It's all tube but about 10 years old. Dad had it.

It's a great sound. I have it miced and a vintage Sure 55 to sing into. We rock at my shop! Just got all the cords down to ELO Turn to Stone. Also have a custom Martin and a vintage '65 Guild studio guitar. Good times.

funny.. my second (or third?) guitar was a Guild, no kidd, model Aviator S, chemical green color now that I remember well lolll at that time... wow

Here goes the True & Ultimate Poor Mans Poorche, btw. Right there in red in the corner of my Nerves Fixing Kit.

Timco, same here mate.... good'ol rusty Made in the USA Jackson guitar with a RANDALL 100w tubes - tube-powered only shuts down the world around me 15~20min daily! hence the reason I was asking what you were doing with yours! Got all of the trashiest metal band's tone you can possibly think of here, allllll saved in that little RP500 pedal kit. I recommend (poor man stage sounds x1,000)

About the only label you put on a boxster is that it might be considered an old man's car. 80% of my customers are men between 40-65, 15% younger Mexican men and 5% young white males. I've never once had a woman show up and buy a part for her boxster. I did have one customer that I think is a woman in "transition" but I'll put he/she in with the 40-65 crowd. I don't care what your sexual preference is but I think I have good gaydar and I've only had a handful of gay guys buying parts for their boxster. I think the only people who label the boxster a gay hairdresser's chick car are people who are jealous they don't have one. I bet if you gave them a boxster, they would be right on this forum praising how much they love their boxster

loll yea that’s right (sorry for shattering your vision, Tommy!). Racing superbikes @ 320km/hr two weekends each month of the year, base jumping twice a year (off to Tibet with mates in Oct2016), archery, Rottweiler’s owner and fanatic. Oh and yes, trash metal… gigging regularly here. ANYTHING that gets the bad toxins out of the system works for me, normally.

My next hobby are South Asian produced Cocaine and the prostitutes that goes with it but my dearest wife here keeps reminding me that I really shouldn’t – she says I’ll like it too much and hook (?!?!).

Hiding my true personality and eccentric tastes driving a poor-chick car lolllll

My Kerry King riff teacher (you’ll particularly like the lead singer in that vid):

Awesome Vid Fred. Yes the lead singer was great. I didn't even know they had Slayer songs on guitar hero. Shows how much I play video games lol. Reign in blood is easily the best trash metal album ever. Too bad the wife doesn't share in my enthusiasm in the genre of thrash metal.
