I bought it. I’ve listened to 3 of 4 sides. I’ve liked every song. Good double album.

No, we have Queens New York also.

Do you like the album?

I haven’t liked much that Ozzy has done in recent years. But I liked that. It felt right

It was full good!🙂

Best Queen ever!!!

It is great! The guy singing reminds me of Hank Williams a little. The guitar playing is terrific! Thanks for sharing!

No, we weren’t sick of taxes. We were sick of being taxed without representation. I couldn’t let that go. I have a teaching credential in History. 🙂

I guess Dio wasn’t a dreamer. Because, you know, he died.

So sorry for your loss. I love dogs, cats and most animals I come across. They sure make our lives more enjoyable.

I thought this was a good book. Very comprehensive.

I don't do cruises. Never wanted to. Never will.

Got an email today from Sweetwater. Looks like they are joining the fray for selling stuff. They have something now called the “Gear Exchange “. You can buy/sell gear on it. Maybe the competition will help lower some of the fees.

NO, not the same principle at all. Apples and Oranges... But you go ahead and think you're right.

Nobody is saying that. Were not talking about a 1963 Corvette Spit Window Sting Ray here. Were talking about a regular Les Paul Studio from 2016 that cost me $ 680 and now sells for over $1000 6 years later. How is that comparable to what a 1963 Corvette costs today???? It's not.

Sgt. is right. It’s not the guitar that coil splits, it’s the pickup.

Yeah, that looks pretty close to being the same. I have had minis that were very close to being the same. Not quite as close as yours. I have also had some that were significantly different. Their location, of course, will also make a difference in how they will sound as well. I don't know anything about replacing the magnet, so I can't help you there. But that sounds like something that might work. You may want to just try them out the way they are first to see how they sound. You never know, you may like them the way they are.

That sounds like a good deal to me. Win-Win for both of you without all those hassels you mentioned. I wish I could do that!

I'm curious. Why would the shop owner be willing to do this? Are you giving him any kind of incentive?

2020

It's nothing new that the prices of guitars on Reverb and other places are very high from what they originally cost. And Gibsons probably have the highest markup. I bought an 2014 SGJ in 2014, for $480. It was at the end of the year and they had lowered the price somwhat. I now see this exact same guitar going for $700-$1000 dollars on Reverb. And I bought a Les Paul Studio in 2016 for $650. I see them all the time on Reverb for $800-$1400. It just irritates me that so many people try to rip so many people off. And yes, I know it's not new. But it just seems to be so bad nowadays. I'm really glad I bought those guitars new when I did. Because I couldn't afford to buy them used today!

Where is? You say, here is the 2017 Gibson SG T, and then you follow that with a bunch of words. That's not it. That's just a sales pitch you have pasted in there. I would much rather here YOUR take on it. Not what Gibson wants me to think about it.

Playing music is supposed to be fun. Unless you are a working musician who does it for a living, it should always be fun. And even then, it should be fun most of the time. I'm like you. I have played in public a few times throughout my life. But I just like to jam with other people and have fun. I agree. Fun is important when it comes to playing music!

No, it's supposed to be 92. But it does get hot here. It cools off significantly most nights though. We get a nice delta breeze from the San. Fran. Bay and it can go down 30+ degrees when the sun goes down. Did you see them at Cal Expo? That is an outdoor venue here in Sac. Arco is all indoors and is not around anymore. It has closed. In fact, I think Cal Expo no longer has concerts anymore. I was there on May 20th 1992. I still have some matches that sombody gave me while there. It was the only time I have seen them live. It was a great show and I will always treasure that experience. I moved here in 1986.
