Some lovely pics and tasty gear. Looks like shred sticks are well out of vogue.

Sat in Motel with slow WiFi, taking about 10 mins so far to download the first few photos. I see they are about 4MB - 16MB each !
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Possibly the greatest post I have ever read. Except for Nik's corner gag.

It’s a 63 Vista Sonic. I’ve had it for ages, I reckin it has a great sound. Has the Wild Dog setting. Are you familiar with the Burns stuff?

Enough to know that one of these was Chris Hazelwood's main guitar at the peak of King Loser. Fucking love that band and kudos to you for a tasteful gat.

Hot damn!

Finally looked at the photos.

- Amazing gear guys!! That Burns! That Eastman....the PRS...the the....everything.
- Those are some tidy boards dudes! Nice pedals to boot. Totally envious.
- Great photography!

Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to post!

Do you know where it came from? Looks like the one I had when I was 17.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
