"Vince, have you ever tried playing an expensive bass?" - Polarbear.
"And isn't that the finest acoustic bass guitar feedback solo you've ever heard?" - Billy Moose.

I know... and someone went to a Fitzcarraldo level of trouble to build this in Siberia.
Having said that, I have a soft spot for the Zoot suit Gibson, not that I'm going to save up for one or anything.

Looks like much of downtown Auckland
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.
It's the Barbara Cartland signature model. Comes with a White Fox fur and diamond strap.

On another forum, PRS wood ratings was described as a couple of guys who wiped alcohol rags across incoming lumber and graded it according to what they saw (AKA subjective as hell.)
Personally I'd post other things as gear porn.

You mean a couple of highly experienced luthiers visually grading the grain.
Well, how else do you do it?! Scoffing at that is just a bit dumb, honestly.
yeah I have to agree, how else could you do it? Actually theres probably a decent way of doing it using computers and visual recognition technology, but give me a couple of guys whose job it is to check these things any day. I wouldn't think it was that subjective either, if they check every piece of wood I would (no pun) imagine they are exceptional at what they do. Like tea and wine tasters etc
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
The wood is utterly incredible. Some of the combinations, thinking of the Cartland model here, are visual indigestion but it doesn't take away from the artistry.
I want to repost this one. It's sublime!
