He was a survivor.

Is it possible to be off-topic? Isn't this the porch of Cracker Barrel, and aren't we just tangentially reminiscing? Dang, dropped a checker.

Beautiful guitar - and I must say, while I consider myself among the fortunatest of the fortunate, a thing like that has never happened to me. A new guitar...which hits every button on the console...inexplicably and magically appearing? Man. You MUST tell the story. Surely you have some...

Ohhh...OK, that picture of #3 is quite fetching. Black Cherryburst, OK. I hate dings and chips, so it would depend on where they're located and how bad they are - but that one is now more compelling to me than Bachelorette #2. It's vivid, elegant, dignified, and regal. Uncommon. Forget that...

Ehh, terbacky burst is all right - always an acceptable treatment when a more ravishing example is unavailable (and always at least a B in a domain where there are Cs, Ds, and outright Fails). But how many baccybursts have you already got? I don't say that all "sunbursts" (a shame the...

Huh. At least you were lied to. Our agent didn't bother. I guess if you'd've asked us (not that we all agreed), we might've thought we were paying dues (and a few bills) while we worked up material for a studio trip and then, inevitably, discovery. (We did work up the material, and did the...

Bachelorette #2, hands down, no contest. Good-looking, svelte, classic, sexy. Go man go.

Well. So in the spirit of respectful collegial non-flaming no-trolls-here discussion, I'll have to take respectful collegial exception to some of the following Gretsch characterizations, and to ask (again without meaning to seem challenging) if you have a lot of hands-on experience with the...

That sure looks like a Teletype to me, or at least more than a passing nod at one. The body shows telltale and familiar signs of having a PRS wand (or carving knife?) waved over it, and isn't handsome (compared to a Tele) in the way that the PRS singlecut isn't terribly handsome (compared to a...

Thank you. That's quite helpful.

I need one too.

One hates to say it, but it might be about time for a new original body design from PRS. Fender has numerous, at least 4 of which are category-defining icons - and they keep trying with others. Gibson has more than that. PRS started strong with its basic and ubiquitous distinctive shape, and...
