This from a guy who bought a 'vintage reissue' amp, and the irony meter gets
pegged again. I suppose that's symptomatic of a certain sort of
personality, thinks the brands and models of things he owns should impress
folks (based on the frequency with which he catalogs his guitars, amps,
cables etc. for us) but sneers at others who buy their own 'vintage
reissues,' do as I say, not as I do.

etc.]

Did everybody get that? Let's recap for those who can't follow Marc's
logic-defying leaps. If Marc buys a 'vintage reissue' product like an amp
cooked up by Fender's marketing droids that's cool because it's made by the
same company as the original. But if *you* buy a vintage reissue guitar
that Fender has intentionally given an aged appearance that isn't cool
because it's merely cosmetic, even if Fender insists they've duplicated the
original right down to the pickup winding.
I know what you're going to say, it does look as if how Marc decides which
is legit and which is bogus comes down to whether or not he owns one. Yes,
it does look that way, doesn't it. But what else did you expect from
someone who holds up his possessions like they're talismans with magic
powers that somehow transfer to him? After all, this is a guy who thinks
the brand of cable he uses is worth noting in dozens of posts.
Me, I'd never buy one of those 'aged' guitars because it would just make
people wonder how come someone could put so much mileage on a guitar and
still play so crap-awful. Perhaps that four-cat audience Marc plays for is
less judgmental.
Recently, I decided to re-fret the MIJ Fender Strat, I bought in 1985.
It's a '62 copy (they had to model it on something!), plain white,
with a rosewood fretboard. I'm left-handed, so I don't get much choice
in the way of factory productions. The original MIJ wiring and pickups
were weak and the original frets, skinny. I'm putting the medium-jumbo
Dunlop 6100's on that rosewood fretboard /great classic 'C' neck, and
just bought a mint-green 3 ply '62 pickguard (had to! the new pups are
all single coil and I'm replacing a Carvin C-22 'bucker at the
bridge). I'm really looking forward to the Lindy Fralin SP43 PUP set
going into this guitar! You know, I own only 3 electric guitars, but
THIS one stays in tune between playings better than the Gibson Les
Paul Custom and Gibson ES-335!
As to the modern "aged" marketing/sales bit, yeah, I've already
relayed my opinion of that whole bit. I think it's sickening. Real
poser / collecter can't be bothered with actually PLAYING stuff, in my
admittedly strong opinion on the whole gig. Like I said, I vote with
my wallet (don't we all?) and I vote against that noise, big time. :-)

Talisman, talisman, talisman.
I own cool stuff, I must be cool too, right, right?!?! Nobody laughed at my
cable, I "proved" how good it was by repeatedly posting the manufacturer's
ad copy, that's proof! It's a cool cable, so I must be a cool guitarist!
Right?! Hey, anybody wanna hear my Naval Aviator story again, how about how
far I can jog? All this stuff means something, right, right?! You people
have to be impressed by me, I read books with Latin on one page and English
on the other, wanna hear the names of some authors you never even heard of
before? Come on, somebody ask me about my stoic philosophy, come on, ask
me. Hey, how about my home studio, I gotta whole buncha cool stuff in
there, anybody wanna hear about my home studio? Hey, you over there, did
you know I used to be a stockbroker, no really, I was. Hey, come back.....
Holy crap, who the hell is this guy trying so hard to impress?
Pro sports is a business ... sportsmanship died
as soon as the first check was signed ... let them all do the
same pill popping ... Make all drugs legal in pro sports, advertise it
like ED pills, and make let those square jaw droids die of a heart
attack at age 27. Free up more movie time.
>Anything pure
NOS, reissue NOS, Limited edition NOS, like NOS, reconditioned NOS,
near NOS, similar NOS. vintage NOS.
The other ugly girls at Amp Designers Bar & Grill?

Sports...ex/ H.S. and College wrestling, = pure..."pro" wrestling? pro
everything now? impure. I was definitely referring to athletics in the
pure sense. I work out every day, my competitive sports days ended
decades ago, but I'm in great shape.
That level of purity takes honest hard work-- same can be said of
practicing music / modes / new chords / scales / tunes / compositions.
As to N.O.S. if it's a tube made in 1959 and has been kept in a box,
unused since then, that's what I'm talking about- as the rest, same
marketing shtick as "aged", -putrid. vote w/ your wallet man! mvm
