1) Life is short, 2) Because it makes you happy, 3) Because you can 🤷‍♂️

To a non player someone that has many guitars seems excessive. This was expressed to me that I was a guitar hoarder. I explained to them I am not. First I let them know that I've been playing guitar for over 60 years. So some of them are sentimental, like my Bruno Conquerer that I played my first gig with at 12 years old doing my best to sound like Jimmy Hendrix. On a hollow body Bruno and a Monkey Wards Tube amp. Then I continued that I had probly owned 100's of guitars and these that I have had something special. Be it the tone the way they played, they where just better than the others that got moved along. Then came the "Why do you need a $5000.00 Dollar Guitar" I explained that I wanted to try it too see what all the fuss was about(Novo Miris J). Well it's gonna stay and Now I'm going to buy a Novo Serrus J. Why??? Because I can! My daughter inlaw just shook her head and left. She'll really never understand. But she gets that I'm not getting rid of any. Just adding! Any one else get the Why do you need so many Question?

Vintage Carve neck! 0.89" 1st fret / 0.93" 12th fret. Almost exactly 8.0 lbs.

Here's the listing for that guitar from the actual owner/store: https://guitarbuyermasuda.com/products/107477489?_pos=1&_sid=f8bd074d0&_ss=r The ebay seller does not own the guitar and is charging about a 20% premium. The store that has it, I believe, will ship this to the US (I'm pretty sure I've conversed with the store in the past). If so, you're probably looking at around $2,200 all in, including shipping and tariffs.

Alex, the answer is "what is scatology?"

Apologies to Mr. Wyse for botching both his first name and the spelling of his last name. What the heck was Google thinking? It was definitely referencing the same person because all the band references were the same. At any rate, an impressive talent. Really enjoyed that.

Probably because the nut isn't cut properly.

Couldn’t agree more. I have 3 of them, a tropical turquoise, a sunburst thinline, and now the Dakota red. The TT is easily my most played guitar.

Chris Wyse. He's played for a gazillion people, including Mick Jagger and Ozzy. He was playing with The Cult when I saw them back in 2006.

Not bad. I’m a longtine Motörhead fan

Well put. It doesn't think, but it can do the searches you allude to incredibly fast and summarize results. The problem, of course, is the old Garbage In, Garbage Out risk of all computer processing. If all the search results it compiles were posted by idiots, the output will be idiocy. AI has great potential, but taking the next step of considering and maybe discounting the source will be harder than just scouring the web.

Here's a new one. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1664360981424728

I've seen some pretty bad ones on Facebook, but this guy is far beyond what I usually see. These are accounts entirely built on getting clicks. It's possible that it's just stolen content, which is all over facebook. I mean, they are humorous, but I really hope that people aren't actually paying money for them to wreck their guitars. Seriously, "secret pick holder"??? What the hell is secret about that???

Jeezuz could you guys stop posting Brent videos?

I love my Hamers, but EJ Strat is absolutely best in the Strat category, especially the early ones.

Bugs have nothing to do with it.

Just wow!😳

😂

Can provide other photos if someone wants.

After purchasing and playing around with a couple Fractal units for a bit, I found I just don't care for their user interface or editing software, so I'll move them along. Fractal FM3 + FC6 - includes Faslink cable to connect them In original boxes inside the shipping boxes. Like new condition and reset to factory state, only got them out to try them etc. Will put a couple photos in. Most recent sale of both on Reverb is $1400, I'll take $1250 Paypal FF plus actual shipping Fractal AM4 with power supply Also in original box in shipping box. Again, basically in like new condition, except for the original owner replaced the Level knob with a detented knob so it doesn't move unless you want it to. Original knob is in the box. Just tried it at home. This one I did buy used, so just want back what I have in it. I did create two patches each with 4 scenes, a Fender and a Marshall. I'll leave them on there. $550 Paypal FF plus actual shipping If someone's interested in picking it up and is in the vicinity, I'd be glad to meet up somewhere. I'm about an hour north of Baltimore and a little over 90 minutes west of Philly. Thanks, Scott

Put me down as being into the Hollywood Vampires because of Alice Cooper and Joe Perry. 50 years ago who could have predicted them being in a band together?

Ladies and gentlemen, a guitar forum discussing the vagaries of the English language. What sort of nonsense is bringing etymology into a discussion? 🤣 A few, but this one would still exist.

I prefer crowns...
