If we had the vast range of good guitars in the '60s and '70s. There sure weren't a lot available back then.

It sounds fantastic. Actually, all their guitars sound great. I am amazed how good they sound live. They didn’t have a single monitor on stage. Looks like we were at the same show, I believe Cory Harrison was as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pushing and shoving ensued. Not sure on the show you're thinking, but I was at Slipknot show around the time they started regulating general admission floor seats and a small riot broke out and the police were called in. As Nickyboy had mentioned, I don't recall any issues at this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Nickyboy had mentioned, I don't recall any issues at this one. Not saying there wasn’t one. I just didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. I always thought that all hell would break loose at Metallica shows, but in my experience, they’ve all been pretty laid back. I can tell I’m getting older though. We had pretty good seats. In my younger days I would have never sat and watched a show. I’d be on the floor. We made comments all show how nice it was to be in seats. I think I’m about ready to make the switch to white New Balance. 😆 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 The '59 LP that I mentioned earlier, once owned by Ed King of Lynyrd Skynyrd, was bought by Jason Isbell from Carters Vintage Guitars. The guitar is in amazing shape in the video I saw of the guitar. Not many bumps or bruises at all. Pretty amazing compared to how some of those old guitars look. Isbell also has one of the Gibson reproductions of the 'Redeye', that he sometimes travels with when he doesn't want to pay for another seat to stow the guitar and it has to go as luggage. He also said that, although the repro is a little lighter, he's fine with it on stage with the tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the real Duke Spinner Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 I like my guitar like Rodney King .. A few bumps and bruses are just fine. 😀😀😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 At first I didn't recognize Mark Knopfler, I thought who is this old guy. Then he appeared again before I realized that was him. Exceptional guitarist. I never knew Vox made guitars until last week, then noticed Mark has one for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 22 hours ago, Marvel said: Give me your thoughts I for one am worried about longevity and Humidity induced fragility over time... I have NO ISSUES with ANY existing forward shifted and scalloped bracing patterns that have existed for a century... I just can't see a need for skelentonizing. with existing bracing, you can see splits in the braces if there is trauma, with skelentonizing, how are you going to inspect all those little X patterns? I am a simple guy, give me a double or triple ought with a slotted headstock, 1-3/4"+ nut, scalloped bracing and a Pyramid Bridge... everything else are variables... top wood, sides and back and embellishments. one argument is that Violins have sculpted/skeletonized bridges and who's going to argue with Guarneri...

CWelsh Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 On 1/22/2024 at 5:49 PM, Marvel said: Why? Give me your thoughts They are combining the skeletonized braces with domestically sourced, sustainable tone woods. I wonder if the domestic tonewoods are heavier, needing reduced weight bracing.
