I need to thin the herd but the thought of packing a guitar for shipment gives me anxiety and the thought of selling it to a local store or GC for 40% of what I could get in direct sell makes me angry

I do Facebook Marketplace. You have to weed through scam artists and low ballers, but it's easier than the others.

Sweet mag cover. Going to hold on to this one.

Can someone loan me $9,000?

Only 50 guitars made.

This was my first guitar. $99 in a box set at Guitar Center in Chicago. Came with a ****ty amp too!

I remember telling my dad "I think I'll sound better with better gear"……we went to a local metal band practice house and the lead guitarist played it and my jaw just dropped……I was 15 at the time. But it ain't the guitar, it's the guitarist!

How does that compare to the OG tube screamer?

My brothers in Christ, I'm the last person to ask. Idk all the appropriate toan words like warm, creamy, or scrongy to appropriately convey the differences. I also have an Ibanez TS9DX so I will do a side by side, but I'm warning you now I doubt I'll be much help

Parents bought me a cheap Chinese brand acoustic at a pawn shop for my 15th bday. Later that year I saved enough to buy my first electric. A used Kramer Focus 1000. Spitting image of this one. I've always regretted getting rid of it. Bang for your buck killer guitar.

Take the trash out staff.

I think they're basically the same thing. I seem to recall reading something about Maxon built or designed the 808 for Ibanez.

To be fair, Pantera isn't rock and roll.

I'm a fan of Cole Clark's acoustic PG3 system with a Piezo at the bridge, face sensor and mic providing bass, mids and highs that is very adaptable, but I decided to trade my CC Fat Lady II for their new hybrid guitar. It combines their PG3 system with single coils and/or humbuckers for a hybrid acoustic/electric. The challenge was to tune each magnet separately to work with the variable amount of electromagnetic material in typical acoustic strings. They somehow managed to pull it off and the guitar has 2 outputs that allow you to play acoustic, electric or both at the same time through 2 amp/PA's.

Playing and hearing both at the same time is wild. I had the electric going through my Vox with a small amount of distortion and the acoustic going through my Spark with a tough of delay and reverb and it was cool as hell.

Ummm sure?

I don't know. I would say yes but I like a good deal on strings. I don't change mine often enough. This will help.

A guy I used to work with had that style of plate and I kinda think that might have been his.
