not forty yet.

i wish i COULD play... you know more than just iron man and smoke on the water... and like one second of Jefferson Starship's "Jane". LMAO

Well, you can ask Randy Perry, he has actually played it. My ex husband, who is a guitar player, says that it plays like a les paul... and it's really, really heavy. But the neck is real thin and it plays nice from what i understand. i know it's got a GREAT tone on no matter what amp you play through... from the best to the crappiest.... on this particular guitar, Steve (the ex) took out one spring and then changed the string from the 10's that came on it to 9's, so then we had to float the tremelo (which was a bitch, scuze the language). Also, it holds a tune forever... it never goes out of tune. lol.

I got a floating bridge too.. Never out of tune.. Except today, something weird happend, I did some whammybar things, with my hand on the bridge and suddenly my sound went like a bomb falling out of an airplane:
PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Now everything is out of tune. Darn. :)

Hm, I dunno. You should be quite honored that some young men are saying that you're cute. As for just wanting the guitar, preferably you would be included or no go. :lol:

I was surprised by how heavy the guitar was. It made me wonder if it was built to Randy's specification - I can't see why they would not be? You pick one of those up and you almost forget to play it... cause it's so cool to look at.

Huh? Are you hinting at photo of you with nothing but your birthday suit on? That sounds very interesting. :D As for sleeping naked, I think you can guess what I'd rather sleep with. xD

My god. What the hell happened to her? She used to somewhat hot for a pornstar, and now she just looks like a hasbeen and the RR isn't even the best looking version of it. I still say you look better with that guitar than she does. :O

This trend towards photos of "hot" women with guitars is pathetic in my book. If your guitars are good, guys will buy them because they are good. If you need a wench to hype your instrument, that's just sad.
