Yeah, and all because of Chinese demand for rosewood furniture. Which is ironic, as China doesn't give a rat's ass about CITES or any other international regulations. When Mexican Cocobolo hit the list, they just bypassed the legit cocobolo suppliers and go straight to the cartels. Same thing...

It most definitely COULD have been better. They could have written the rules properly 3 years ago when this shit all came up in the first place. People have been howling about this for the last couple of years, and the committee knew full well they forces a massive regulatory apparatus into...

Peanut butter, actually. The hippie girls always had the BEST bread and that natural organic peanut butter. it was seriously hard times. I was paying for college and on too tight a budget and too proud to ask for help. I was stupid as a 19 year old.  I literally couldn't afford to eat the last...

I was thinking of Clapton's biography. He'd pretty much retired at that point. But in the book he was thinking about one or two last hurrahs because he had discovered how much he loved vacationing on yachts. One more tour and that's it sort of statements, and he did one tour after that.   But...

Clapton must be needing to make more yacht payments.

I bought a 98 artist by accident earlier this year, else I would have been seriously tempted. Artists are total sleeper guitars, probably second to the Eclipse. Meant to flip mine, but it's too good a guitar and I keep playing it.  First world problems.

Fair warning -- nothing in this post is relevant to anything, so you might just skip it. Nah, I'm good. Finding friends is way too much work. I tried.  Hard. For years.  Seriously. I currently have almost none. And none who can play music with me, for various reasons. Having to do with me in...

Hey, it isn't my style, but it's still a damned good song: And I'm not joking. It is great in its genre, well written, well produced, catchy melody, and was a massive hit in adult contempo. I appreciate everything about it. Even more now that I see him light the damned cigar first! That...

This was my buddy's: I capped it and put in some decent tubes and it sounded fantastic. Good enough I cloned it a couple of times -- this was 19 years ago -- and I still play one of my clones more than almost any amp I have.

That gold on gold is kind of overkill. It looks like the bentley a stereotypical Arab oil tycoon might drive in a movie from the 80s. Mostly, my only gripe about gold hardware is the plating always seems to tarnish quicker than chrome and looks fugly when it does.

My buddy had an original 55 tweed deluxe. I revived it for him and he carried it with him everywhere he'd go to jam. His main amp was a Rivera era Concert, which was a great amp. But the thing outweighed the Deluxe by 50-60 pounds so it stayed at home.

The problem with this logic is that  the Neil Young worshipping set is getting older as fast as we are. It's not an age thing, it's a generational thing. And there has never been a more generationally narcissistic bunch than Boomers are with the music they loved in 1972. I could rant for pages...

Wait -- so who still posts on the gear page?  And why? Are you the same sorts who constantly fight about politics on the facebooks? Or do you miss your days of cliquish high school social woes? That place made reddit look reasonable, and I don't think I've seen it outside of a search engine...

Yeah, and that was a whole lotta thinline, as well. Regardless if the name on the headstock. You could spend $1500 putting together a warmoth guitar with similar specs.
