  1. Okay, so I decided to take the task on myself, as usual, lol. The neck has been glued and I've tested the pressure and its strong. You'll see the glue I used and while it's stated to be sandable, that's not true so I'll be filling the crack in the photo's with something else. I rubbed on a little of the matched stain I picked up but am not unwilling to refinish it in a solid color, totally new. I'm capable of this. You'll see where the neck broke on the front, there is a fold, which looks worse in the picture and something I could make less apparent with some smeared dye or something. Conversely, I could get decals and completely refinish the front, with the Gibson Diamond logo in mother of pearl. Thoughts? Colors if thinking refinish?

  2. Actually, at that price point, I do feel they are overrated. I played one last week (the LL36) and for what you'd have to pay for that guitar ($3000-$4000), would entertain a plethora of other guitars at far less of a price point. The Martin Sustainable Wood series was WAY better IMO and was $1500ish. Bang for buck, nothing beats the Yamaha 700 series but after that, count me out.
  3. Recently, I have played almost every popular guitar available in North America for $1500 and less, many have been Yamaha's, AC3R, LL16, L6, etc... While they are built well and good guitars, they didn't hold a candle to say the Martin DSR's, Blueridge, Eastman's etc... While they appear durable, they sound like an over-produced CD, sterile with no body (tinny). I suppose tone is subjective and while I still believe they are good value, they are overrated. The end.
  4. EMG's that came with a couple of different guitars I bought. 3 actually, you'd think I'd learn. I decided to keep one these guitars and gutted it for some nice passives.

  6. Gee, that's just not fair. Condolences.
  7. Dual bucker mahogany tele. I'd build my own but there are G&L ASAT Deluxes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/G-L-USA-Custom-25th-Anniversary-ASAT-Mahogany-Body-FENDER-Telecaster-styl-Guitar-/350510510221?pt=Guitar&hash=item519c0df08d#ht_12153wt_1344 http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-USA-G-L-ASAT-DELUXE-SEMI-HOLLOW-VIDEO-DEMO-LOADED-W-OPTIONS-/150663487618?pt=Guitar&hash=item23143e6082

What a wanker... Impress yourself much?
  9. Why all the expressions of hate? If you don't like the guy or his music, don't pay any attention to it. All of this attention being paid to something someone does not like is IMO defeating the purpose of music. Please, don't be so logical. It's far easier to hate but takes courage to like and love. So, today, I am going to be positive with every stranger I meet. I bet it comes back to me...
  10. Yeah, Taylor Swift called him names. I heard they made a sex tape and that has largely fuelled their public fight, not her use of John in her music, as originally thought. Regardless, apparently you can see John's whole bare bum in the video, I can't wait!
  11. Winner! Taylor swift has been dissing him lately. Damn the blues. If Taylor Swift and John Mayer made a porno, I'd watch it. I think he has a nice bum.
  12. at least he didn't make her pretend she was BB King......................... BB would be a caring, gentle lover I bet. Nice hands too.
  13. On the contrary, all you have to offer is venom and insults. I have not insulted anyone in this forum, but have been met by an irrational barrage bizarrely-hostile of ad hominem attacks from day one. I hope some day you will realize that your behavior is inappropriate and make the requisite changes. It's quite clear that are here solely to argue and insert your venom in a manner which will ensure your survival, for the time being. You can argue all you like, because that's what you want but it is very obvious what you are all about.
  14. I hate. Therefore, I am. There is truth in this statement, however, its the easy way out and breeds negativity. Being positive is far more courageous. One of my wife's friends comes over periodically and literally bitches for 2 hours, if life is really that bad, just off yourself already instead of infecting everyone else with your {censored}. The end.
  15. What is your platform? To be more stringent within the rules? I say we should have a collective community vote regarding the subject matter/matters as we are all equal in the context of this forum. I'd probably vote you in though (hypothetical or not), if you would give reason and rationale for you becoming a mod and if you do become a mod, give feedback when you act upon your powers to better inform those who have not abided by the forum rules. PS I say just ban Django and everything will be fine.
  16. People don't give a {censored} about playing. Shopping and name calling is where it's at, hippie! LOL. There is so much truth to this statement. Culture changes are inevitable this forum inclusive. The beauty is, you don't have to live in this culture if you don't want to. Personally, I have witnessed a lot of changes in this forum in my time here. Some good, some not so good. I still like it here though.
  17. I've decided to begin shooting a lot of video of myself so when I die, can still hang out with everybody as a hologram. First on the cards, a Christmas video of me singing and playing guitar for my family, shown every Christmas. Second, me eating Christmas dinner... they play it while they are eating around the table.
  18. Anyone? The wonderful thing about facts is that they can be proven. So... I await your evidence that proves this fact you speak of. First you would have to know the extent of musical talent of EVERYONE on this board. This is true. There are a lot of "facts" on this board that have no evidence whatsoever. It is far better to approach statements with, "it is of my opinion" or "I find it hard to believe that anyone" but that is not happening any time soon.
  19. Oh you have to know right now somewhere there's a "megaband" with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Elvis, Levon Helm, Jaco Pastorius, and Vince Welnick with special guest Jerry Garcia being "rendered" somewhere for a big unveiling. You just know it. There's too much money NOT to do it. Not that I agree with it but..... But would you go to it? I would, just to see Hendrix and Morrison. How about this... instead of going through old photo albums at Christmas dinner, have your deceased relatives in the room with you (given we could have personal hologram machines). How would that be?
  20. I'm interested in the technology and have always said I wanted hologram television. I'm sure it is possible. It would be pretty cool to have hologram concert footage in my living room. Going to a hologram concert, not the same. Zero interaction makes it different.
  21. Gee, thieves are the lowest of the low. I would have thought they would offer a bit more of a reward though. Not much incentive for someone to tell on a potentially dangerous character who may be capable of anything.
  22. While you will get used to it, like Cobalt Blue said, I find Ernie Ball have more flexibility so it is something to consider. If you have an acoustic, go play that for a couple of days bending and whatnot and come back to the strat, it will be very easy. The action will not have any effect on the tension.
