  1. I would love to have a dedicated guitar room. The kids moved out and I looked at the bedrooms but somehow they’re still storing they’re stuff there. Nice setup
  2. So are you President of the Ibanez of the month club But seriously congratulations on another winner
  3. There would be no happy ending
  4. My wife caught me looking at guitars and surprised me with a Christmas guitar I have to take back everything I said about the Riviera. I tried one at GC a while back and was turned away from them. The unit I tried had what I suppose was a small crack from shipping damage. I said no thanks and walked away. Well now that I have one at home and am getting to know it I love it It’s flawless and was fairly well set up needing only tuned to start playing. Frankly it is one sexy guitar . The neck feels good not like some of the older Epi rubber necks . The minibuckers are brighter and the audio taper pots are responsive . So yeah I’m happy.
  5. The video is the cat using one of the balls for a punching bag.But the thought is still Merry Christmas
  6. If the video didn’t play
  7. IMG_8093.MOV Merry Christmas to Everyone
  8. They must be. My free T shirt says they are
  9. Tim Lerch seems to be impressed with them
  10. It appears that you’re using a Strat pickup. Have you checked out Strat pickup rings? They are available from several sources.
  11. The same one that holds a guitar. Likely pantyhose.
  12. Another stocking stuffer The Monoprice 15 watt amp. A $250 tube amp that gets surprising reviews by some
  13. I don’t mind changing the sound of a guitar including upgrading pickups. I don’t buy a guitar with the intention of changing the neck , it’s just not worth the hassle Also body thickness is important to me. I’m not interested in a thin body Telecaster.
  14. I would have to have play one and give it a good look over . If the neck doesn’t feel good nothing else matters to me.
  15. I like the look of the white T7 but don’t need another mediocre Tele
  16. Come on now . How long will you beat a dead horse
  17. Welcome I really can’t help you with the value But you may get more responses if you star a new thread. People have a tendency not to read a ten year old thread
  18. So will you be suing McD’s welcome back
  19. Talk about an interesting finish, when I was a teen I had a cheap guitar that I decided to refinish. I looked around the basement and found a can of yellow paint that seemed like it would be a good base coat. Mainly it was an ugly color that I wanted to use up. After I considered the base dry the top coat was applied, gloss black. I was rather proud of myself as I hung it from a pipe to dry. A day or so later I came back to check on it and was rather surprised, the yellow had bled through and the result was like black and green marble. It sort of almost looked good. I don’t think I ever got around to putting it back together again.
  20. What . No Kyle Busch tribute? He’s the idiot that smashed a hand made Gibson and one of the reasons I quit watching
  21. I happened by this on YouTube today. It seems to be matte black over burst. Interesting concept and great result here’s the video
  22. Most of my guitars are stored on a rack inside a big cabinet so most of the cases are empty. I don’t have a special case for each one ,some share cases. She’s used to seeing a certain number of “empty” cases around the house. This my inventory overflow system. Last year I dragged home a spinet size Hammond organ. There was no hiding that one. I love the sound but really can’t play it very well. The organ does have tone wheels but the amplifier is transistor so it’s the least desirable tone wheel organ. It does however have a small Leslie unit . The organ has some issues so the future plan is to harvest the Leslie and put it in some type of cabinet for guitar use.
  23. Good strategy. They all look the same I have trouble hiding the cases.
  24. Okay, let’s put it this way. First choice would be Olympic White then Candy Apple and then black This reminds is that scene from The Jerk when Steve Martin was leaving and said he didn’t need anything. Except…..
  25. I have a black Strat, that’s enough for me
