  1. Inspired by audionet's recent posts, I digged out a few of my jams with Dave over the last while. Like many of his friends here, I'm in awe of mrsully's skills and good taste in creating music and putting it all together in his home studio. The dude is simply awesome. I'm hardly worthy of putting tracks on his stuff but my repetitive and predictable noodling has been welcomed in the gentle and forgiving environment of HCEG so it's all good. Slow Blues
  2. $351?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, why do i never get those kind of deals? I tried this guitar (same shape, also Aria proII and nice appointments, etc.) and it was in an entirely different league than Epiphone. not even to compare.
  3. As someone who, when he chooses to, has a knack for barely toeing the line (while appearing to some to be getting out of it), jj is one of the best qualified to judge if someone is really breaking the rules in a way that hurts this place. He posseses an uncanny ability to read people's intents and where they're heading to. He's a smart dude. So I vote YES!
  4. Happy birthday, Dave! That's a lot of people coming to a birthday party!
  5. Awesome job, Mario. Good that your kid is helping!
  6. Yamaha SA2200 I drool profusely over the the small body SAS-1500, a "339" version of the SA2200. Only available in Japan.
  7. Amen, brother. An aesthetic blunder on an otherwise beautiful guitar, even if not to my taste. This particular shape is often seen on high end guitars and many say they dislike it. Personally, I can't find anything ugly in it. I like it a lot, actually. My lag Louisiane has that shape as well.
  8. I don't know what it is, but I can be really obdurate (as many of you know). I had been hearing people go on and on about Richard Thompson for years. I had listened to a bit of it, too, but it never really did anything for me. Finally saw him in concert maybe 6 months or so ago. I don't get it. Don't misunderstand. I'm not saying he's not everything his fans say he is, but I left scratching my head wondering what all the fuss is about. That show just left me cold, and I really wanted to like him. I hope nobody thinks I'm bashing the guy, because that's not it at all. Just wondering what I am missing that I can't appreciate somebody who is by all accounts one of the great talents of out time. It says more about you than about R. Thompson. It means you are not someone who simply jump on the bandwagon. Good for you.
  9. Hum, I have so many. Alex de grassi is right up there for me. So is Bensusan.
  10. Funny looking hardware. Overall the kind of look that I don't like. I imagine it to be a good instrument, though.
  11. From my experience, it can grow on you. I used to ponder if I'd sell my LP when I didn't bond with it enough and found it ackward ergonomically, etc. but i kept it and found myself playing it more and more regularily. Somehow, I find it more confortable to play than I used to and it gets the same love as the others. great guitar.
