    Some guitars are too funny not to post

    Maybe it was a mod for a short person. The 335 shape is kind of like an SG where the bridge sits at almost the center of the body requiring a further reach, and not every shortie wants to sling it like Angus Young.

    The First World Problem Thread...Voice Your Struggle

    No pool, alas. Our crummy old building did have a nicely-maintained courtyard, though. We weren't allowed to walk on the grass and we were discouraged from sitting outside around it. Had to spend a lot of time looking out the window at it to get my money's worth.

    I do not miss condo fees at all. By the time I moved out of my condo, the fee was ~$450/mo. My freaking mortgage was ~$900.

    Ummm...let's see what else...Oh! How about Guitar Cakes? Why not.

    For my 30th, my wife ordered a guitar cake from a friend of a friend. This was quite some time ago but around the time when theme-cake shows started airing so she was all about that. It looked OK but it was mostly structural rice crispy material coated by way too many layers of fondant. Some...

    The CRAZIEST guitar gear collection on the internet?

    I like Kyle's channel, but the video is 80min and on principle I cannot watch a guitar-related video that's longer than the amount of time I get to play in a week.

    Unpopular Opinions

    ^Gonna be really interested in seeing the YT recommendations after watching a video with that name. Point well-made, though!

    T.V. shows you've been watching

    I did a rewatch of the series before the 'revival' season, and while I think the first four seasons are better, the latter ones kind of tarnished everything. Dexter was always the beneficiary of dumb luck & plot armor to keep him out of trouble. It becomes more noticeable in rewatch because as...

    "Not Worth its own thread" Thread

    I'm in central MA and felt nothing, but one of my colleagues who lives not that far away sent an MS Teams message right after: "did you all feel that"?

    I must temper this by acknowledging that I don't by any stretch live in the most severe winter climate out of the folks here, but for the most part I handle winter well. I'm mostly a homebody, I'm within the delivery radius of several grocery & liquor stores, and shoveling snow is really the...

    Why are you sad right now?

    I feel like this structure is true of so many different facets of life... it's just that the meaning of "compliance issue" and the identity of "HR" changes.

    Why are you sad right now?

    ^I get this feeling. If I want to get high blood pressure tunnel-vision while sitting in front of my computer, I'll log into work, thankyouverymuch. There was a time when gaming was one of the few diversions that would make the 'dogs stop barking', so to speak. More and more often, though...

    Has streaming ruined "the album"?

    For the most part, I'm sure you're right. People who just want the hits aren't exactly wringing their hands over how the music industry has changed. It's only getting easier for them to get the experience they want. On the other hand, there's always talk about such-and-such gear, genre of...

    "Not Worth its own thread" Thread

    Had to check it out and yep- pretty bad. But then YT recommended Linkin Park's cover which was also bad & featured comments claiming it to be better than the original. Had I not closed the tab in disgust I'm sure YT would then direct me to a djent cover and I'd have to throw myself in front of...

    Has streaming ruined "the album"?

    I agree that EPs are good for both offering a concise introduction to a band as well as enforcing some QC. The issue I think is that a touring band- even if they're new- needs enough of a repertoire to fill a set. It's probably hard to write a full set of material and elect to not record &...

    It's official, a """Pantera reunion""" is happening.

    I would love to see one of these reunion interviews* where member says, "Another record with these pricks? Fuck no- what's over is over but thanks for the money!" *Not including members of KISS- I presume this is always the demeanor.

    Has streaming ruined "the album"?

    Are there a lot of artists that produce album-oriented material that are waving the white flag? One must scroll pretty far through that article before finding comments from an artist who is not a club DJ- a scene where I imagine the artists have always needed to be on top of what's current...

    SSO: Deep Thoughts

    Just like the folks above indicate, the procedure is easy and recovery is fine unless it isn't. After icing for 3 days or whatever, it seemed like I was out of the woods, but there was some additional swelling and pain that lasted about 3 months. It was a nuisance, but certainly not a...

    Worst guitar brand names

    I know that $100 Amazon guitars are too easy, but GROTE is such an ugly name. (It's also sounds the same as the fake disease on Curb Your Enthusiasm.) How hard is it find one person out there for cheap to tell them whether a name will read as good/bad/nonsense to a Western market?

    The HAARP Machine Megathread

    I watched the new one out of curiosity. Seems like a 3-horse race between vanity, stupidity, and unwellness.
