@TomsPedalDemos I think high-end multi-FX have always killed the pedalboard for modulation, delay, reverb, pitch shift, and some specialty FX.
I'm not running a Boss DD-3T if I can run a 2290. Or a Holy Grail if I can run a Bricasti.
@BriansElectro ESP, check
SLO, check.
EVM12L cab, check (you need roadies - 12Ls are HEAVY)
H3000S, check. But the loop on the original SLO is shit so you have to use it as decor rather than FX. Bummer.
ART nope.
With a modern SLO that would be a nice rig plus two useless ART boxes.
@Mikehomeseller Beck is shockingly overrated. Whatever problems Page had with performing on heroin, Beck had far more problems stone cold sober. Like 2/3 of his recorded output is abject shit - out ot tune, out of time garbage.
Plus Page has hundreds of studio credits, some on notable tracks.
@UndercoverIndy Very nice. If they would get around to doing the Explorer version I might buy. If they'd put stainless frets on it I would buy.
Vs sit on my leg funny playing live though. It works for lots of people but bounces around too much for me.
@Mikehomeseller I like Zep, but no. Celebration Day was a shitshow however nostalgic it was. They're not a $200 ticket let alone a $1000 ticket.
I'd pay $1000 to go back in time and hear a good show in '72.
@VintageRockN_85 Fortunate Son is a laugh, and not a good one. It's a millionaire singing about his misfortune - the '69 equivalent of listening to Paris Hilton complain.
La Grange is at least an honest song about a whorehouse, even if it did put the ladies out of business.
@TribalGuitars@UndercoverIndy If your nut has problems, it will have problems with the string butler or the string thang or string trees or whatever halfassed solution you come up with.
If your nut does not have problems, it will continue to not have problems without any of those things.
@UndercoverIndy There really isn't anything else going on. That headstock design works correctly for numerous builders, including all the major pre-war US builders.
Then there's a marketing effort to profit from those who don't understand this. And that marketing effort has had some success.
@UndercoverIndy It's amazing how internet marketing can create a "need" for a totally unnecessary product.
Every acoustic steel string guitar since God created CF Martin has the same break angle and string angle at the nut. It's not a problem. And it has nothing to do with Gibson per se.
@DrGuitar In marketing class, absolutely. In music class, no. The Beatles were incompetent musicians (although George Martin was a beast) but Brian Epstein was an absolute genius. He created (and arguably perfected) the boy band marketing model.
@mccogdog @TomsPedalDemos At least for me Elixir is way cheaper over time. EBs are nasty black oxide after one gig. Elixirs last literally tends if not 100x as long until I finally break a high E at the saddle.
@TomsPedalDemos Elixir 10s on almost everything. They basically last me forever without rusting. Hundreds of hours.
The White Falcon gets 11s. The Heritage Eagle gets 12s with a wound G. The acoustic gets 11s. All Elixir.
