We are excited to be the worldwide partner for Slash’s new album with Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators and look forward to delivering their new music to fans everywhere around the world.”

I thought Weird Al had lost his mind with his mind with the Take It Away parody as I saw that before the Chili Peppers video.

I forsee an Armour All damaged my nitro finish thread in our future.

I had no idea it was still on. Happy Birthday, I think.

At least I didn't have to call them to say no thank you. I always thought they got the original design right the first time and they've been screwing around with it ever since. $1600, $1800 okay, that's reasonable. $5800, $19000, no thank you, it's just a flat hunk of wood.

Good point! If they send me the royalty checks I'll even buy a Metallica album. I want the one where the little kid has nightmares about Freddy Kruger or whatever that was on MTV decades ago. Here Comes The Boogeyman (hide under the blankets)? Something like that.

He has a guitar career?

Their latest Ambassador is the guy from Metallica. I guess they know their target audience but I'm starting to get that upside down V/Holy Explorer pre-aged iconic lifestyle feel about things.

One bad idea deserves another. This model is why there is a gap in my knowledge of Gibson electrics from 2007 until 2013, I couldn't take it no more. A cross between an Explorer and a wooden rocking chair.

Okay, I'll take all 3. Does Gibson accept collect calls?

Gibson tells you to call for the price. Don't think Santa will be bringing me any korina/limba wood models in this lifetime.

I used to run around with some girls from nursing school. I would expect lots of nudity after they get a few drinks in them.

Those Guild GADs are really good for the price. We've got a GAD 30 and I like it better than my old Guild D40-NT (I think it's called) - a laminate with an arched back some sort of fake wood fret board. I think it's made out of recycled Richlite and particle board.

You've just been Sgt. Zappa bombed!

When he said "greenish" I knew what they did. Martin puts some tint on some (like on my HD-28V) to give it a start to looking aged. I would have specified no tint but you buy used you take what you can get.

Good. It looks beautiful from here. When you get some time on it, write up your impressions, please.

Does it live up to your expectations?

40 nurses? Uh oh, you could be in for a long night with those nutty women.

Weren't you in your own private Idaho?

Nitrocellulose VOS (Vintage Patina) It looks like they're trying to give it a head start on looking old without dragging it across the parking lot and charging extra for it.

I found the bit about the spray the cloth and hit the back of the neck useful. All of his videos are really helpful.

I wouldn't touch it, maybe $1000 - 1300? Then again, I'm pretty cheap.

My laugh for the day, thank you!

I've got one with one button, it came with an amplifier.

Oh, those are inside the case...
