Matt Mattson

I agree, extremely creepy and sad. By 50 he should be singing about banging a chick in a Cadillac. What is wrong with people nowadays?

Eye On The Prize

Yes. It's like if you find someone's wallet with $1000.00 in it. It's not yours-it belongs to the person who owns the wallet. "Legally".What wallet? It's a foldable pouch used to carry money. Can be made of leather, nylon, or almost any pliable material and come in a variety of colors.

$2700! Did that T-Shirt come with a woman in it?

I still like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8siLZ4zNbY I'm attracted to video where someone just walks out and busts one out of the park under pressure (he was having some audio problems).

http://www.myspace.com/mattmattson2 I've not done anything with it. The one I do the most with is at the link below:

What I could never figure out back then was which one was "Officiando" and which one was Dawn. Tony I had figured out (but I know now you can never be too sure about that either).

Same top I'm playing except his is worse: and I didn't order anything premium. I'm sure his plays like buttah and all that crap which is why it's for sale.

I passed by Larry Flint's original Hustler Club on my latest trip west and was surprised at how tiny it was. Not even the size of a mid-level Hollywood exec's garage and a real dive from hell. Anyway, for a guy they made so much over, the "elites" could have just ignored him and he probably would have just dried up. As for the magazines -- none. If I see something in one (on the stand) I'm interested in I'll buy it, but most of the time there isn't anything there for me. Some of the DVD issues I've bought and picked up quite a bit from those. Andy (somebody).

This will be in your head after you hear it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8siLZ4zNbY

If there's anything I hate more than F holes, it's guitars with ONE F hole. Agreed. Looks out of balance.

Happy Birthday!

I knew that would bring them out! I'd really like to see proof though . . .

Look closely. I think there's a bulge in that photo. I'd be cautious, "she" might have a dick bigger than you do.

I'm working on the knocking technique and watching all the R.L. Burnside 1 finger mash wup wup doeee I can. Between the two I might finally be playing the damned thing. Chuck Berry does the 1 finger mash stuff a lot as well.

Nice shot. I understand they're all dental technicians.

I know enough about bands to fit in a shot glass, but the above is true.

It's a 76, not ancient by any means, just old and well worn.

I still think it comes back to the old guys of the WWII gen being so good with wood, the best luthier in the world won't help if the guys on the line aren't skilled (mass produced guitars). My dad and his buddies would take 20 foot section of irrigation pipe, knock a hole in it, put a piece of stove pipe in the bottom, a long board in the pipe, cap the ends with a hatchet hole in the ends, put that over a drum of boiling water and steam overnight and you could form that board into a pretzel (the commonly did it for frames). Same techniques they used out in the Pacific when they needed to repair a damaged wing spar. They just seemed to know how to do it by osmosis. Bottom line for me is I have 3 335's. The first was gigged, looks old and beat, sounds absolutely unique. The second was bought as a backup since the first not only looks old and beat, it is old and beat. The third was simply a good price. I took the second and third, adjusted the saddles to the first (micrometer), then played -- similar, no cigar. Then adjusted the intonation to try to duplicate the first -- no cigar. Done a lot of other stuff -- no cigar. So the old saying of no two alike certainly true with my limited exp. of 335s with the old one far exceeding the new. Another thing -- the old guys worked with cassein glue, that's what they liked, it is possible the modern guits are made with epoxy glues that just don't sound the same (transmit vibration to the adjoining wood the same).

Matt, I wasn’t a fan of the relics until I tried several. Some were OK, some were very good, and a few were among the best guitars I have ever played. I like the look of the lightly aged versions. Here are a couple that are phenomenal guitars. The first is a Nash, the second is a Fender with a few custom features – 9 ½” radius neck and big frets. These truly feel old and played-in, though the frets are in perfect condition and the electronics don’t phart out.. I find them more comfortable to play than brand new shiny guitars. I’ll also admit that the look appeals to me. True -- I have no reference since I haven't spent time with one. If we all thought alike it'd be a boring world with only one guitar make and model.

Vintage, antique, collectable, I understand. It's the "relic" market that totally eludes me.

Selfish eco-unfriendly guitar nazis chopping down redwoods -- what! Get the wood police!
