I thought Rondo wasn't making custom guitars anymore, but I can't think of any possible explanation for this strange beast other than "custom that the buyer flaked on": https://www.rondomusic.com/product10489.html
A fretless 8-string guitar with a 25.5" scale length. Who in the world is that for?

The singer in my former band sometimes stepped on my tuner during gigs, which incidentally cleared up most of my bad tone. He was also very fat and stood very close to me and the guitarists occasionally, muting our strings with his belly. He's a super cool dude though.

And now the stupid is coming from me, guess who plugged in her noise gate pedal backwards and took an embarrassingly long time to figure out why no signal was getting through at all. Related, gently caress led ceiling lights.

I can't believe this was the intended sound when they designed this. I would best describe it as like the sound of a duck eating your rear end when you have terminal diarrhea.

Henry kaiser "means" to play what he plays in the same way a drunk "means" to create the exact shape and volume of the puke puddle they spew in the floorboard of the cab they're riding in.

Jackson Pollock is an extremely respected painter, to say the least. This is a painting by Jackson Pollock:



You might look at this painting and think it's nonsense. But there's something to it. It's intentional nonsense. There's a famous story about Pollock where a reporter was speaking to him while he was working in his studio. The reporter looks at the painting and says something like "That looks like bullshit. Anybody could do that. Why should anybody respect what you're doing, specifically?" Pollock's answer to this question was, from about 20 feet away, to flick a wad of paint from his brush across the room at the reporter, landing square on the reporter's shoe. Pollock smiled.

Here is another, earlier piece by Pollock:



It is an art deco styled depiction of the American steel worker. Pollock was truly talented. His most famous works, while they might initially appear chaotic, were entirely intentionally and meticulously crafted statements and representations of clear ideas.


Henry Kaiser is not like Jackson Pollock.

Kaiser and musicians like him do not have any underlying, foundational understanding of music or their chosen means of artistic expression at all. Unlike Pollock, Kaiser has no developed inner world of broader understanding from which his art emerges. It's a meaningless collapse of unintentional, amateur accidents coming from a man who has had an entire life's worth of free time to devote to his craft, but has not.

I used to get CB radio transmissions from a particularly irate trucker on a specific amp in a specific part of a friend's bedroom in high school. Just his side, though, and boy was he constantly angry.

Emilio is actually a super nice dude, but holy poo poo the crystal frets thing is completely wackadoo. They wanted an absolutely exorbitant amount of money for the most bluesdad tonewood idea of all time.

Once again, old hype man Beato is wrong and can gently caress off as the self appointed gatekeeper of classic rock. It's a good solo but in no way is the greatest of anything.

Gibson must have sensed this thread is moving too slow these days. They just came out with a new guitar. It's called the Theodore.

https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Guitar/CUSKUG690/Theodore/Natural




$5,000. They want five thousand US dollars for an ugly piece of poo poo that looks like an Explorer neck glued to a tulip. lol

They're only making 318 of them. They're already sold out, because of course they are.

How the hell do you find good clothes for the stage? I have no idea what people are wearing because when I think of guys my age in cover bands all I can picture are bowling shirts or mechanic shirts. I do not want to do the Guy Fieri.

I don't have time to go trolling Goodwills or what-have-you. Is there any place online that has stylish, affordable stuff? I'm way out of my element on this one.

I'm not exactly the kinda guy who likes to wear skulls and poo poo like that.
