This one will get played; I already have an artist ultimate that is a "white gloves only" guitar (sounds great, don't want to beat it up). Certainly won't throw it down the stairs like my parts teles, but it represents the guitar I always wanted so it will get played. Just have to figure out how to work it into a country band (I could always get away with it in the Irish band just because of the color).

Hmmm...well, Ireland IS a country. Does that count as "Country"?

Or else you have a time machine!

You can work it into a country band by playing it with your country band.

I'm the tele guy in the band; if I switch to anything but a tele I get the stinkeye from the boss (and we morph from a half-ass country band to a half-ass rock band lol).

So it's brah-country then?

oh f-ck no. this is a no-bro country band. We cover Dale Watson's "Country My Ass" and mean it. We hate modern country for the most part; if it's on CMT we don't play it. We aim more for Austin than Nashville...

I'll baby and give it's due respect, yet play it as much as possible. So, there should be something in between. I'd select that.

That dilemma is a big reason why I don't buy new guitars. I would hate to be the one that dings a new one up, but if I buy it that way I don't feel bad about putting new wear and tear on it.

Somebody needs to invent a protective plastic covering for the pointy bits. Kind of like a pocket protector for guitar nerds.

The concept has been... explored (pun accepted)...

Not sure what deal bluesman Lonnie Brooks had with them, but I saw him regularly in the late 80's and he always had one on! Even has one on this live album cover!

He had the only Les Paul version I ever saw.

Their new tagline: "Now you can play your guitar like having sex with a condom on."

I might do with my Shishkov like I do with my Mayday-V. I often use it as my backup and always play one or two songs with it... unless I'm going to play at an "unsafe" place --in that case the Hoyer family takes the whole load.
