While this is still undoubtedly sad news and everyone who passes deserves to be remembered, is there a specific reason you bumped this obituary thread from 2016?

I got two this morning: 1. The less I'm playing, the more I browse reverb.com 2. If I'm shopping for a piece of gear and I can't make a decision between the alternatives, it means I don't need it that badly.

New strings arrived for my Boden 8. The ones that are on there are still surprisingly fresh given it's almost all I've played for 6 months. I caved and got the recommended strings from Strandberg which are a custom balanced tension set from a collaboration with GHS. Pricier than I would have liked (no free shipping), but looking forward to the string change tho.

Them Crooked Vultures "New Fang" was the last one I listened to. Today it'll be another trip to the BDoMWM:

I never thought I'd say this, but I love playing 8 string guitar.

After geeking out on the Daft Punk stuff on the Tron soundtrack, I stumbled on Dynatron... Also, I'm not generally much of a prog guy, but a bandmate is really into Haken:

To be fair, it is gluten free...

RIP.

Is it with Brent? If so, the video clips should be soon to follow...

I think El was thinking "Chris - I swear I ordered blueburst. Are you sure this one's mine?"

I smell a Shishkov CO coming on...

I agree. Holy sh*tsnacks. Rock that in good health! Edited to add this is one of the only times in my life I've wished I was a lefty at guitar.

I'm with these guys... I wouldn't say yes or no to a guitar just because it's got a figured top. Once it's got a figured top, I judge the top by its own set of criteria, which means it's harder for a figured top guitar to catch my attention than a solid topped one, but still... very do-able.
