But do you have the triangle down pat?

The Atlanta show next month sold out in the presale. A friend has an extra ticket waiting for me. Since the first video was posted on this message board in February I have been fascinated by all that is going on in Angine de Poitrine's music. There are videos analyzing the timing of the music. The spacing of the microtonal frets got people to experiment with zip ties on their necks. This band is like a science experiment and a book of puzzles.

From my experience bidding at the auctions prices tend to get inflated and you end up paying way more than you planned to, especially with 28% buyer premium. For example, I recently bought a military item for less than 50% of what someone won at the auction 15 years ago, and that's not even counting the auction premium in. On top of that, this item was sold through consignment via a dealer, so after factoring in dealer commission and auction fees seller probably recovered 25-30% of what he paid. I prefer to stay away from these auctions.

Ouch! that's going to be a tough call, I can't believe many were made and I would have to believe what were built were all custom ordered. Lefty's no matter who is building them are small in numbers. And IF you find one it's probably going to have a premium price attached. Experts here could comment further.

Mike, I am sorry to read this and I hope your health will improve rapidly. It's a pleasure to know you and your wonderful family. I'm glad I made the trip up to the Shishkov headquarters a couple of times, get to talk to you in person, check out guitars and wood samples. Still love my Shishkov V. All the best for you!

Thanks for posting this Saul. That gentleman is a treasure.

Willie, take care of yourself buddy! I wish you a speedy recovery. Hopefully your lovely daughter will be helping you with your recuperation. P.S. I've really been enjoying my books that I got from you at the Atlanta Show.

Can’t thank you enough for the guitars you made for me. Hoping you get well soon.

My son doesn't have tinnitus, but he grew up with a fan blowing on him when he slept. Now, he hates having the air blow on him. I'm getting him one of these for Christmas!

Decapitiation? arniez

The best-ever version of, "Johnny B. Goode", possibly only rivaled by Frank Marino/Mahogany Rush. JH's use of feedback/whammy on this track is awesome.

I had one a whole lot like that one, a decade or so ago

“Aythe Frehley, lead giTAH! AwwRAT!”

Hey-- they had to sell those Ace Frehley models, so Ace posed for a photo. For some Ace fans that is as much guitar as they can afford.

Damn that was a great score. With a Sustain Block are you kiddin' me? And just the right amount of beat. I'm not a vee guy and would have grabbed it in a heartbeat. Congrats to the new owner!

Cool score! Congrats to whoever.

Nice looking Vector sold at Daves Guitar before I got up this morning. Anybody here? $950.00 Vector V, Early 1980's – Dave's Guitar Shop

I always slept with the fan on to cover my tinnitus up, until my wife decided she didn't like the breeze on her all night (what a jerk). So I got this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E6D6LQY?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_11 It has worked great for the past 12 years or so, has a small footprint (under 6" across), has 10 white noise sounds and 10 convincing fan sounds. We take it on vacation, even. Plus, I don't have to listen to her whine anymore. Win-win. A little pricey but it sounds much bigger than the size suggests.

The ultimate insult: picturing him with an Epiphone.

Found in the stash of pics.

The standard OCD is $179 each. I have the GE OCD and it’s fantastic.
