    My Friend The Noodle Shamer

    I'm a noodler too, but definitely can't hold my own in a band. :naughty:

    Growling From My Bedroom Closet?

    I didn't read the entire thread, but the OP reminds of me a of a similar situation. A few years ago my wife and I (and our 2 cats) were sitting in the bedroom talking on the bed, when we heard an out of the blue crash of thunder. It was the loudest I've ever heard, and there was no rain so it...

    Guitar Of The Future Here Now?

    And that says a lot. I feel the same way about the guitar in the OP. Lot's of people might rave about the concept, but few would buy it, imo.

    Really coming along nicely!

    Now That I Have Everything For My Studio..i Got Nothin..

    I never gigged but I totally relate to a lot of things people are talking about in this thread. One thing I have trouble with is staying interested as I get older. I play for a few months regularly, then not at all for a few months. Seems like I enjoyed playing the most when I was in my late...

    Amp For An Apartment

    ^This was gonna be my suggestion as well. I don't have one, but the one I tried out sounded amazingly good to me. I'm probably gonna eventually get one myself, in fact.

    My New Guitar Project

    I always liked Carvins, sed to really drool over them as a teenager in the 70's. I've never seen one in person though. That one is a beauty, I bet with the Bare Knuckle PUs it will finally sing/scream. :)

    15 Watts Just Won't Do...

    Either way I'd be wearing ear plugs in this situation for sure. I think you have the right idea about powering up, don't wanna be struggling to stay in the mix. :)

    Ngd - Mexi Strat In Candy Apple Red

    Sweet Strat. Honestly, I don't think you really got the short end of the deal, that LP was pretty beat looking with that uber relic job on the back. I doubt you would've been able to sell it for much more than the Strat is worth, especially with all the upgrades it has. I love MIM Strats...

    Anyone Age Or Relic A Guitar Some?

    That Strat is a beauty, I like it just the way it is, personally. I think it will be damm shame if you relic it, especially as it's fairly unique guitar.

    Late 70's Strats??

    No, you're absolutely right. I didn't mean to imply all 70's Strats were crap, because that certainly wasn't the case. In fact I think a lot of them were probably very nice guitars. But as said, there were many duds. Especially the late 70's ones I've seen - always crude looking and heavy...

    Late 70's Strats??

    In response to people saying that great music was made on 70's Strats I'd agree, but.. you can't really compare the guitars famous (and wealthy) rock star types were playing to the off-the-shelf version a normal person would buy. I have no doubt their stuff (amps, too!) were really almost custom...

    Late 70's Strats??

    I agree with the people that think the CBS Strats were mostly junk. I had a '79 (3 bolt neck) for a while and it was HEAVY, and fit and finish were pretty poor, honestly. In fact all the other ones I've seen from that era at 2nd hand shops have been the same way. Modern Strats absolutely blow...

    So I Got Laid Off...

    A degree is almost a must these days. I work p/t in retail, and seeing people that are in their 50's and 60's in that business is a very sad thing. Terrible pay and lack of benefits makes surviving extremely difficult. They spend their lives struggling with no security and age just making things...

    Song I Wrote About Being Down And Broke

    Nice playing, like the solo in particular. :)

    Steve Stevens Is Friggin Amazing!

    I've always liked him too. Like was said in the OP, he was very innovative but didn't overload his solos with unneeded, over-the-top wankery. Very melodic player, too. So yeah I guess I'd have to say, he's probably one of my favorite guitarists. :)

    My Gibsons Enjoying A Day Off On The Rack.

    Nice. Hey if your Jr decides it needs more than a day off - say a vacation - send her my way. :wub2:

    Sounds like he got exactly what he deserved.

    Do these work for tube amps only?

    Ngd About 2 Months Late

    Wow I'm seriously in love with that guitar, beautiful! Love the body contours and that black finish is gorgeous.
