Re: Sam Ash To Shutdown Remaining Stores

Not my favorite music store in this area but I still hate to see them go out of business. I bought a lot of stuff from them over the years and got some pretty good deals from time to time on the green tag items.

Re: Anyone near Miami? Good deal on a Rivera Suprema

Wow, that is a nice amp but way more than I use there days. Plus it is heavy! I am thinking about going back to a head and cabinet even it adds a trip, each piece is much lighter than my current combo of choice. The problem is the Devilcat Gussie head I am eyeing almost weighs as much as my combo.

Re: New GC direction

I like Sweetwater for on line purchases but GC for in person purchases. I have a guy there that I have been dealing with since before GC came about. He worked at Mars for years and was my guy there. I like for him to get the commissions, he is a friend and he lives in my community. My father always ...

Re: New GC direction

I still have an issue taking an expensive guitar to gigs. I was determined to take my new 335 to gigs but after about 10 I found myself being reluctant again. Now it depends on where we are playing. I had all but abandoned my trusty Goldtop the last couple of years. I took it a couple of weeks ago a...

Re: Whats your' latest gear acquisition?

Yesterday I spent an hour in GC and walked out with a new Cowbell by LP. The one we use for busking is a little large. We needed a medium size Cowbell tone and more of it too!

I could tell it was fake because I zoomed in to find that one of the buttons on the strap was an Truman presidential campaign pin.

Re: A Trip to Antigua

I do not like that finish but I am sure some do. I could never bond with a Strat anyway so it will never be an issue for me. Is it the single coils or the body style/scale length that you don't get on with ? I once put a GFS humbucker pre wired guard into an old cheapo strat and it was fabulously f...

Hotone has been making good stuff for quite awhile. One of my favorite pedals in their mini Blues overdrive. I have put a lot of miles on that thing.

Re: Harmony Juptiter

The pricing seems in line with made in USA guitars. Interesting to see things that were made off shore come back. Gibson is making some Epiphones here. Not sure why anyone would opt for one over a Gibson but they know more about business than I do. I suppose there are some loyal Epi players out there.

Re: Newest Firefly Purchase...Flame Maple Grey Burst DC...P-90s!

I have only owned the one Firefly and I have to admit that after some up grades that thing is one helluva guitar. First there was the Agiles, then the Harley Bentons and now Firefly guitars. All great platforms to mod. I guess I could mention SX and Douglas too. Some of the Agiles were good just the...
