This non-chugging sissy boy did confirm in an earlier post on that 777 thread that he paid $3500!!! I am really beginning to hate Gibson. I wonder if Randall's kicking himself in the ass for selling to those dickheads?
I travel with 2. I hit them strings pretty hard but don't encounter much if any string breakage using .11-.56 sets. I take 2 for peace of mind more than anything. My band uses one alternate tuning and I punch the Whammy Ricochet to get there.
Totally not gear related, but I ordered an alternator from Rock Auto. The part is in a warehouse in Ohio. I'm in Ohio. Part shipped via FedEx on Friday, and I should have had it yesterday (Saturday). It is now in Keasbey, NJ. Go freakin' figure. FedEx really does suck.
If you can't find anyone close to home, it's worth your while to have a conversation with Rob Chafe (Madcow Amplification, Columbus, OH) ?

The last 412 cab I bought smells like it has been marinated in Pall Malls for the last 20 yrs. Of course I sprayed some colonge on it to give it that dirty ol gigolo essence. Primo. ?
I'm not a fan of anything Kiesel does. They have issued some of the fugliest headstocks known to man. Add to that, I don't like supporting douchebags.
I'd rather spend my money on an Epiphone.
