Not my thing, but I think it's cool that PRS will give artists a blank slate. It's not just a Custom 24 with different paint and a questionable inlay with the artists name on it.

Not the hair metal crap, but the actual 80s metal. I'm trying to figure out if it's on a bit of a comeback, or if it's a regional bubble I'm in. It seems like the kids who grew up with Rock Band (the game) are now starting rock bands. I'm seeing a lot of Priest/Maiden/Metallica influence, as well as...

Man dies in police shootout over a neighbour's tree trimmings... seems like a uniquely American way to die.

I've never considered that scenario and I'm not experienced with Miking my own cab. I doubt they'd stop using half stacks but what size cab do you find sounds best miked up, the 1x12?

They've gotten smaller, cheaper and with more options, but not better sounding. But digital distortion/amp ...

Anyone looked at a digital photo from 5, 10 years ago?

That's how I feel about modelling.

If left to my own devices I would only play my Les Paul. I tend to have a #1 guitar, for the last 22 years that's been a Les Paul, and when doing my own thing everything that isn't my #1 Les Paul gets ignored. The only reason I have a few options is because I play with others; therefore, I have a Te...
