    Vitalij Kuprij has passed away

    Sucks to hear this, RIP. There was a time when I was looking into the fastest keyboard/guitar solo duels and that's where I discovered both his solo output like VK3 and Artension. He was super talented and he was too young to go.

    What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

    Probably a Les Paul Standard 60s of some sort. Don't know why I want one all of a sudden. I think I'm just getting old lol.

    New Dying Fetus rips.

    New album is awesome, probably my favorite of the year. Maybe only the New suffocation record can top it for me.

    Trooch has a music software company now

    Yeah, I'm buying this. His tone on his recent material has been some of the best guitar tone I've heard. Excited to try them in the Axe III!

    How does a Suhr Modern hold up to more modern guitars?

    I have only tried a few Suhr Moderns so far and while they were great guitars, I did not consider purchasing one due to the lower cutaway and subsequent upper fret access not being the best. I also have larger hands so that was a definite deal breaker for a lead player like me.

    But FYI my other one is still available: Very tempting! I think I'm set on this one though if your other buyer doesn't come through. If you do indeed end up selling this to the other buyer please let me know as well.

    ESP 2023

    For sure I have heard amazing things about ESP original craftsmanship. I wish I could test both side by side just to see what kind of difference there is. You are right about fretwork being much more important than material. I think its more that anything in the 5k range is a hard sell for me...

    ESP 2023

    ESP's pricing in the states just puzzles me. Like why would anyone pay nearly 4 times more for this ESP Arrow: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ArrowOA2--esp-original-arrow-electric-guitar-andromeda-ii than just buy this LTD 1000 Arrow...

    Ibanez 2023 Models ! What would you like to see ?

    Same thing I always want but will probably never get; a MIJ green dot Universe reissue. I do not need more guitars right now but will buy that in a heartbeat.

    Lifestyle, diminishing returns and changes in personal income conundrum.

    I don't make crazy money but I'm ok. I also don't mind spending on high end craftsmanship pertaining to my hobbies as I value that aspect. But I feel like I got all of my hobby bases covered and don't care about typical show off stuff like fancy cars/clothing/watches etc. I also don't have...

    Sweetwater Music has a custom shop?!

    I find them a bit overrated overall tbh. They don't work with you much on discounts because they say that their "personalized" service makes up for it. Well maybe for some but I've had pretty much the same service level at MF/GC online or Zzounds/AMS. Unless you count the candy lol. Their "55...
