Everyone needs vices, and guitars have been far less troublesome than food, drugs, and strange.

But dude, there's your answer - "Because the gubmint's going to come for my guitars!!!!"

I got that attitude-laced question from my brother-in-law, an avid hunter. He shut up when I asked why he had so many guns.

It's always easy, "straightforward" until you're the one, waiting "months" while your guitar is in limbo, just to pay all the nonsense, hidden fees that they hit you with... once some dumbass flags your guitar, it can pass through multiple supervisors "getting shipoed back and forth" for verification... God help you if that fretboard is made out of Brazilian rosewood. 🤷‍♂️

Carr makes great stuff.

Wish I had a vid of Ded Mullet doing it, I feel like we kicked arse on it 😁

Its fun, thats why. I go thru a few guitars every year, I evaluate and enjoy them for awhile then move 'em on. I never have more than 5 at a time. They are all temporary, except my Ibby AS50, that a keeper.

I got something even more interesting clicking the link: Wow!

Seems pretty straightforward to me assuming the Serial Number on this Certificate matches the Serial Number on the guitar.

Spectacular! That picture even sounds great. Thanks for posting!

Until Slash, the Les Paul seemed 'guitarra non grata' in the 80's. Everyone was trying to figure a way into the Super Strat market. Cool substack here: Gibson's Super Strats - by David Still - Guitar Gavel definitely worth a quick read and showing these:

^^Highly recommended to CLICK THAT ^^ Outstanding! That's how that should be done and the Newport 90 sounds fantastic!

A way more talented friend played mine a couple of years ago sitting in with Guy Forsyth. https://youtu.be/uwhKxGg_cwQ?is=XC1Pw1I9sT57G24t

Here's another '87 WRC Charvel that was painted by our own Jim O'Connor... Gibson WRC 1987 Custom Graphic Wayne Charvel https://reverb.com/item/96875785?utm_source=android-app&utm_medium=android-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=96875785

Precisely. I'm not up for the "mumbo jumbo" either.

an HFC brother once told me he wanted to have one guitar for each year he's on the planet; I agree but I might have a rather optimistic expectation of my lifespan lol. some guitars are like postcards from a prior era in my life; every time I pick up a Jem it takes me back to the DLR days with Vai and Sheehan (I still can't hang with the tunes, but I think I'm getting a little closer). When I pick up a Standard (usually Shishkov) I can't help but play some Cheap Trick. Sometimes a guitar calls your name, and I end up losing myself jamming along with the stereo. It changes from day to day, and I like having a few choices (of course there's the day the Epiphone Casino went from Sgt Pepper then into the Heaven and Hell album; mrs stonge was just shaking her head when I told her which guitar I was using). Random Access Ed as I say...

Always great to see pictures, especially of a Korina Artist!

Yup, that's a Wayne Charvel creation when he worked for Gibson

Did a double take on this Gibson for-sale in Facebook Market place. Yeah, its not exactly the same as a Chappie, but dang its close. Not in the market for FR guitars back then so had never seen this one before.

I could vacation in the Bahamas. But thats gone in a week. I've had some guitars for decades, and could sell them for more than I bought. Can't sell a 25 year old vacation.

I found my answer in the archive from 2021.it was actually about the guitar I just purchased.The Box did have my guitars serial number on it.Probably should have put this in ask the experts forum.

the right tire for the bus is a "load range D", but not the trailer ones. the sidewalls are stiff AF. thats all I got
