  1. I took Joe B’s virtual tour that he had online. An incredible display of extremely valuable gear.
  2. Nah, the guy is a pro, like really a professional. I don’t think a half dozen frames making fun of aggy could slow him down at all.
  3. Well, it appears we are going to find out. Longhorns will show up and do our best to give as good as we get.,.we ain’t aggy.
  4. I would say Carolina and Georgia are not that far behind.
  5. While looking for the other pic I found this. If you don’t know it is a Dan Armstrong acrylic. Richards played one at Altamont. He loved em, but apparently they didn’t stay in tune well enough to tour with.
  6. For those interested. I found a good photo of what Tom Murphy is trying to duplicate so far as checking. This is what that condition looks like when it occurs naturally. Though I think it looks best on a gold top. Ironically this look that everyone seems to appreciate was a mistake to begin with. Gibson simply made mistakes with their finishing materials.
  7. That is nothing but Finebuam’s acknowledgement of something you can’t stop. He will need access to both schools, he ain’t about to shit on them.
  8. Hell, he was probably briefed on the move long ago.
  9. So the ESPN story posted says a source confirms that the negotiations have been on going for six months…….without consulting aggy. That has to hurt.
  10. The root cause of aggy frustrations is the simple fact, that when the big boys want to make a deal……they bring something to the table. Mostly money and tradition…that includes actually winning something significant in ones lifetime. So it isn’t so much a shadow they lived under……they just have very small penises.
  11. It is because they don’t want to report what the Cuban government is doing to those they hold accountable for the uprising.
  12. On no! I didn’t mean for you to try it! Only a good luthier should attempt such repairs. I just happen to have one who can handle this with no problem. But not me, fuck no.
  13. George Nakashima was an artist at it. It is where I first saw the technique. Google him. I bought a dining table from him in the early 70’s. His shop was in Pennsylvania and had several hundred of some very rare woods you could pick from. He told us he needed a way to save extremely expensive hard woods that were bumped in shipping or handling.
  14. The tools are simple. A damp cloth, a standard clothing iron and a metric ton of balls to touch that hot bastard against a valuable instrument. Done correctly you won’t be able to ever see the damage. Does require a deft touch however.
  15. I only asked out of curiosity. It is a nice example. You probably already know this. But, should you find the mark bothersome at some point. It appears small enough that it can be very easily be steamed out by a quality luthier.
  16. Explain the red circled area Bogey…just a nick, or is it a crack?
  17. Interesting. Most I encounter feel we will be better simply because we jettisoned Tom.
  18. Your “R” will not lose value. You could strip it’s electrics and case candy and still get $4500. I have bought and sold guitars for a long fucking time. A LP with a figured flame top will make people write bad checks.
  19. The reflector ties it together nicely.
  20. Yes, I have a wonderful luthier I let look at every guitar I buy or sell. You would be surprised how many people play poorly set up guitars.
  21. So you went with this rather then the R9?
  22. Put those two boys to work, you drink beer on the porch….profit…
