Equinox

He couldn't take the length.

I thought I'd chronicle my fail-trip in an attempt to make myself feel better. The following images are not the actual pieces I saw. I drove from Odessa to Abilene for a 7 on 7 football tournament. I had made loose plans to possibly go to either DFW or Austin on a gear hunt, if we didn't make the qualifying round. And we didn't, so I chose DFW and hit the road. Things I'm really interested in finding right now- Les Paul Junior, single p90, wrap around bridge/tailpiece, tobacco sunburst. In the $600-&700 range. PRS SE Singlecut, black, p90s. Epiphone "Inspired by 1955" Les Paul Custom with p90s, satin black. Marshall Class 5 combo, simply because I used to have one and wish I had kept it. Anything else that piques my interest.... I first went to Denton to check out a couple of the pawn shops. Didn't find much, but in the process I discovered Sky Guitars. Very cool place and nice folks. They had a pretty cool LP Special (2 p90s and TOM bridge) but it was in TV yellow and that ain't my thing. Also had a PRS SE Tremonti that was marked $279 (steal) but it had a pretty good sized ding on the top. So I bought a couple of packs of strings and left. Next drove to Guitar Center Dallas Central Expressway. They had the Epi Les Paul Custom in stock and it was marked down $120. Checked it out, but it just didn't grab me by the booboo. Pass. They also had a very cool Telecaster MIJ Fotoflame that was in great shape for $550. ^^^That's the closest image I could find of one. These things are getting more and more collectible apparently, going for $850- $900 on Reverb. I had one way back when and it was cool. This one however did not have the chunky neck like the one I had owned previously. Tempting, but pass. Next to Sam Ash down the street. They had a very cool Epiphone Brent Hinds (Halestorm) Flying V that was marked down from $799 to $599. ^^^ not the actual guitar I saw. It had a small ding on the bottom side, otherwise in brand new condition. I'll own another V one day, but not this day. So I wandered around to the amp section, and holy shit- Marshall Class 5 combo, and it's in cream! $375 on the tag. Good price. I turned it on and piddled with it for a while, and then left it on longer while I stood and stared at it. Piddled some more, beat on it to see if it made any weird noises, etc. Nothing. Seemed to be in good shape. Should I buy it? Yes? No? Do I need it? Yes? No? It's getting late, and I need to decide. In the end, Like a mature adult I talked myself out of it. As I was driving west on 635 I kept thinking go back, get it. But I didn't. Wound up getting home at 3am, wondering why I even made the trip. So yesterday morning I checked Reverb for Class 5 combos and found a mint unit in black for $300 plus shipping. Drank a cup of coffee and took a quick shower, then checked the listing again. Gone. Fuck. So that was my fail trip. Excuse me ladies while I go kill myself.

Is this the new "what will I tell my children" thread from the Shag?

Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey?

Bring those canuckleheads on. We'll crush 'em.

I love the first two albums.

I discovered Sky Guitars in Denton today. They had a few of the Parallel Universe models there, along with other cool stuff. Nice people. I'd never heard of the place.

Negged for the millionth uncreative "but troll". Get some new material. I didn't actually neg you.

You mean they won't take a cue from Hillary Clinton and smash them all up?

Jorts.

Welcome to Surly Horns.

Exactly.

Is this something that has come up in the past couple of years? Seems like they've been talking about Medicare and Social Security being in trouble since I can remember.

Trump fucked her!

Fuck anyone who is trying to refer to the Philthadelphia Fecals as America's Team. Fuck you with extreme prejudice.

This.

So Trump has continued Obama's good work. What are you bitching about again?

Ima wait til Roseanne and Samantha Bee weigh in on this.

Samantha Bee wants to bang her too.

Accurate.

Naw man. There would have been dancing in the streets in joyous celebration.

The Russians are holding her hostage.

She's president of my poop!
