I've not owned a guitar with a blank board I don't think. I have had a couple guitars that might as well have had no inlays, being that they were so hard to see. But I agree with the sentiment that side markers are the important ones.
If I'm playing slide, I don't really want a radius much flatter than 12. if not, I can go pretty flat. Scale lengths I'm happy with anything "standard", others I don't really have opinions on.
So, I'll say "Who cares?"
How does that make you feel? Some people go crazy about tubes. But the reality is, if you can't make a good sounding amp with what is readily available, you can't make a good sounding amp.
Splawn Quick Rod for $600 Canadian.
I traded that for some limited run SG Special (Ebony with crescent moons), a Marshall Vintage Modern 50 watt and some cash
Sold the Vintage Modern for 1K plus a Suhr Riot Mini, traded the Crescent Moon SG for a Rack mount Dual Rectifier. Eventually traded...
Steve left a lasting imprint on the music scene and has been a positive ambassador for guitar. I don't see what else there is to worry about.
His tone and playing on Vince Neil's "Exposed" alone is enough for me to call him one of the "good guys", let alone all the other stuff. He has a varied...
I have largely been playing D'Addario for my playing journey. I sometimes will buy EB, GHS, Fender, I tried a brand called Knucklehead? once (Once as in 10 or 20 sets in bulk), I believe a set of 8s from Rotosound.
D'Addario gives me what I want without any screwing around. I play 9-42 in all...
Are you looking to sell, or just put some imaginary number out there? "I have an amp that Rig-Talk says is worth $1,000,000. But I only paid $250 for it" :p
We should put Megadeth and Metallica into the coliseum to battle each other, but then unleash some cryptic beasts on the "winner" to just get rid of them both.
Maybe Manowar?
I feel like it probably has a few factors. I recall in the manual for the Metaltronix M1000 I used to have I believe it talked about pulling two tubes and the impedance adjustment. (Something like running the amp at 8 ohms with two tubes was equivalent to running with 4 at 16)
I was also...
The name recognition is a significant factor, and Rockitt is simply not well known. There was a Rockitt Plexi sitting for sale here for $1500 CANADIAN (so like 1100 US?) for a long time and it didn't move for that price.
Friedman moves a lot of product, advertises like crazy, etc. But one...
