    Not sure how a 5 year old guitar could be without strings for 10 years. The guy said it was like a new guitar. In a few hours I will see. He said there are new med-light strings on it. This weedend will set it up how I want. Level the frets, if needed and put my gauge strings on and tweek the rod accordingly, and lower the action if need be.

    Maybe he is an Air Guitar artist and just used the D35 for offstage practice! 

  2. The C-8 is a sweet ride, and will be a classic,  but be aware as with most first generation cars there might be some issues that will have to be dealt with,. 

    Chevy has taken care of the "frunk " problem, ( the trunk is in the front, and the electric controlled latch can let go at high speeds) .

    But now GM is recalling most 2020 V-8s including the C-8 due to weak valve springs which can cause total engine failure,  apparently they received a bad batch from a supplier. It only affects some motors so check with the dealership. 

    Then, drive it like you stole It!

  3. RIP EVH, 

    Innovative,  creative, iconoclastic are over used words that have been used to describe those rare artist who appear once in a generation,  if we are lucky. 

    Eddie was all that and more, perhaps an reincarnation of Paganini,  or Amadeus,  or an accumulation of the spirits that many great masters have tapped into over the millennium,  who knows. He was just a kid who loved to play, like so many of us, like so many icons, Atkins, Hendrix,  Montgomery and others who took a simple instrument and took it to places nobody had imagined before.

    He is now on to another plane,  God's Speed, EVH, 

    We miss you already and forever,  see you on the other aide

    Zuma will change your pedal life, and I mean that.  Lots of the problems we have are not the pedals or the cables or the beer signs or the fridges, it's the power supply.  If my Zuma broke tomorrow I would Overnight another one, no matter what it costs.  It's expensive I know, but worth every penny.

    I see what you mean, if I were in need of mucho pedals I'd use it too

    Rain Dances is a great album, they were always a class live band. 

    Agreed, they have an almost global cult following  which is quite an accomplishment considering they never had a hit single on am or fm radio, and they did this before YouTube and the internet,  

    They are very popular in Japan for example.

    Excellent band, a bit underrated regarding other groups.

    IMO Andy Latimer is like David Guilmour but with humbuckers 😁😁.

    Cheers

    I like the way Andy incorporates sustain into his melodic style,  very smooth transitions,

  7. I've lost more than a few friends to dope and the peripheral  world of drugs.  I know of four from my high school class that were gone within a few years after graduating,  (1968) . 

    The guitar player in one band was shot in the back over a drug deal gone bad, that was in 72,  One guy I knew was a Navy Corpsman in Nam,  got strung out on morphine over there, never really got better, died 15 years later,  I've lost a cousin to it, and watched my niece just about ruin her life on crank,  her son has dealt with heroin addiction his entire life, he's nearly 30 now, trying to stay clean and out of prison.  I hope he does, I pray he does, but I wouldn't trust him further than I could kick a brick. 

    In my experience,  tough love is the only thing that works.  You have to be there for them, but you can't play the game, . 

    It isn't easy or fair.
