Re: NGD…

The Jackson VV is a case baby. I look at it now and then.

Vic still looking at a way to break into my house for it though! :P

I did nearly buy a PRS 24 SE a couple of weeks ago but the pawn shop couldn't find the matching case. It was in great condition and only about $US350.

Re: NGD…

Very cool. Glad she’s a decent player.

The Washburn Wonderbar. Quite the complicated piece of gear. Hope she stays working, as I doubt you’ll get any parts easily.

Kick ass buy though.

I have 11 guitars… and that’s 11 too many!

Yes! There's no doubt Bobby would have had a click in his ear to get the timing right for the backing vocals.

I never liked that they did this. I prefer the "grunts" from a live performance.

At worst, maybe some guys in the crew singing live to fill it out... like how ex Dream Theater keyboardist ...
