@SKT

I totally forgot to update you on this.

Slash bought it.

@ricardodarmali those look great. I need to get mine off to IH for a crotch repair, I’ve just been procrastinating. I miss wearing them.

@Denimminer great pics, I need to get mine back into rotation. I’ve been focusing on my 666S-21’s lately.

Any eta for a restock on these in the slim tapered cut?

orders for all cuts in this denim are with factories, but no ETDs on them yet

Any updates on a restock?

@Fadez I haven’t talked to my buddy this week but I believe Joe Walsh is in the process of buying it. I’ll ask him the next time I talk to him, I’ll probably see him next week.

@JunkPants yeah a respected vintage guitar dealer is brokering the sale so it’s legit. Vince Gill is also in the mix now, I’m curious to see who ends up with it.

@popvulture I have pics but I’m sworn to keeping them to myself right now. It is literally mint. No fading. No finish checking! The guitar looks new, the case looks new, every hang tag is in the case and they all look new. It has the original strap that looks new. Completely bonkers.

@popvulture said in Guitars anyone???:

That’s pretty wild — curious to know if any of the red is still intact. Maybe so if it’s been sitting in a case all these years.

Since I don’t belong to a Les Paul forum, I’ll post this tidbit here because I’m dying to tell someone. A little birdie has told me that a dead mint, practically unplayed, one-owner 1959 burst has just surfaced. Not documented in any of the Burst books, this is one of those that was unaccounted for that everyone fantasized about maybe still being out there somewhere in somebody’s closet. Mint case and hang tags even. Absolutely flawless. Keep an eye on Slash, Joe Walsh, and Joe Bonamassa, one of them is about to add this guitar to their collection for a measley $600,000. I’m sure there will be a few magazine articles coming out in the near future about it once the dust settles.

@Jett129 just straight up loud-ass rock and roll, as it should be.

Anyone who hasn’t tried an Eastman guitar is missing out on probably the best Gibson-style guitars for the money on the market. Near-custom-shop quality for less than a standard USA model. Just picked this one up and I’m beside myself at how killer of a guitar it is.

My current primary rotation

These three get the most attention these days but I have a few heavily modded Gretsch Electromatics and a couple PRS CE-22’s as well.

Been waiting for these for literally years at this point and due to a recent job change I’m currently broke.

Damn, I hate to hear this. Condolences to Pauline and the rest of his family and friends. F cancer indeed.

Awesome, thanks! I totally missed that.

Text is very jittery under my thumb when scrolling and trying to read. Very annoying to lose my place and refind it constantly.

Also 2 bars at the top and 1 at the bottom constantly moving is also very annoying.

The jittery text is really a deal breaker as I feel it's migraine inducing as well as extremely frustrating.

It's like trying to read with 3 strobe lights in your face and the book is moving.

Yeah this is driving me crazy too. I’ve never been a fan of “infinite scroll” forums for this reason. I think having everything organized into pages is much more streamlined.

Also is there a night mode option?

Is there any way to collapse topic categories on the home page? I was able to do that on the old forum but I don’t see a way to do it now.

Oh man. It’s been a few days since I’ve been on the forum so I just saw the news. Damn, Filthy. You were a legend around here, and will continue to be for a long, long time. So sorry to hear this news. My heart goes out to his family.

Damn @neph93 you’ll be missed while you’re away, I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and send positive vibes your way. Mental health problems are no joke, I know plenty of people who have suffered from this illness and I know how tough it can be. You’re well loved around here Rueben, and for good reason. You’re a great dude and a great ambassador for this forum and the IH brand. I’m glad you’re lucky enough to have a health care system that covers this illness. I wish you well and look forward to your return, the forum won’t be the same without you. ️

There’s a new Superblack Selvage in the works that I’ve been waiting for for at least two years. It’s finally in production so fingers crossed that it won’t be much longer.
