  1. I think so too. You have to believe he is sitting on some great stories.
  2. Let’s see. Shit ton of Super Bowls, super model wife, money is never going to be a concern for generations…..Why would you doubt his success at anything he takes seriously? Besides, if he wasn’t doing the TV gig. I’m sure there are many organizations that would gladly pay top fucking dollar just to hear him speak.
  3. You think of Mustaine when you think of an acoustic guitar player? Mustaine…..really?
  4. Now I’m staring at the damn screws…
  5. You really can’t improve that.
  6. These type of places are in my wheelhouse. Love them all…
  7. Is that yours? That really sucks…
  8. Oh, I don’t disagree with you about the early LP’s. But, If you asked me what are they worth to me? Nothing north of $5k. At best it is in the $3500 to $5000 range. And that’s with provenance. There are simply far to many in the market to demand such high numbers. The only exception would be a real find that was in mint shape, included the original sales receipt, and all case candy that was original. Sure, such an example would bring far more.
  9. I have never owned one under 10 lbs. but, I’m one of those tin foil hat guys who think that the weight has something to do with the sound. Could I tell the difference in a blind test? Probably fucking not.
  10. Never mind, I just remembered your post..
  11. That is possible I guess. Though you can find that same crazy ass pricing on a number of online sites, including Norman’s and Carter’s.
  12. I believe they are. This is a good example. Look at the values of either a Norlin (70-85) built LP, or a CBS built Fender (66-86). No one I deal with wants either. why? They are not the same quality as those that came before or after. No longer made by artisans, but by machines. You should be able to grab one from those years for $900 tops. Yet, look for a 69 LP on Reverb and look what they are asking. Like I said, it’s only redeeming quality is…….it’s old.
  13. What I hate most is the failure of people to recognize that just because it’s old, don’t mean it’s good. Guitars are unlike any other thing I collect. If one buys a high end Leica film camera like a single stroke M3, you still pay top dollar. But a Topcon from the same year…$35.00. Same with watches. A 1969 Daytona Rolex is going to be expensive. A Timex from the same year, fuck who knows, $5.00? Guitars, the entire landscape changes. If it is from yesteryear, you pay premium, even if it is shit. This phenomenon is particularly true when fucking around with early LP’s. Yeah, they’re old. But most have problems, and don’t sound particularly great. Remember, those prior to 57 didn’t have the Seth Lover PAF pickups. Yet, a asking price of $45,000 is not uncommon……fuck that. It’s just old..
  14. Thank you for that. It was fun looking at all of them..
  15. But, it looks like you could. That last bit of fret probably brings the growl..
  16. That is some real imagination at the bottom four frets.
  17. Does anyone in the Russian army have a uniform that actually fits?
  18. Eric Quincy Tate….Texas Sand.
  19. If you are studying how Spielberg or Hitchcock’s films were made, you will at some point mention Hanks or Cary Grant. You may not study them, or know what they accomplished, but you know the names. Famous directors or producers are linked at the hip by the famous actors that stared in their finest films. So, to the original point. If you’re old enough to attend a college level course on film study, you should at least be aware of Flynn.
  20. Bullshit. Flynn made multiple movies with Michael Curtiz. Both Robin Hood and Charge of the light brigade would have been covered in any filmmaking curriculum. Therefore one should at the very least know Flynn’s name.
  21. That is a super clean design. Shame you have to cover it up…
  22. Sorry, would have responded earlier, but ironically I was on the road to Carter’s. Something new? Probably Sweetwater or a local mom and pop. Used? I just drove into Nashville. I still like to touch what I buy. Though I admit, I throughly enjoy browsing the listings on Reverb, eBay, etc. Selling? I tend to farm that out. I’ve been in the business a long time. I no longer care to go through the mechanics of selling.
