That kinda graphic seems like a natural for a Vee, don't you think? +1... Or a derivative of the Confederate flag - ala the General Lee - on a Vee.

I gotta agree with you, LOTT. A lot of this might have to do with all of us being so jaded that it's just hard to impress us anymore, but I also can't say that there's one thing in their display that I look at and think, "I'd like to have one of those." A display at NAMM really helps sell it doesn't it? I wish they could've gone the Huber route and staged the guitars in a way that was a little more flattering. Even black velvet draped over the display wall would've helped make the finish of those guitars pop a little more.

Oh yes... it is! SCHWINNGG!

Condolences and prayer for you and your family.

Thanks! This one is nice. I picked it up from a guy in TX. But who knows how he got it. Very fun to play. But GAS is building, so...

bump...and a price drop to $500.

Very cool. Let's see pics when it's all done!

+1 MM You've got to wonder about the mental state of people who thought that up and the "actors." Jackass was funny. This isn't.

Allright dangnabbit! I'm a sucker for just this kind of stuff. 'm ordering a copy of Guitar People off of Amazon.com tonight.

You could have written the Wikipedia article on CS. Very impressive.

Actually, that's not quite correct. Anybody can make a claim about anything.

So is JM with his technical ability and face contortions, just a modern day Carlos Santana? (duck)

+1 on the Talladega. Its got the b@lls! G&L makes a very good Tele. +1 on your cork sniffing comment.

These guys are a lot of fun to hear and watch. If they make it to Philly, I'm going.

When you get bored, i'll be happy to pay you $400 for it.

John Mayer...Plays nice pop songs; Dates hotties. A guitar hero? ...stop the ride, I want to jump off. As I get older, I choose not to connect with popular culture more and more.

How about a trade for a Vector/Mirage II in similar condition? Let me know.

Thanks for the review. I was tempted to head over to Crocodile Rock...now, I'm not so sure. Messing up lyrics, pyro guitars that don't light, spot lights that didn't quite work...all that was missing was that he didn't step on a dwarf dancing around an 18" stonehenge. Ace in my memory banks is cherished. Don't see the point in messing that up now.

Our first rock record was Rockn'Roll over. At that point, it was sayonara to Shini Suzuki. Hello Ace. He's still not the most technically proficient guitarist. But his solos definitely grooved and were lyrical. One of my guilty pleasures is playing New York Groove. Glad to hear he's still sober. Please pass on best wishes to him. Gene took himself way too seriously. Ace certainly was willing to ham it up. Even Paul would get fed up with it. There's a You Tube video out there with Paul just sticking it him with a look and Gene really getting mad. The fact that Ace is still a draw and gathers this much traffic on a non-Kiss website sure is testament to his influence and staying power. Good for him!

You have to give those guys credit. The original line up came up with a very good "schtick" (intentional use of Yiddish). Musically, well let's say that there were few brightspots. Finally, when the original line up petered out, Gene and Paul ended up recruiting musicians that were better than the originals. Oh yeah, and they worked harder/smarter at what they did than almost anyone else.

Merry Christmas gang! All the best to you and yours.

Bump. I've got GAS for a nicer Vector. And I'll need to free up some cash to address these symptoms. Give me a holla' if interested.

It has to be this ... To help pay for it, I had to unload my Studio Custom (liked it. didn't love it) and my Duo Tone (loved it. hurt to part with it.) So all I've got left is the Centaura...for now. Would I do it again? Well...you know the answer to that.

Been there. Done that. Then replaced drywall, carpeting, etc. when the emergency s-pumpectomy didn't work out. Stay dry!

What's the name of that seller? I don't think I'll want to do business with him based on your experience.
