Guest Farnsbarns Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I don't respect him as a person...he's friggin weird...but that dude can play guitar! He won't be playing mine! Seriously. The next person to get their hands on one of his guitars needs to smash it, right there and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yeah...lots of guitar players mad about this one. Reeks of publicity stunt to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenKen Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I don't respect him as a person...he's friggin weird.. But you don't know him as a person :blink: And yeah, I'd say there is no way this wasn't contrived and agreed to by all parties involved. Probably was a re-issue worth about $500.

pippy Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 That's weird... There was a thread about this yesterday but it's gone. Area 51(?) strikes again? Yup. Talented virtuoso but......errmmmm......I won't carry on......... P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quapman Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I can't say I ever respected him. I appreciate how great a player he is. But I have always thought of him as an arrogant d-ick head. I have seen him drop guitars before. If that was my guitar I would drop one on his head. He changed his name to a symbol... what's that tell ya.. This doesn't surprise me.

ShredAstaire Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 But you don't know him as a person :blink: He has a house in Toronto and goes door to door to save people's souls. I think that's enough to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenKen Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Clearly you don't understand show business, which by his great success I would say he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 He has a house in Toronto and goes door to door to save people's souls. I'll bet he won't go to Kirk Douglas' house. Otherwise it will be his own soul that'll be in need of saving... P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll say it again here,, A fella I have use for, and you'd have pound him into a fine powder if he did that to any of your guitars right??? None of my guitars cost over $800....so no. I'm not a violent person....i'd just get him to buy me a new one. :) I'd still think he was a Richard though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinTheHood Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Probably was a re-issue worth about $500. No. It is a 1961 Crestwood with a humbucker at the bridge - obvioulsy a modification that, unfortunatley, devalues the guitar because of the routing neccessary to accomodate the bigger pickup. After the pickup mod and the headstock break, the guitar just might be worth little more than $500 though. Most unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it was OK'd with Mr. Douglas before the performance! Result!!! P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
