Larsongs

There are plenty of Songwriters writing sad, depressing, negative, out of love, gothic horror, satanic, political, etc Songs… I try not to write those types of Songs..

Ok… Got it.. Thanks

So what? Who cares if it is or isn’t? As long as it’s a good Forum! Have a great day!

Whatever.. It’s a Forum about Fenders called the Fender Forum. It covers all things Fender & I haven’t see any Threads about banning..

The Fender Forum appears to be alive & well.. Just went there… Interestingly enough they have a Gibson Section.. That ”banned” isn’t the only mention of banned on this forum…. I’m just saying I don’t see this even come up on most other forums..

Glad it worked out for you.. They are wonderful Guitars! Enjoy!

Seems like it’s happening on this Forum often enough to become the topic of multiple Threads…. Just sayin’ I don’t see this happening on other Guitar Co. Forums?

I bought a Half Gallon of Ice Cream at Trader Joe’s the other day.. Got home & when I put it in the Freezer I was surprised to see how huge it looked next to a regular Dreyers Ice Cream! Could they start shrinking Guitars & Amps too? Or have they?

An ES335 is really hard to beat! The 1959 thru early 60’s with original PAF Humbuckers are the best sounding, most desirable & most expensive.. $Five figures & higher… From that point on Gibson has made numerous Humbuckers for the ES335’s.. Their Sound quality becomes subjective.. For the most part Gibson has attempted to reproduce the Original PAF Sound.. I’ve yet to hear any that sound as good as my vintage 1959 did… That said, some of the ES335’s sound really good.. From the late 90’s on Gibson has been building really good 335’s.. IMO.. And are more reasonably priced… You really need to play as many as possible to hear which Pickups you like the best… IMO, the Pickups used in the past 25 years, or more, Sound varies dramatically… To my ears the recent MHS Humbuckers sound close to the best original PAF’s.. 57 Classics sound good too.. But, those are my opinions.. Good luck in your quest..

All my Acoustics are also Electric. Half of the time I use my Boss Tuner foot pedal on my board as I’m usually playing Electric Guitars as well. But it would still be nice to have a high quality clip on Tuner that is also as good looking as the Guitar it’s clipped on to.. It would be great to see some Pics of what you all are using..

I use a Snark but take it off as soon as I tune.. Clip on Tuners look cheap & are Ugly. They do nothing for the look of a beautiful Work of Art Guitar! I wish one would come along that’s high quality & Literally invisible. I wish more Guitars had built in Tuners.. Not just Acoustics… Electrics too… I don’t get why they don’t? I’ll gladly pay a little more.. (I’m not referring to Robos either)… LOL..

That’s amazing! Something you said got you banned & it’s beating a “dead horse”? Really, a “dead horse”?

Read the 1st amendment(those able to) carefully, and you'll notice the wording... First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Looks to me like it reads that CONGRESS shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. Says NOTHING about disallowing anybody else from doing so. People have been misreading and misinterpreting the first amendment to suit their own purpose just as others have been doing the same with the second amendment. Whitefang

Great Thread! It will be in the last place you look!

Are you saying American Companies, their Employees or People who represent them & put programs on Computers are exempt from Laws? Where is it written an American Citizen needs to do anything to be allowed Freedom of Speech in America? Anywhere. Including on a Computer.. Common sense, good judgment & courtesy should be exercised.. But, disagreeing about things, asking questions, debating & sometimes pushing back when you think your point about a subject is valid, correct & matters should not be cause for someone to be banned? We’re all big Boys.. You gotta have thick skin once in a while.. I think in most cases Threads should be allowed to play out..

For asking a question? Seriously? I’m not directing this statement to those who live outside the U.S.A. Because, your Countries laws may be different.. There are Countries that “Freedom of Sppeech” isn’t allowed.. I’m directing this statement to American Citizens.. I really find it hard to believe that Gibson Inc., it’s CEO & their Board of Directors wants to allow a Forum using their “Name” that doesn’t allow the Freedom of Speech in America…

I used to own a mint beautiful vintage real 1959 Gibson ES345. I was naive, didn’t know much about Guitars & foolishly sold it… I didn’t know what I had.. A few years later I owned a Dot & it was a really nice Guitar.. But, it didn’t sound as good as that old 59 ES345.. So, I sold it & bought one of the last Memphis Gibson ES335’s… It’s a great Guitar.. Not the 59 I had but a very good Guitar.. Some of the Epiphone 335 Dots are really nice & some have good sounding Pickups. Some. Not all. I’ve played some really good Pro models.. You really have to try them out to know.. The same can be said about Gibson ES335’s.. But, consistently, they are beautifully built with all the best materials, techniques & have great Pickups.. It depends on what Pickups you like… There are so many variations. They all sound good.. It usually comes down to which Pickups sound best to you…

You should’ve seen me in the 60’s! I apologize to all for being curious about stuff..

Oh, Wow! I ask a question & get… “Not you!”.. All I did was ask a question.. What have I done to you? I was curious whose Forum this is? And you get all cut & dried about it! Ok…….

I thought I read in a previous Thread discussion it isn’t? Is it or isn’t it? Seems like a fair question.. If not, Who moderates the Mod’s? I’m just curious..

Whose Website is this?

If it bugs the OP that much why not sell it & buy another one with all the proper things that go with it?

Which is why I decided not to go… I don’t think Gretsch was there either… The only 3 Guitar companies I wanted to see & try out for my next NGD…

It’s been so long I’m going to re-watch all of Peaky Blinders.. Then the new Season.. I watch Docs on History Channel. As well as all things Music related.. I just re-watched Concert for George & a Roy Orbison Documentary.. I’ve never watched Across The Universe & am watching it now.. A little corny in the story line but the music is really well done so far.. I wish someone would come up with a TV Series about Guitars & Amps. I’d love to be a part of a Show like that.. It’s a Series that could be literally endless!
