Reminds me of this Strokes video I worked on. We had to put reflective tape on their equipment to get that effect. It was a little nerve wracking to apply and I never found out if it all came off afterwards but they were cool about it, seemed like nice guys.

I hope that they blatantly lie about all of the specifications of the guitar to make it as true to the memory of Chris Kyle as possible.

Welcome home boys!

Have you ever wanted a BC Rich but you accidentally bought a nice looking guitar?

Well I haven't, but I am guessing something like that is the thought process.

edit: lolling at idea of posting that to official PRS Facebook page under heading "Check out my sweet TONE mod."

The building is called "king's cross" (it's harry potter themed, blech), so I assume it's just a stupid person who thought that was a "street" sounding abbreviation (there's like no black people here). But I will continue to pretend that you built my new dining hall to provide sweet lunch conversation tonez.

Funnily enough, with Fender the mix seems to vary according to the whims of whomever is in charge of the "putting orange poo poo into the poly" machine that day, sometimes you get really gross examples. The best part is that they now do nitro finishes with 'vintage' tint. Over the years it'll fade into an "ill piss" shade that will look awesomely gross, thensomeone will try and re-create that for a relic finish and the cycle will continue until 2100 where all maple necks will look like giant Guinness turds.

Also Hello Kitty Squiers will be worth the price of a lower-mid range family car.

more than once i've been tempted by the Hello Kitty toy grand piano for that wonderful "being slammed on by a three year old" tone, but poo poo's like $80 or something

i did however buy my spongebob ukulele there, which with new strings sounds surprisingly nice for a cheap piece of plastic
