Hey @BadgerDave: I don’t know VOS from V05, but your guitar appears to be too shiny and beautiful to have a layer of anything over the finish. Is this a non-VOS instrument? I understand that one has to actually specify non-VOS when ordering a new Gibson. I hope you don’t mind the question, just trying to learn something today. Thanks TJ

Shishkov #0070, the FIRST Semi Hollow DC. Yes there maybe one with a lower serial #, but the Semi Hollow was my request. Spruce Top, Trans Black Finish, Mahogany Back and Neck, Ebony Board. Weight: Lite as Air, if you lift the case and don’t think I forgot to put the guitar in it your crazy. Acoustic Voice: Loud at F*ck Neck Carve: Bigger Mirage 1. So full, round, and a more “Modern/Vintage” Feel. Pickups: Gravelin P90’s in a Humbucker Form. Hardware: Nickel Beautiful Natural Tweed Case withe wine interior. The short and the skinny, I hinted at doing a Newport Style Guitar, but Mike wasn’t ready to branch in that direction. So the DC and the Newport had a baby and it is #0070. I used it for two Gigs, I was lucky enough to have received the guitar the day before the band played an album release party for a local act. Plenty of local players and musicians in the room it was a great time. I got to walk this guitar around and put into peoples hands. This one also got a ton of playing time at the 4321 Club where it made an appearance along with 2 other Shishkovs on the same night. It NEVER set in the stand, it got played. Then the band ended, then we started seeing the number of Shishkovs start to slow down, and more and more it sat in the case. The fear of it getting damaged was too much for me. So I have now decided to let this one go, it was my second Shish out of the 4 I was honored to commission. Mike was dream to work with, I was never disappointed in any of the guitars.

I really wanted to catch that show. I love Joe, I’ve seen him live most of the times he has come to Peoria, but I have to be honest I don’t listen to much of his Music. I do love listening to Gov’t Mule and Warren Haynes music and it is always in rotation. I did feel that when JB added Josh to the band he did loosen up a bit. It could just be age, it could just be the band. Also, WHERE DOES WARREN FIND THESE BASS PLAYERS ! They all have been killer and the new guy is insane.

And sold!

I'm waiting for the Youtube vid that compares the pedal to someones home made Quad Cortex or Fractal settings, stating that they can't hear any difference from their digital modeller and the pedal. "It sounds exactly like a pedal modelled after a tube amp, you can't hear any difference at all. And the Fractal is a few grams lighter. So much easier to carry to a gig."

https://reverb.com/item/100479974-robin-rawhide-series-e-06 did not realize that Dave’s also has their inventory on Reverb. definitely a nice piece of ash for the body.

In early 1975 I bought a brand new (1974) Fender Strat. Natural with a maple neck... just like one of Blackmore's. He was my favorite guitarist at the time. I cut grass, shoveled snow, retuned bottles, and saved for a couple years to get it. I did get to see Ritchie with Rainbow and finally with Purple during the Perfect Strangers tour. Glad he patched things up with Ian and the gang.

Very nice.

I'll add Lemon Pledge

This one showed up at my place this morning. I could not pass up the flame maple on Korina and ebony board. It’s a good one.

I really liked the southern Rock Scene! Played a ton of SR at bikers bars and parties!! Good pay! Great Coke! At the parties you had to stay behind the stage. They where really fussy about that. If you weren't a member you did not mingle. They'd come back stage and talk tho. I think the best Southern Rock album ever was Marshal Tuckers "Where We All Belong" there where many, but that's my favorite! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k0xuGf6v8ELDGqAzC0VxEEef90L2ZbZd0&si=-OhRrqJ0fI1VXdU7

Really lovely, Greg. Bonus points for the rear cover being similar to those on early Standards.

Nice snatch, Greg!!

I was going into the 6th grade when, Live in Japan, came out. What a game changer it was for me. Believe it or not, I never learned, "Smoke on the Water." But, within a few years I quit with the organ lessons and started guitar pretty much because of Richie Blackmore. If I had known about Lord and the B3 I may have kept playing the organ but it didn't just seem as cool. Plus my Kimball didn't get that sound. Sad to see Richie (and so many others) getting old and not doing so well. It's quite painful in fact. They were our childhood idols. We wanted to be them. Now their time is up. But, they did it. I never will and it's probably for the best. I'm sure I would have been in the 27 year club. Or I'd be like a few friends who thought they were going to make it. Poured their soul into bands in the Hair Days. One did tour Europe for a few years. Now those guys are maintenance workers at a strip mall and depressed mowing down the Marlborough reds. Jeez, I must have not gotten enough REM last night. I'm feeling off.

Total opposite for me. I hated that shit growing up, well, high school. The backwoods people, fat guts, no shirt, Rebel flags and shotguns in their trucks. Deep brow. Square head. No proper English. Backy-chewin' twang voice. Tearing up fields in their trucks. Drive inn. Always causing fights. I was at a friend's gig in a field somewhere when I was maybe 20, their band wasn't great, but they were the hired band, and a bunch of those fat-belly slobs stormed the stage, took over the instruments, and started playing some sort of redneck Southern Rock. Really pissed us off and nearly caused a ruckus. I don't remember how it ended. I may have gotten in my car and left. I severely hated it. LS, Molly, Black Foot, etc. I mean, it would make me angry. Now I like it. Weird, eh? I mean, I don't blast it from my car like they blasted it from their trucks. But if it comes on a movie score, or I hear it in the grocery, or shows up on YouTube, it's kind of nostalgic. I haven't listened to the radio in 50 years. It was shit then and, if it's still around, I'm sure it's shit now. I don't own any Southern Rock albums / CDs so, that's that. But I keep my cowboy chords up playing Freebird fairly often.
