I have been listening to this album for a couple of months at the gym. One of my 2023 album of the year candidates.

Related to the topic of redefining guitar: they are tremendously talented, no doubt, but I don’t see them having the impact to redefine guitar. They have fans and are very original, but I ultimately think they have carved their place at the pinnacle of their thing, but the majority of guitar...

Peace Machine is still his pinnacle album for me. I don’t think he’s come close to it since. That album has no filler. Beginning to end is great.

I have always loved that he used his Norlin lps and his own brand continues to utilize maple necks. I know for most Gibson purists, the Norlin era is their most hated. I have never had good luck with mahogany neck stability. 3 piece maple necks are super stable. I wish there were more...

After doing some research on the swap, I came across this problem. On top of that, most people who have done it seem to not like the results as much as the original configuration.

I have thought of that. Probably a worthwhile experiment.

DiMarzio has the Transition listed as a hot pickup. Is it not as hot as listed?

Is there a pickup voiced like a DiMarzio SD but a little lower output to better balance with singles?

He has been bad for a few years now

I never hear anything bad about Paul and never anything good about Al.

I think I will hold out for the AmpX.

I actually have one. Love it. I am trying to scratch the LP Custom itch. If Wylde Audio didn't have bullseye and buzzsaw graphics on everything, I would probably just go that route.

They have a great reputation, but none that I have seen with maple necks.

Yes. I need to try more of them or go to a different store. The ones I have tried at GC were not set up all that well and I didn't think the fret work was as good as LTD 1000s. I should probably try a store where they care for their inventory better.

Norlin style meaning 3 piece maple neck (not fretboard) or at least a maple neck? I know Wylde Audio does with the Odin Grails, but all of those have a Zakk style graphic on them. I love those Norlin LP Customs, but I don't have the wallet for one with kids in college.

Love Gary. The guy doing Gary Moore-ish blues today is Eric Steckel.

Valid is probably too strong a word. The challenge with opinions, especially when it comes to things that are based on subjective taste, is that they are not always based on objective criteria. I hate punk. No reason other than I just find it to be repetitive and sloppy. My best friend loves the...

A valid opinion begins and ends with it being a subjective statement. The moment you make an objective claim with an opinion, you can easily attack the opinion. If I say something objectively sucks, not simply that I don't like it or I think it is nothing special, that opens the statement up to...

You challenged the entire validity of his opinion based on what your opinion would have been if he offered a useless answer to your challenge to make something better. So, basically your post was a massive logic contradiction.

Huh? This is exactly the place for this kind of discussion. You don't have to have the ability to make better product in order to have an opinion. I can't write or direct a movie, but I still have opinions and vote with my wallet. I also thought Wolf's music was fine but nothing that jumps out...
