A few months ago i found a guitar in need of rescue at the flea market. It was an Epiphone E series Bully, aka the cheapest SG Epiphone ever made. The pictures tell the story better than I can. This was what $20 got me, yes it's rough but everything is there, and it is straight. A ton of...

The modeling amps have gotten very good over the last few years, The Boss Katana is the industry standard at the moment. Good for at home low volume practice, big enough for small gigs. Boss Katana KTN-50 50W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amplifier Black | Guitar Center If you are old school like me and...

I have been playing on and off for 45 years. I will play for a few years, get some gear, then loose interest sell of most of the gear and then start over again a few years later. I am currently in the playing and accumulating swing of this pattern. This is my current lineup. And here is...

I always figured there was no such thing because once you find the mythical grail gun, there is no reason to ever get another gun and you can get rid of all those others.

I see plenty of 45xx series mags that are what I consider over priced at gun shows I smile and walk away when I see folks expecting a premium for them. They are not that common but they are not rare either. I buy the black follower models when ever I see them for $30 or less, maybe a couple...

I used to carry my old 39-2 regularly, still do on occasion.
