Wtf dude 🤣 maybe you do need to receive a box full of crack. If you get hooked on crack you’ll stop buying guitars. Or you will just get REALLY fast at guitars. Time will tell…

Hey...BUYING guitars is so much different than actually RECEIVING them 🤣🤣🤣

I had a four month long anxiety attack waiting on the Carvin. I took the day off of work when it was scheduled for delivery and then got a message they tried to deliver and nobody home…I literally had a chair setup to stare out of the window. FedEx sucks. I ended up having to pick it up in Manhattan. But I did actually get it lol.

Jacksonville must be a happening place 🤣
This is the other guitar I bought. I have a few trips on the horizon that I'll be locked in a hotel room while my co workers are at the bar...And I've always loved these weirdo little things. And they're dirt cheap. And my amp is a MacBook Pro so I can have my setup anywhere.

I am interested to see how that plays sitting. Then again I said the same thing about a V and pretty much use that as my main guitar now - play sitting 99% of the time.

It has a fold out leg rest thing.

Since we were recently discussing Gibson being an evil corporation… their latest conquest is to crush Jericho Guitars for using the Explorer shape. The guitars are totally different but it does have the same shape. I mean come on…how many companies have used the Les Paul shape at this point? The owner of Jericho is claiminf Gibson threatened his server provider and locked him out of all his data. Everything from existing orders to his kids gymnastic meets have been locked off. From what I gathered he is saying Gibson didn’t want to spend time and resources on a patent dispute so they went behind the scenes to sabotage him. Kinda crazy but not unbelievable considering…
This is the guitar in question. It’s def an explorer ripoff….but ten times nicer than a Gibson lol.

What about when James Hetfield left Gibson and had ESP make his guitars?

It’s got a slightly different shape though, so not exactly like an Explorer. ESP also makes a model shaped like a Les Paul, but it’s built like a modern guitar. I can see him eventually going to Gibson since he also plays a V, and Kirk has been waving around his $2M Les Paul a lot lately. I’m bummed that Mark Morton went to Gibson though, I hope that Willy Adler stays with ESP.

Going to Gibson is like moving to Florida, it's the last step before the end.

To be fair, if you follow Morton on IG he keeps showing off all these 1960’s Les Paul’s that sound amazing. He’s always been more of a classic rock/blues guy. There was an interview with him about his Jackson sig where he said the last thing he wanted to do was build a “metal” guitar because it’s not his style.

I don’t follow anyone on IG or any other social media platform (oh shit, should I be playing a Gibson?). Its great and all that he’s into the classic shit, most metal-heads are also into the classic stuff, but he plays in fucking Lamb of God. It’s not like they play 12-bar blues.
Well, if this last album sucks as much as, oh, everything they’ve done since the black album, then he may as well go to Gibson.

Gibson makes nice ass guitars sorry/not sorry. Have there been hiccups in the past, yes. From 2009-2020 their non-custom shop stuff didn’t do anything for me.
Also to compare custom builder guitars to their non-custom shop isn’t really on par.
Caesar seems to have things coming back, their marketing/social media has been awesome. Got to visit the Gibson Garage in September and it was fawking awesome!
For the past ten years I would not buy a new Gibson and stuck with the 90’s era stuff, but I have purchased offerings in the 2022 flavor and am pleased.
