Majority of guitarists are idiot superstitious children who think the wood their instrument is made out of matters in how it sounds coming from an amplifier so its not really surprising they have terrible taste occasionally

That was my first solid-body electric.
I put it there, upside-down, to remind me that I suck so I would practice more. It worked. I can play, now.

Also, all of you Steve Vai and Seafoam Green haters can go gently caress yourselves. The only guitar playing most of you can do is acoustic strumming and guitar video games.

I, too, hate people who like Steve Vai. People who say that "G3" or whatever is the best band ever are always insufferable music snobs. Soon leads to being told how awful Kurt Cobain was.

There are tons of stereotypes out there. I love that D'Aquisto as much as my JEMs or my home-built Strat-style or my 1930's Martin Orchestra model, which, BTW, my Grandfather bought from Mel Bay in St. Louis and has passed down to me.

I know this is the new FYAD-lite so it's wrong to actually like anything, and tearing people down is the joy of the anonymous hater; but I come from a long line of musicians (guitarists specifically) and I enjoy a good song. I do not apologize for my taste, my honesty, or the fact that I am earnest about my music and my instruments. I've been around this place a long time and I am used to the negativity.

I can love a complex piece from a guy like Vai (really, hating on a performer who graduated from Berklee and started out with Frank Zappa and P.I.L.) or anything by Nirvana or Bela Fleck, from three-chord simplicity to crazy progressive stuff, from single note solos to the most terrifying virtuosity (e.g. Tommy Emmanuel or Michael Hedges or Robben Ford), I just follow my ears and I love music. Piano music, classical music, old Hip-Hop, acoustic wizardry, searing country/bluegrass, whatever owns.

I love a vintage Fender or Gibson as much as I love my pointy, cheesy Ibanezes (they were very much in vogue when I got serious about playing and we knew they were cheesy then) and they hold a special place in my heart.

There is no accounting for taste, true, but my final word here is that I love my guitars like my own children, and I have devoted 27 years to collecting this gear and learning to make music with it.

Thanks for your time. It's nice to see my collection getting so much attention, even if it's mostly just Crapslock et. al loving with me because I like my Xbox.

Going by quote count, Goons think the greatest crime you can commit against a guitar is paint it teal and put a loving handle on it.

It's Seafoam Green, not teal. It's based on an old car paint color Leo Fender used. Ford and Chevy both had versions, one was Seafoam Green and one was Surf Green.

Leo was a tightwad and used to buy up unused car paint at low prices to use on his guitars. It's a throwback to the surf era more than anything else.

One thing I really like about Via's guitars is that he scallops the high frets which lets you run the action lower while being able to really grab the strings for bends. I have a ibanez 3750z and I wish it had the scalloped frets.

No, I actually think it's a good idea to drop $6,000 on a brand new $2,000 guitar that just came off the assembly line and then had $4,000 of UV light and chiseling and finish crackling done to it to make it look like it's 40 years old; so I can look like I've been playing since I was in the womb to show you how awesome I am before I even play the first bar of the song.
