    I doubt Dave would ever be able to do edgy or dangerous by himself. Dude's life is just way too fucking good and he enjoys the hell out of it. Dave has been living his best life, probably everybody's best life, for almost 30 years now.
  2. Word. Exactly like a rat rod. But also similar to any type of art, really.
  3. They are consistently the highest selling premium models Fender produces, so there might be more that like relics than don't.

    I remember being angry with Weird Al. We've reconciled since.
  5. Yeah, that deal had zero chance of lasting the time limit. That HP-II was only different from the HPs by having ditched the Tronical tuners, the rest of the guitar is everything Gibson knows about making guitars wrapped up in a modern appearance package (and HP-II's hit the market at $3500 street, not the $3000 MF had stated there). The other deals posted in this thread are good deals, that HP-II one was near robbery. I was scrambling to try and make that work, and I'm not big on that particular fade, but that deal was just too good, the color be damned. But that year Les Paul may go down as the least collectible model year ever, they sold that poorly (hence the market-wide clearances - though none have been as dramatic as that SDofD). However, at that price (MF even followed it up with a Studio HP for the same price, and that's STILL a good deal and that guitar is at least 3 tiers below the LP HP-II!), you'd make money if you ever wanted to sell it, ever. The CASE that guitar comes in will set you back $600 by itself. Stupid deal, indeed.
  6. Holy shit. That's a metric fuck-ton of guitar for that price.

    What's up, mirror universe twin me. I hope you relish in the fact that you were of semi-prime age to have lived and experienced the second greatest mainstream musical transition in the history of our species (nothing will probably ever touch the 50s to 60s period). Lucky you, I mean us. (Had you been just a touch older you might have had the benefit of witnessing, if only as a passing tourist, the sub-cultural shift from punk to rap roughly over a half decade prior which might also have informed your further appreciation of the grunge movement that forced even our beloved country music to adapt in fun, new, and interesting ways before dying a slow and painful death, but we can't all have everything. And besides, we had Tool and Korn to see us through.)
  8. The shows in the OP are from the Platinum Age, and it shits all over the Golden Age.
  9. "c1964....John Cale & Lou Reed. In the early days of the Velvet Underground, John Cale & Lou Reed made extra money entertaining at children's party as Batman & Robin."

    Today is the anniversary of the first single released by Pink Floyd, Arnold Layne (1967). Spin some Relics to celebrate, imo.
  11. Is that armoire from Queen Anne's personal collection?
  12. .
  13. Only vaguely guitar related: So I had a table built. Guy asked what I wanted for the top. I really only know a couple of woods and wood looks and they are all guitar tops. I tell him "flame maple." He asks "WTF is flame maple?" I text him a pic of Slash's guitar. A month later this was delivered. I'm like "Where's the burst, homie?"
  14. "My dad grew up a Jimbo Fisher fan." Lolwut

    Top 5 All Time.
  16. Black. Just like God intended.
  17. Speaking of speakers, I just dropped this into the Princeton RI because I can't sit still.
  18. I wonder what that RI would have sounded like with the worn in speaker from the '67 (original Oxford?) instead of that brand new Jensen.
  19. Check out the '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb. You'll save quite a bit over the '65 RI with the option of the tuned channel in addition to the Blackface channel. It's the best deal Deluxe Reverb going. (The custom channel is a tuned up Bassman stack designed for modern pedal playing.) And it has that sexy sexy drip edge.
  20. Jackson, MS Guitar Center, on multiple visits, had some dudes making me want to pull up a stool and listen.
  21. Probably have people coming in all the time asking to demo a Strymon BigSky, the official reverb of the Southern Baptist Convention.
  22. In unrelated related news, I'm about to restring my M-II with the Floyd Rose. May God be with me in this hour of need. Amen.
  23. The only pic I took at the place was the Ultrafoot I posted in the pedal thread a month or so ago. But, yeah, this place was so stacked they even had an Ultrafoot.
