Ditto.

"Can you describe its acoustic voice?" becomes "Can you describe the sound of the sound?"

And thank goodness for that. What other brand name do you want on the case when you take your nice guitars out of the house, to keep thieves' interest unstimulated?

Amen, brother!

Barbaro!

It's The Resistance.

For me it's tied with the studio version of "Come Together." Gonna break out my Live/Bootleg now. I want to hear "Back in the Saddle."

Dang, I guess you'll have to build another one now.

Ditto, and welcome!

Known for his Space Pants.

Looks like Modern Vintage to me. You got your cloth insulation, you got your PVC insulation... You sold me a T-51. Now you bought this. You must really want it. Dig in!

News I hate to read. I'm way too much of a newcomer to fully appreciate the OG days - looking back, it kind of seems like a place where the smoke was clearing from some major fracas when it turned up as I was researching a recent guitar purchase and decided to start following the current threads rather than just the posts that Google presented to me. I knew I had missed out on some shit, and I also knew that there were some tight bonds among the folks here. Nicely done, Kizanski. And Ed/Jay, know that you have made a mark on this world, and that's not something the great majority do. Go in peace.

I'm hoping that she is blissfully unaware that there is a subset of men who would be glad to obtain some used ladies' shoes regardless of size, so that she won't diminish your advantage in the marketability area.

Not new, but new to me. Wife just showed me. Yeah, it's only drums, but cut him some slack.

Can't play in the New Guitars 2023 thread. I did rearrange my empty case storage from horizontal to vertical this year, though.

Does a strat with a swimming pool route count as semi-hollow?

Driving with my wife in her car yesterday, and her radio station is of course no longer playing Christmas music 24/7. I accidentally heard some Starship. Now I'm afraid nothing's gonna stop the sound in my head.

Back when this came out, my friends and I would have said it's because of the keyboards.

Wishing you all the best! #18

Today's stupid deal from Musician's Friend is presenting me with new things. The only material I recognize is maple: Ibanez guitars have become a strong name in metal guitars for their outstanding playability and performance. With selected materials and high-profile electronics and hardware, every detail is deeply considered and designed. The Ibanez High Performance series delivers high-end performance and road warrior dependability. The Ibanez RGAR42HP features a nyatoh body, creating a mesmerizing visual aura and a warm, expressive tone. This Ibanez model’s contoured top not only looks sleek, it creates a softer, more comfortable edge where the player’s right forearm rests. A roasted maple neck has been heat-treated to increase the wood’s stability and durability, providing a well-balanced note attack and tone with rich sustain. The Ibanez RGAR42HP also boasts a jatoba fretboard with jumbo frets that offer effortless fingering up and down the full length of the fretboard. In addition, the fretboard has luminescent side dot position marks to make it easy for players to see fretboard position when performing on dark stages.

The box from Musician's Friend came, after the Memorial Day sale decision that may or may not have been fueled by beer. The Yamaha Reface YC keyboard is in there, cool. Organ noises on deck. And look, they threw in some picks! How did they know? Now where are those MIDI cables? Oh... picks instead of MIDI cables. No bueno. TIme to call India, where they can't send me cables, but they can refund my cable money and ask if they can take a re-order over the phone. No, thank you.

I enabled and it feels so good! A work buddy asked what I thought of a Deluxe ASAT Special - apparently Sweetwater had a deal that called to him. I gave a thumbs-up for G&L quality, and his guitar arrived today and he is blown away with it, flat-out love at first... whatever.
