Read that Mika and Joe went to see Trump in FL. Said they don’t want to “normalize” him, but open a dialogue. So still call him a Nazi and supporters dangerous to make sure they are not normalizing him, and us. Great, so I can still ignore them.
At first I thought this was a post about the Democrat party.
SHIREHOME, pretty sure that was a Babylon Bee article—you know, something along the lines of “OK, you Hitler, let’s move beyond the election so that we can establish some kind of rapport. You know, we wanna be practical, even if you’re a fascist, race-baiting mysoginist. And consider yerself lucky that we’re even considering this generous offer you dishonest SOB. We know and YOU know that you need us…
DJT: “Who?”
Apologies to everyone else, but continuing my conversation with huxley:
Not really looking for another Strat type, but want a Les Paul type and PRS DGT SE seems to fill that bill. And $750 vs $3k… Thoughts on the two volume controls? That could confuse me a bit. I will out and about tomorrow morning so may stop in to Guitar Center to see if I can try one out. Here’s another review I found besides the one you linked:
@physicsguy: Sweetwater currently has a lot of Epiphone Les Pauls in the $500 – $1000 range, most of which seem to get good reviews. I personally haven’t tried any of them, but I’ve heard that the general quality of Epiphone has gone up in recent years since the new leadership at Gibson has taken over. There’s also a fair number of other Les Paulish models from other companies in that price range available. The ESP ones are quite nice, but they’re often more targeted towards Heavy Metal with high output pickups and the like. The Larry Carlton Sires seem pretty nice as a relatively inexpensive Les Paul style.
Miguel,
Strat is not $3k. New Strats are between $600 up to $1500 for custom etc. but the going price for a new Gibson Les Paul is around $3k. So the PRS at $750 is a deal for us amateurs, playing for fun types who want a Les Paul type guitar.
Nonapod,
Thanks for the tip. Those Epiphones are definitely worth looking into.
physicsguy – If you’re looking for something with humbuckers, consider playing one of the current generation Yamaha Revstars. They don’t have the cache of a Les Paul, but in terms of quality, the ones I’ve seen are a cut about Epiphone. The pickups sound great and they play pretty well once you get them dialed in, much better than any Epiphone I’ve tried.
That video was fascinating!
Thanks, neo.
What nice people. They both exude joy and maturity. Really interesting discussion. Several answers really surprised me, especially the question about medically repairing their sight, if possible.
So, saying that some Muslims organized and carried out attacks against Jews in Amsterdam, a statement which is true, is “anti-Muslim” propaganda? Sorry, Amsterdam Mayor, no sale.
Thoughts on the two PRS volume controls? That could confuse me a bit.
physicsguy:
David Grissom (the DG in DGT) plays mostly on the bridge pickup, so making that volume knob closest to his fingers makes sense.
Plus Grissom assumed carte blanche to evolve the original Les Paul controls to a new iteration.
It’s not a problem to me since I’m a beginner, but if I had been playing for more than year, I’m sure it would be annoying.
The experienced guitar guys I listen to said they would probably rewire the knobs to the usual Vol1 : Neck / Vol2 : Bridge configuration.

The TRUMP DANCE videos are taking over all over the world!

A strat is a fine instrument but $3.000 dollars!
Not as fine as a Strad (more like $3 million).

Alas you missed your chance for this Stratocaster:

Barry Meislin, the Mika and Joe meeting with Trump appears to be a true story.
