn't worry about them nuking anyone, they always say that. **** those guys.
  20. The Russian TV shows are all giddy about nuking England and are saying it doesn't matter if they get nuked back as they're going to Heaven and the rest of us just croak. I hadn't heard anything about a tidal wave but I did hear that Hitler was at least part Jewish. Guess they never read How To Win Friends And Influence People. Here's hoping Putler croaks on the operating table but supposedly Number Two is yet another psychopath.
  21. His face has turned into a potato and he's got some sort of weird body spasms going on. All of the world leaders have said Putler really changed over the past two years by which I guess they mean both physically and behaviorally. Just take a look at the 40 foot long conference tables, it's like Howard Hughes crossed with Adolph Hitler.
  22. E-Bow in the early portion of this song.
  23. Sounds like my old Buell Ulysses with 140,000 on it. The thing stranded me 3X in two months, time to let the old thing go and move on. The penultimate break down was kind of creepy: it popped a belt right as a monster storm was moving in so I went down an embankment into the woods to make a phone call and get away from the hightway traffic. I make my call and look up and there's a guy up in a tree with a compound bow watching me. Okay, time to go...
