Well, I mean, the thread title is true. Cynic was always about the interplay of the Seans with Paul's weirdness over the top. So, in that regard, Cynic *is* dead. As for new music, we'll see? After the "Re-Focused" cash grab (because those drums sound like total crap), and the last record...

I went to the tour last year. It was...underwhelming. Edit: Also, what happened to Max?

Your NGDs always deliver. While not something I'd personally be interested in, that's cool as hell.

Yeah, I guess I am. Sorry about that.

"Japan". All the parts are made in Indo factories, IIRC.

I cannot wrap my mind around this.

I've seen legit OEM TB4s with the regular screw holes. I suspect that's what this set it.

17.7K for a JB? I mean, they look real, it just tells you how bad Duncan's QC is.

Warm makes a perfectly acceptable clone.

Fender's been doing this forever simply by changing the pickups and FB radius. :agreed:

Although the new white one up above has "Made In Indonesia" on the back of the headstock, but I can't imagine otherwise. The Chinese guitars are more consistent anyway.

The temptation to rout one of these for a topmount Floyd is gonna be high.

That seems to be trying to hit the Randy and Vivian markets at the same time.

Those Showmasters are awesome. I should probably track one down before they move to psycho expensive.

That never even made it to the US, and there weren't many made for Japan. Good luck with that.

Anything that makes an X Series cheaper...

The .50 Cal is a pretty unique amp for Mesa, kind of like a budget-line Mark II in the 6L6 version. They have a very raw, open feel compared to the Mark, though. The EL34 version is different, more Santana-ish and lacking the EQ (at least I've never seen one, although they probably exist.) I...

Well, they're made in the same factory, so...

:rofl: Uh, yeah, I guess. If you consider the 1988-89 Model 3DR to be "the early '90s", and the fact that I own a 1988 Jackson Dinky (that is, I can assure you, bolt-on). I hate it when companies don't even know their own history.

I don't see where any of these are US-made? Still, Fender sells USA Strats for less, and these are made by the same company. They're probably Mexican, since the MJs are $100 more.
