Bolt-on neck? This is as good looking an SG as they come. If it was a steal, that makes it all the better. When I saw the headstock (before reading your post), I was expecting a LP-shape with the four controls in a row and possibly some interchangeable sound modules or built-in effects.

So, who owns the song? The band for writing it OR the event as they were the catalyst for the band to congregate and write?

This used to be an issue in the old (and then new) Ritz in NYC. Some of the metal bands played at arena volume in a room where you could effectively sound great in with a decent bar band setup. I feel like it did some damage to my hearing when I was in high school. When I saw Chuck Berry there...

Ima bend the timeline, but on Tuesday as 8 was driving home from work, a demo version of Zeppelin’s In the Light, titled “Everybody Makes It Through (In the Light) came up from a playlist generated by Apple from a random song request I made. Hadn’t heard it previously that I could remember, but...

Love that about guitars. Basically the same specs barring inlay shape, a paper thin veneer, and different finish, yet they can sound (and even feel) quite different. Is this a thing for horn players? Or is metal more consistent?

My closest to "worst" has been merely disappointing. We've seen DMB a ton of times and what makes it worth it is that they never play the same exact set twice. However, that makes seeing them a crapshoot from a song selection perspective. We're at about 48 shows and I've been unenthusiastic...

I hear you, but I also realize that it's not for us to decide what entertainment and escapism is enjoyed by others. Personally, I don't mind comic books or the characters, but admittedly all of my favorites aren't of the superhero variety. The movies are fine bits of escapism, or at least they...

Massive bummer. Excellent writer, great player, and phenomenal singer. Kept meaning to go see him live, but life always got in the way. Too young, but musicians need to steer clear of motorcycles and private planes. That he's left behind a three year old kid makes it even more tragic.

Was hoping to catch Dylan again this year and he's doing two dates at Wolf Trap, but we'll be in NY for a family gathering. Julian Lage is one of the two new guitarists in his band (or so it seems). The version we saw in April was great, but Julian is a stellar player and I recommend anyone...

I'm definitely digging it, but... ...in the long run I think I'd have greater appreciation of the classic style.

Would you go for the traditional Firefly Mad Cat or the purple version?

My issue with the Spurs is they are the opponent and that Wemby is a dirty player that has been allowed to get away with anything he wants. The league has changed so much since 1994, but his style of play is nasty (bad nasty). It disrespects the game and his opponents. I can handle losing...

Shoulda nabbed one of these when they were available. I went searching for one and people are trying to sell used ones for up to $500. I found a forum where someone had purchased the Firefly and the Eastwood. The Firefly looks so much better. The Eastwood Mad Cat body is slightly off. Prolly...
