Okay, I get it, not everybody (including me) wants or needs Milk Chocalate, but to say "it's not for Girls" on the package?
what am I missing here? English humor.......way over my head.
Beats me. I always though chocolate was for girls and pretty much everyone else. In varying concentrations of sugar content.
 
I like it, however.............

The neck has a pretty real bow to it, so the action is ridiculous, one of the pickup bezels is also cracked, not the end of the world, the pics just didn't show that. I'm going to ponder for a couple days and *may* take it up to Mike Lull and see what he thinks on Thursday. Soundwise the pickups are hot (mine may be too close to the strings) and get a bit wooly when played finger style, lots of growl with a pick. I haven't played it through the SWR yet as I've been at work and busy, plus the GK is upstairs and I can't move it without help right now, can't pick up anything more than 10lbs now as I'm recovering from surgery last week. it's tough being a Queen!
Surgery? You ok?

If it’s just a bow, not twisted (like the first Goth I had and gave up on), or has an awful ski jump, and the truss rod works, you can most likely fix it. But you know that. Getting it to someone you trust before return time expires is what I’d do if you’re on the fence about it. Get well soon!
 
From 2002 this commercial is legit...

Don't think they could get away with that one today.

Holy ____!

From some time ago and appears to be part of a very tongue in cheek campaign. But, the British have a history of these types of things.

Could anyone other than Monty Python come up with men playing women impersonating men?
 
Couple of more pics...great show, Frampton did not disappoint and Bonham’s Zeppelin was probably the closest one is going to get to listening to live Zep..
Frampton’s guitarist played this thing (one of JIO’s creations?;)) most of the night...

Slow on the uptake - of course there is a backline of 360s for Bonham's band. Those are Grexa reissues. As I recall, they have four of them or so. That would push an entire atmosphere if necessary.
 
I never suspected that there were others around here that appreciate Jane's Addiction. But now that I think about it, I should have known.
Seriously? The XXX album and Nothing's Shocking are just incredible. They never get old for me. Three albums that were in constant rotation on every trip to and from college for me were the Jane's Addiction XXX album, Social Distortion's eponymous, and Exile on Main Street from the Rolling Stones.
