    health care passes... and the result will be...

    Get ready to pay. I am all for people getting health care. In my state, California, the poor and unemployed get coverage. Of Course we also enjoy the highest state taxes of any state. Who pays those taxes, the rich sure, the ones who actually declare Ca as their primary residence. So who else...

    now I've seen everything... 79% interest credit card

    I have to admit, this doesn't bother me really. If you have bad credit, probably the best way to fix it is to get one of those cards you put money into an account and that becomes your credit limit. You have to choose to take the card, it's not like you get a decent rate and had them ninja hike...

    how long had you been playing?

    Been "plinking" around with Guitar since maybe 1988. I have had enough cheap and unpleasant to play guitars to have bough a Gibson LONG ago plus a decent amp. Bought my first Gibson in 2005 (I think) a SG faded special, then a SG standard in 2008. I'm not dedicated enough to be good...

    SG Ink Pen

    Well it should be obvious the $24.00 Gibson logo black tee-shirt is far superior to the $14.00 Epiphone logo black tee-shirt. I mean if they were the same quality why wouldn't everyone just buy the cheaper...duh ;D /sarcasm off $40 for a pen, $24 for a hat or t-shirt? Seriously? I'm sure...

    Gibson USA Faded Special.....

    Good luck on the "SG" Truss rod cover, have yet to find those. Except the occasional knock off on ebay, or the way overpriced take off original. Don't know why you can get blank, custom and Les Paul stock TRC's but no SG ones.

    Better bevels on new SGs, finally?

    I read an article that said Gibson took a '59 (I think) Les Paul and had it scoped or whatever they call it where that little needle runs over the contours to make an exact digital duplicate which they made a blank out of which they keep locked up to use for programing the cnc machines. Sorry...

    Anyone heard about the Angus Young SG being redesigned by Gibson?

    A little off topic but saw Ace on "red eye" tonight, he was playing a LP with the same lightening bolt inlays as Angus' SG clone. Of Course it also had a gawd awful carnival ride metallic flake paint job too, but the inlays were cool.

    Gibson Unveils Strat-Style Jimi Hendrix Signature Line

    Lol, I think it's lame as hell. I got the email a couple of weeks ago but didn't see any pic's. I hate that his sister is selling him out and also hate that Gibson took the bait. I bet the quality will be in line with Maestro by Gibson guitars. I don't know if Gibson ever made one but why isn't...

    new guy from dallas

    Welcome and nice guitar. I was checking those out at guitar center, very nice looking guitars. So nice I could feel my credit card aching to be used, but I managed to restrain myself. I didn't plug it in, didn't need anymore temptation. How does it sound?

    The GOP wants to force us to buy FOR-PROFIT insurance only.

    If the government wants to truely and fairly reduce the cost of health care they would eliminate class action lawsuits, frivolous malpractice suits etc. basically tort reform. Also change patent laws and how they pertain to medications. They should allow people to buy insurance in any state, not...

    Better bevels on new SGs, finally?

    I think it was on youtube I saw a video of a guy rough cutting necks without even a template. Did it fast too. The same video showed a guy sanding a LP, he used a belt sander but pressed the belt to the wood with his hand, rather than some computerized machine.

    Anyone heard about the Angus Young SG being redesigned by Gibson?

    Angus draws that logo, I think it's alot neater and meaningful than having his sig on the headstock. I suppose if you loved everything about the guitar, and could afford one, but the logo really bothered you you could pay to have the headstock refinished (assuming it's screened on under the...

    Ordering from Sweetwater - My experience

    I've ordered from sweetwater, unfortunately forgot to click from the site, oops. But it was great service, the guy called me literally like 10 minutes after I ordered to confirm, then did a follow up call too. I know they really wanted to sell me extra stuff but I have to admit it is nice to get...

    Gibson USA Faded Special.....

    You can get covers at GC or off the net around 12 bucks each. I removed the covers from my standard and put them on the faded, they definitely add some class. :coolsmiley:
