Members triviani Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 OP is not that far off, apart from picturing him ashamed to show his "cheap" guitar in public. Always surprised me how some guys over there collect CS fenders and gibsons as they were collecting stickers. The "high-end" market they call it, were guitars have to "meet your expectations". I searched and I couldn't find a single thread about the offsquiers, seems like they are too cheap to be even called -guitars-. "Bluesmasters" You bet they know who's buying that guitar.. That seemed pretty tame compared to the normal TGP fair.... One particular thread contained the classic line, "I would rather be a bad guitar player with good guitars than a good guitar player with a bad guitar"...... There are not enough facepalms in the internet for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thegumbootman Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 There's a thread over there right now asking for recommendations for cheap alternatives to Gravity and V-picks. Never heard of them so I looked them up. Gravity's are laser-cut acrylics. Yours for the low low price of $3.99. Per pick. I got a free sample Gravity pick. It has been the only pick I've used for the past 6 months. They do last quite a while before {censored}ting themselves. I'm just surprised I haven't lost it yet.

Members orourke Posted July 22, 2012 Members Share Posted July 22, 2012 wow wtf? I decided to Wikipedia Seth Lover to make sure he wasn't still alive (nope ) and this comes up in his bio: Two weeks to the day after his final appearance in bed with David Bowie behind stage at the National Association of Music Merchants show, Seth E. Lover, inventor of the humbucker pickup, died aged 87. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_Lover That must be some kind of a joke or mistake or something.

Members The Lou-Dog Posted July 23, 2012 Members Share Posted July 23, 2012 I played one last night. They really do play themselves, I just don't find they have any weight behind the tone. They're so easy to play though. They make you play {censored} you couldn't play on other guitars. This is definitely the biggest positive about Paul Reed Smiths..... They play so easy!

He's a bit of a chameleon. He plays some pretty full on {censored} in his own trio that's a bit choppier, he also plays some beautiful trio music on his nylon string with an accordion and tenor saxophone, as well as some far out noisy {censored} as well. He's a great teacher as well. There's a greatAlbum of his with Jim Black playing drums..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
