the only thing thats hot are old guitars that you own because you bought them 50 years ago or inherited from someone who did and new guitars that you bought because they were the best you could get for cheap

50 years from now ppl will being trying to recapture the tone of mid-range beaters of today b/c only complete dickholes that will never go beyond being the best guitarist in their immediate group of friends or one of 6 lead guitarists in some HOT LICKZ shredder act with no appeal to anyone except HOT LICKZ shredder guitarists play anything more expensive than your average mass-produced guitar

blackie didnt make clapton sound great it was the other drat way around

in conclusion that guitar is dumb as poo poo but in true broken clock fashion not for the dumbass reasons faustus is farting on about

no one will ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever give a poo poo about your attack and sustain if you got chops and u write great music

ever

I'd rather not repeat everything, and I think you would all agree.

The pics of my Seafoam Green JEM which festooned page one and my collection which made up page two were posted by people who didn't like me defending the (as yet, unreleased) Xbox One in the Microsoft Console Hate Thread (since gassed, which I had nothing to do with.) The question was why would you buy an Xbox One on credit and the answer was, "all these guitars." I posted two pics and as soon as I saw "only ugly guitars itt" I knew I was getting called out.
Captain Capslock and his friends made an example of me and I just played along.

It's the new GBS; so there's exactly zero reason to care, just post and post. I haven't broken any rules, I've just answered posts directed to or at me. You all say you don't care, but the amount of posts you've made to argue with me belies the truth.

The amount of hypocrisy itt is astounding but like I said, even the GBS of 2001 wasn't like this.

I enjoyed the gassed Xbox One thread, and this thread has been like a Christmas gift to me.

Happy New Year!

Naw, you see ML doesn't judge like a bunch of cranky toddlers like new GBS does. I've even posted MP3s of my playing and only one person had the veiwpoint that it was basement playing. I'd much rather go back to lurking my favorite forums, but you hateful dissatisfied GBS things can't just be cool, because being cool is being UNcool. That's what's so funny.

So, welcome to 2014.

P.S. - Number of musicians who have answered with MP3s of their own: Zero. They just know they're gonna get crucified in here. I wish no one from ML would come in here, because I don't want them to face the huge wall of negativity I've read for awhile.

VVVV Go on without me!

White Dog Eggs posted:

Eh, not to defend the guy or anything, but he's not that bad. He acts like a spoiled fat kid at his own birthday party and cannot loving shut up (seriously, look at his website, he'll have this fantastic technical article about pickup placement or whatever and end it with "PROTECT THE SECOND AMENDMENT, BECAUSE THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS THE ONLY THING PROTECTING THE CONSTITUTION" underneath it, wtf?), but he's supposed to be a pretty fair guy to do business with once he's decided that he likes you.

Personal Anecdote: I was repairing a beat-up old Steinberger for a customer and the guitar needed a new bridge. This would normall be no problem but vintage Steinberger bridges are incompatible with the newer models and, as Ed Roman brought all of their old inventory when they first went under, he is literally the only place in the world to get a new replacement part, so if I want to repair this guitar I have no choice but to ring him up from the UK at 2am (he doesn't do business over email and there is no option to buy from his website), I ring his shop up and tell the guy who answers what I want, he says that Ed deals with that sort of thing and passed me over, conversation went something like this;

Ed: Yea? What do you want?
Me: Err, a Trans-trem bridge for a vintage Steinberger.
Ed: You restoring one or something?
Me: Yea, I'm..
Ed: Because for twice as much I'll build you an instrument that looks the same and plays way better, plus I'll put a decent bridge on it for you, those old bridges ain't up to much
Me: Well, I'm repairing one for a customer and with the trans-trem you are the only game in town, so....
Ed: Hahaha, Town??? What town is that?
Me: The world... Town...
Ed: *Screams of laughter down the phone, I can practically hear his chins wobble* Holy poo poo, world town. World town??? *cue about 2 minutes of laughter* ahh.... gently caress. So you wanted one, ok, where are you calling from?
Me: England.
Ed: You called me up from england and you are probably paying what, 10 dollars a minute to tell me about world town? Jesus christ, you guys crack me up. Ok, give me your details.
[cue about 10 minutes of haggling and getting my payment details and address sorted]
Ed: Okay... Okay Mr Dog Eggs, I'll get it sorted.... Hang on.. This call is gonna cost you MOOCHO DENERRROOO, you need anything else?
Me: No, just the bridge.
Ed: Okay... okay... You're getting something else, what do you want?
Me: Umm... For free?
Ed: I'm the Mayor of World Town, you want some pickups? I'll give you some pickups, I've got boxes of gibson and PRS humbuckers? You want a few??
Me: For free? Yea, sure!
Ed: Okay... Okay... Right.... I've wasted enough time on you, this call is probably costing me more money than it you to you, so that's it. Bye *hangs up*.

About 3 days later I get an express package with the bridge I wanted with 4 random pickups, some 3 x 3 tuners and some Steinberger strings (they have balls at both end) along with a note saying "FROM THE MAYOR OF WORLD TOWN".

The phonecall cost me about �30, the replacement bridge and shipping was pretty expensive, but all the cost got passed to the customer and I got some random free crap. It was pretty confusing but I can't complain. He's an odd guy.

This is a top-notch story, but as far as ugly guitars threads god, if stupid sexy Faustus didn't spoil it, Ed Roman would be king of it.

Seriously, here's a ten-point argument about why one ugly guitar is a forgery of another ugly guitar.
