If aliens listened to our current top 40, they'd think that the entire planet was populated by sexually ambivalent robots with ethnic insecurity.
Somebody needs to add (with springs) Alaska and Hawaii to that guitar!Originally Posted by Fripperton

Several guitars in different colors

You could have a bunch of dangling commonwealths too.
Might look cool under stage lights.

Billy Gibbons also had a Texas-shaped guitar. If Alaska and Hawaii aren't on the US guitar, maybe they should chop Texas out, too.
Nothing succeeds like secesssion.

since someone had discussed the specs of AV's,
i recently read the book "the strat chronicles" by wheeler. the book includes interviews with some fender insiders, like Leo and others. anyway someone was discussing how the AV(the reissues) evolved and were initially not given much attention or chance for success. as they became popular fender could not keep up with demand, AND initially were not all that accurate due to machine & production issues. However, after retooling sometime in 200X (i will look up the exact date) the reissues were considered more accurate. the book never discussed what they improved exactly.

I never got why Bo Diddley had Gretsch make him a guitar shaped like Colorado.

He's also got one shaped like Tennessee, sorta.I never got why Bo Diddley had Gretsch make him a guitar shaped like Colorado.
Maybe he was planning on having all fifty states, if he'd received all his royalties.
Hawaii might have be difficult.

I could see an acoustic with island-shaped muti-soundholes.

I believe that somewhere in the agreement of The Republic of Texas's annexation into the US at the time there's a stipulation that Texas reserves the right to secede from the US at any time it wants to.
I could be wrong, but we DO have our own power grid (the Texas Interconnect) and are the only state allowed to fly our flag at the same height as the US flag.

Not complaining. It's actually quite entertaining

It would have been nice if Ken and Jeff respected that line.

And New York just looks uncomfortable, unless you're a lefty.

I would think that California would be the left handed model

CRAP!
You mean to tell me it's "Dredge Up an Old Thread for no Apparent Reason Wednesday", and I missed it?
Why didn't you guys say something?
A friend in need is a good reason to screen your calls.
I think New York, Massachusetts, Washington and California are all lefty models. Canada, and France can be the lefty countries. I'll take an old-fashioned, southern-rock righty like Alabama, Tennesee, or Texas! Now if you strung California upside-down...
...and on the 8th day, God created the Super Reverb and there was ROCK, and it was GOOD!

Texas is a double-cut.
Now Michigan, you guys have that handy single-cut design.

I'd bet Prince would play the Indonesia-shaped model.

I'm guessing the lefties come in Daphne Blue and the righties are Dakota Red?

I think Michigan is a double-neck...Upper and Lower Peninsulas.

Hmmm...where's that "Truth about Mexican pickups" thread?Better yet, how's Jamie Van doing these days?

How about a "That's not a real Tele" thread?

That's cuz Texas is farkin huge. Bigger than most countries.I believe that somewhere in the agreement of The Republic of Texas's annexation into the US at the time there's a stipulation that Texas reserves the right to secede from the US at any time it wants to.
I could be wrong, but we DO have our own power grid (the Texas Interconnect) and are the only state allowed to fly our flag at the same height as the US flag.
That's silly. Just cuz a thread is slightly older than the rest it's no longer the same thread? Especially if someone is new and wants to discuss it
Dude, I'm joking. If I really thought it was stupid I'd say:
Man, this is stupid.
Just like that. See?
It's pretty plain there, eh?
A friend in need is a good reason to screen your calls.
It's like a whole other country...at least that's what the tourism council sez. Of course, having 7 distinct geographical regions in one state helps that line of thought.
Better 'n I would've put it...I would have said:
"No matter how many times you kick a turd, it's still gonna stink"
Probably wouldn't have been as effective though...

Man o Man you guys are FAST!
oops!
Judging by the times, It looks more like I'm a little slow!
I know, I took it a little serious
I've heard it like 19,000 times on various forums
people'll get uptight cuz a thread is slightly older than a month or something
Could there be a pattern here?
Where's my winkie?....so to speak

Indeed, nerdiness is catchy
thats so true. i have an epiphone les paul that plays better than any gibson ive ever playedA good guitar is a good guitar. I've played $10,000 dogs and $200 beauties. Find one that plays good.
You're right. And I've owned both.
My 'old' Les Paul: (Had to sell it to pay the rent in the 80's)
My current EPI: (Before the M22 pickup change)
And after the change:
