Fuck mandating density. Let the market absorb what it wants. Just cut the damn cost.

If you really want to help housing prices, not only let them in but encourage migrants to come in to build them. Outlaw all sales taxes on all building materials in the supply chain. Force municipalities to cap building and utility fees and subsidize them with general funds. And cut all income taxes on gains on land sales to home builders and apartment developers. Treat all investments in new housing and apartments like opportunity zones. Don’t just give people money. Cut the god damn cost.

Those westerly Guilds look interesting though

No one just listens to Eruption without You Really Got Me after. Fail.

So it’s interesting, well maybe only to me, but I use LR Baggs Anthem pickups in the acoustics I play live with. They have an under saddle pickup and a microphone in the body and you can blend between the two. What I’ve learned, which I guess shouldn’t be a shock, is that you have to start with really good sound coming out of the guitar for it to sound good mic’d and plugged in. My Larrivee 0M3 sounds fantastic as does my 2004 Taylor 810CE (trashed the stupid Taylor system for the Anthem). Those are obviously all wood guitars. I bought a cheaper Taylor 214 which is laminate. $900 factory blem which per usual you can’t see anywhere with the naked eye. Nothing in the world wrong with that guitar in terms of playability and sound, until you put it next to a guitar that “really” sounds good. I can hear the difference and you can really hear it when amplified. As a result it didn’t end up becoming the gigging beater I was hoping for. I wonder about that with the knock off guitars.

Saw this as well. Where would one even get such a thing? Did he save that from the 70s?

I guess I was thinking Gibson. $5700 for a basic j200 on Sweetwater.and can go up substantially from there. Maybe I’ll look at the knockoffs.

For the love of God just no

I love the idea of a jumbo. The cost is stupid though.

Never really thought about OM style acoustics until I bought the Larrivee. Now I love it. Not as loud as my dread but more tight and punchy. Sounds fantastic plugged in. That said I do want another dread soon. Kind of want a hummingbird I think. But who knows.

I specifically didn’t buy the Denali version of my truck because I didn’t want the 22s. The 20s I have seem to ride ok. But I agree on 18s.

I did. Holy shit.

Edit: Internet says it was Armored Saint. The Arcadia was great. Saw many shows there too back in the day. Wasp. The Cult on Love tour. Hard to remember them all now.

Yes and I don’t remember.

I know this is in jest but do not do this. Asshole dad of a very good buddy of mine in elementary school didn’t like the dirtbike kid riding in the vacant land behind their house. So he strung wire across it. Dirtbike kid died and dad went to prison. True story.

Solid. Loved the bronco bowl back in the day. Saw many shows there but I missed that one. I did see them the year before at the Arcadia theater on Greenville. No ticket to show though.

Iron Maiden is the band Metallica wishes they could be. And I love Metallica.

My 2022 mid year refresh Sierra shows nothing. Maybe I’m good?

Ah. I was not meant to understand it. Now get it.

How can you tell?

I don’t understand this

Holy shit at those costs. This is just runway government at work. Serves those liberal commie bastards right for not controlling their wasteful spending and gouging the man who is trying to save this country. I wouldn’t pay those fuckers either. I mean, that’s just good business.

I have a 22 Sierra with the 6.2. Should I be worried about this fuckery?

And this is where you end up

Cali coming strong
