Re: On A Mission To Bring hbowner/vesa Back Here

Who thumbs downed this? Lol I think @mickey might have had some friction with hbowner at the very end when he requested to be banned. No, I always felt y'all were taking advantage of a mentally retarded guy & it never seemed right to me. Just my 2 cents. In all seriousness, I don't believe he i...

On A Mission To Bring hbowner/vesa Back Here

Not too long ago [mention]SalteeDog[/mention] mentioned the Harley Benton forum and how he saw hbowner/vesa over there. I had forgotten that there was a Harley Benton forum. So this morning I went over to The Harley Benton Club and joined the forum. Please don't think of it as cheating on ya'll or a...

Re: NGD-Gibson SG 70's Tribute (I did a bad thing)

Beautiful Gibby! How are the fret ends? Myself and others here have Gibson SG Tributes with very sharp fret ends. Mine is a 60s tribute and I like it very much, though only after I got the fret ends smoothed. Regarding the pickguard, I say none. I like the stripped down look. HNGD! Must be they do ...

Re: Weirdest toggle switch placement in history

I'm trying rationalize the possible justification for that design selection. The way the edge of the body is routed likely prevented them from putting the output jack there, so that had to be placed at the top. Where they did put the output jack is where the toggle usually is on a guitar configured ...

Re: PRS SE General Observations

It's often said that PRS guitars are lifeless, and I've gotta say that I don't totally disagree with that. Most that I've played don't have that open, airy, breathy, alive sound t...

Yeah, listening to the isolated guitar track is an great exercise. The tones and arrangement ate classy, especially the tone on the solo!

Re: And This Why The Car's Elliott Easton Is a Frickin' Genius

Easton is a GREAT guitar player...I’ve always liked him. I’m also fascinated by New Wave guitar playing...its it’s own thing...you can’t overshadow the vocals and synth, and sometimes it’s aggressive, but not metal or overly bluesy at all. Definitely punk, yet subdued. I love it. Listen to the guit...

Re: And This Why The Car's Elliott Easton Is a Frickin' Genius

I did read once people who saw them back in the day said it was the most boring concert they ever saw, the band just stood there and played but did every hit exactly note for note like the radio. This live performance from 1978 is pretty compelling. Great charisma and musicianship. https://youtu.be...
