Today I’ll talk about the guitars that kind of rotate in and out of play. I guess that would qualify them as my favorites. First, the one that has been my primary player for the last year. It’s one of those Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Shop ES-355 models. I got it right at a …

But I still buy on Reverb
I saw a vid a couple weeks ago that made me stop and think. Well, not much, but it just kind of confirmed something I had been thinking. Long and short is that I don’t really sell anything on Reverb anymore. Heck, I’ve got a box of pedals over there that I need to get …
I always eat at the same restaurants
In a former life, I was GM of a mom and pop burger joint. Burgers and fries were our big sellers and what folks knew us for, but we also sold chicken fried steak and a couple things like that. While I was there, I read a couple of industry mags every month. I remember …
Teach Me What?
A while back I saw a question on the big R, and I thought it was interesting. In fact, it was a question I didn’t realize I had several years ago. If I had known to ask it, I would’ve saved myself about a year of frustration and some money. The question the poster asked …
What Is Perfection?
I spend too much time on Reddit. A lot of what I look at is guitar and pedal related. Some of the types of posts that you see there seem to be cyclical. And I’ve noticed a certain type of post is taking its turn again. And I hate them. Occasionally, I’m sure some of …
More Reverb Silliness
More dumb stuff on Reverb this week. And, yes, I get that this is an old man yelling at the clouds moment. Neeways… There’s a pedal that I have been trolling on Reverb. I want one. For the right price. I’m not paying new prices for a used pedal. Honestly, it’s not that popular of …
What Makes a Ford a Chevy
I was cruising the interwebs today, and I saw something that made me laugh out loud. Some person, somewhere, was talking about their 2007 Fender Standard Stratocaster. They were wanting to sell it, and they were asking how much folks thought they could get for it. Thing is, right there in their first line, it …
What makes it big?
I had an old-man-yelling-at-clouds moment this morning. That said, I’ve had this same thought, in the same situation, for years. This one was a little different though. The thought over the years is that I laugh at folks posting pics of their pedal board that will have 10 or 12 of the small, nano-sized pedals …
Using the PodGo
Two or three years ago I took in a box full of pedals to my local GC to trade. I don’t guess it was quite a box full, but it was 7 or 8. It was by and large a bunch of Klones and TS-type that I had never used after I tried them out …
Lego Advent Calender – 2024 Edition
So the 2024 Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar has reached its end today. And, in my humble, but most accurate, opinion, it is… THE BEST ONE YET!!! The advent calendars always seem to have some sort of theme. This year, it seemed to me to be a throwback to a lot of the original Lego …
