LOL, all us 80's rockers and even the older 70's era glam guys have to admit that it is pretty damn funny that we are complaining about this kids hair or his fashion choices. If you could go into our skeleton filled closets and post pics of our worst fashion choices while trying to be in the...
As a certified old man guitar player, this thread takes me back about 40 years. I remember it being say 1982 (so I was around 15) or so and going in to my local guitar shop where there were a couple of guys who worked there that I thought were old as hell. They were probably 26-30 years old now...
I think it is pretty sobering when you step back and look at your gear and realize you have better gear than your heroes did when they recorded the albums that inspire you for playing and tone to this day.
We all knew that online buying was a loophole where we could escape sales tax and we all should have known that as soon as it was possible our politicians would close the loophole.
Anyone think Reverb and Ebay wanted to start collecting and remitting taxes to 1000's of different tax jurisdictions throughout the world? They wanted, with no increased profit to them, to take on that massive burden and hire departments of people to make it happen? Governments have forced them...
I do that at the grocery store. I go up to the produce guy and say, "hey man, bring these apples to the back door and I'll drive around and pay you cash for them."
Thanks for the 11 month old bump putting this on the front page instead of page 271 where it belonged. You had me screaming NOT AGAIN?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! until I saw that this was from February 2022.
The holes are not only off center, they are huge. We don't do rear mounting for a Floyd unless the buyer specifies it, but I think there is only 1 guitar out there with a rear mounted nut that we did. That doesn't count this atrocity that Helen Keller worked on. :)
Good thing it's a bolt-on neck. Ha ha. We have told a couple of prospective buyers that we would be happy to swap that neck for a new one (for a charge obviously) but would love to take that neck out of circulation so no one makes the mistake thinking we did that.
Couldn't be that many years, the kid looks like he is seven. :)
Seven and smoking me. Sad.
When I read "kid", based on the age of many of us, I was expecting to see a 30 year old, not literally a kid. Well, I'll tell you what he can't do as well as me. Drink legally. Here's to you Abim. :cheers:
That's the one that someone butchered the Floyd Nut install by making substantially larger holes in the back of the neck than is necessary. When this left our shop, the nut was top-mounted. It's definitely repairable but you will see the repair after it is done.
Like many here, Steeler, both Alcatrazz albums, Rising Force and Marching Out. I still listen on occasion to other stuff of his but those are the pinnacle for me.
