It's odd, but I've seen a couple. There was a thread about here a while back. I still need to see under there, though.

AS much as I love G&G Cases, it’s been gigbags for Strats and Tele’s for me. What a great long running and storied history.

I went to the Schenkerfest show in Richmond, VA. It was my first time seeing Schenker (or anyone else with him for that matter) and it was excellent. My office was a block away from the venue so I walked around at lunch and saw Steve Mann (Schenker's second guitarist and keys player) out getting his lunch too. All of the singers were good, but Graham Bonnet stood out. Of course I could be biased because Assault Attack is my favorite Schenker album. I'm going to the "Schenker plays UFO" show in September.

Some will swear that this is the right way to string up an Explorer. Funny story (at least to me): My brother's band was playing as CBGB's back around 1981, 82. The guitar player only had one guitar (imagine???), a white/creme '79 Les Paul Custom and asked his brother if he could borrow one of his, as he had several. He ends up borrowing his '76 Explorer (a guitar that I would end up purchasing many years later) which was strung up as above. Somewhere in the middle of their set, Chris (the guitar player, who went by the stage name Ivan D. Terrible Bastard) grabs the Explorer, plugs in and hears it's slightly out of tune. Of course he tries to tune it, but because of the dim stage lighting he can't see that the plain strings are wound "backwards" and keeps trying to tune. It doesn't make sense. The more he tunes it, the worse it gets. Now the crowd at CBGBs is getting a little impatient. This is the punk crowd after all, so I hand him back his Les Paul, which I had tuned up in the interim and he went back about his business. Days later he's telling his brother that "there's something wrong with this Explorer," recounting the tuning issues in front of the crowd and his brother just laughed his ass off.

what an asshole...

Never a solo artist - she was part of a team. No, thank you RRHoF. Carol Kaye Rejects Rock Hall of Fame Induction - Bass Magazine I admire her stance on principle. Interesting insights into her career origins and the industry, as well.

This NEVER would have happened in DOS!

Don't laugh, I've actually seen that happen before in the military, when someone had a flash-bang grenade go off in their hand, to the fingers of one hand. The fingers weren't nearly as well attached as shown in this photo, though. I have no idea what happened once he got to surgery and definitive care afterwards, though.
