I recently got an LPS - it’s my first ever p90 equipped guitar, and it’s a ton of fun to play, stays in tune really well, and aside from the more noticeable hum, it’s a great guitar. The selector switch seemed loose, so I popped the plate off the back, and the first thing I notice is the the...

sweet, sweet top on that one - you've got a real looker there! HNGD -

Wow - that blue really pops! Congrats on the new guitars!

fine looking R8 you have there - I think that the plain tops are just wonderful! Enjoy the new fiddle, and if it sounds as good as it looks, it's a win all around!

fantastic looking guitar - thanks for sharing!

They did - I grew up just outside the cities, and spent my formative years listening to KQ92 - that was the soundtrack to my teen years!

Our seats were on the floor, center aisle, row 24…reasonably close to the center of the floor area. With fees and surcharges, we paid $124 per ticket. I am certain that there were seats in the $60 range - One thing I’ll share? JB’s merch team was tightly organized and über-efficient. Shirts...

@grimlyflick , those are handsome amps! If they sound as good as they look, watch out!

Texxas Jam...wow, I went to a few of those! Hot, sweaty days at the Cotton Bowl, and they were cooling the crowd with fire hoses...but I didn't have the...um..."assets" that the fire hose guys were looking for. I was lucky enough to work in the radio business for nearly 20 years as my day gig -...

IMHO, you're absolutely correct - Trower plays so loud that you can feel it in your gut, but it's not deafening or painful, and man, does he put it all out there - I've only seen him twice, but it was worth it both times!

My wife surprised me with Bonamassa tickets for my birthday - obviously she's aware of my appreciation of his music. So on Tuesday we went to the show here in Rochester, Minnesota. All I can say is wow - he put on a show that lasted nearly two and a half hours, and it was as tight as it was...

I've got a '96, and mine weighs just over 12lbs - its the heaviest LP that I've ever owned or played. Couldn't tell you if the tenon is long or short, but I can say with confidence that the guitar sounds fantastic, and plays as well as any I've ever played. Mine is a player, not a collector, and...

welcome to the forum - I suspect that you're going to get more than a few requests for pics. Hard to offer anything helpful without some insight into what you're looking at.

I've been a fan since I first heard him, and I often enjoy the interviews and clips that have been posted. He seems interesting, passionate, and he speaks to my inner guitar nerd. Like many have said, I'd love to have 1/100th of his talent - he's clean, articulate, and plays with complete...

I had a Dr. Z maz18 2x10 combo with red tolex that had some sort of magic in it. I sold it after a divorce left me poor, thinking I’d just replace it once I was on my feet again. Since then I’ve had two other maz18’s, a Cure, and a Carmen ghia - and none of them had the same mojo. That red one...
