also the comment about what people are playing. I gather a number of brit yout bands are now playing Tele's, and players in some other obscure sub-category of rock (emo-shoegazing-depresso-starbucks barista tunes?) are playing Jazzmasters. Dealers have told me the calls they get from youts on these guitars, vintage variety, have gone up.
I'm not sure I can give too much weight to a comment from someone who describes young people as "youts" ..
.. but the "emo-shoegazing-depresso-starbucks barista tunes" quote is classic .. that should be next in line as a motto if we ever get bored with "continuously curving" .. maybe an option on a T-shirt range.

Everytime I look at that site I fall in love with this one even more.
Bloated Myxolidian Blues Pricks with Money. Bah.
There is that element there, but there are some guys worth reading as well .. some excellent techs, some good luthiers like Koll .. and some real heavy hitters musically too, LA fusion guys, some good jazzers like Zucker .. David Torn posts there also. With 10K+ members you're bound to get some dead wood, but there is some great stuff in there too among the "OMG I got a new Eternity" posts.
Distance-crunching honcho with echo unit.
