Yep. A world where computers make the art and humans turn the wrenches is not the world I was promised.

Gah! I'm so gullible. I guess it's a byproduct of having grown up in an analog world. Back in my day if you wanted free artwork you had to hold your comic book page (aka "source material") and a piece of typing paper up against a bright window and trace by hand. Also, I don't think the picture...

Since we are already wildly off topic, I am going to tell a story you just reminded me of. It's a story of the best impromptu one-liner I ever delivered to a semi-famous person. I was at NAMM in...2019, I think. I was in the ESP booth, and who do I come across but Mr. Michael Angelo Batio. I...

Is that your artwork? Cuz dang.

My friend....you have homework to do. Watch the movie Princess Bride immediately. It is the Wizard of Oz of the 80s/90s generations, and quoted pretty much everywhere, all the time. (And just so you know, the correct response to this assignment is "As you wish.") And don't let the fairy-tale...

I've used an FM3 for gigging and recording for a long time. Every single patch I create, the first thing in line is a gate. I never even think about hum anymore. Sometimes I almost forget there is a difference between humbuckers and single coils. LOL.

Yep, those are "Eclipsed Block" inlays from the Meadowhawks. AFAIK this is the only non-Meadowhawk to ever get them. And dang. Is there any neck out there that is more off-menu? Answer: no. There are none more off menu, and it looks killer.

The consequence of not paying attention:

I did.

I am only in it for the love and friendships. :D

Nice! Looks like making those custom pickups for the Black Gold series has paid off for RS!

Not very loud. I'm going direct from the CaptorX, but there is volume in the room. This means I had to edit the vocal mic track to be silent during the guitar playing bits, and in the video you can hear a few times where I'm talking and playing at the same time (I'm very talented) and you can...
