I have sold dozens of desirable guitars and amps over the years once I found the honeymoon was over. (Or in some cases I might have needed the money ) I honestly don't think one size fits all and I feel it is important to open oneself up and find out first hand what may work best for you and if it don't work out send it off to someone whom it may work out much better for . In addition to that , I needed to take a good hard look at what gear I was buying and using based on the fantasy of emulating my guitar heroes. Thankfully that phase ended about 20 years ago for me.I don't care what guitar , amp ,or pedal any one uses including that modern blues guitar dude Joe Banana ( sp ) ? I heard he bought up in bulk lots of the available vintage guitars and amps and got Epiphone to reissue some of those instruments using his name. Now they charge more for them today then what they cost back in the day . I'm sure there a few that are nice ...buy hey talk about a racket Having said that ! I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to have both experimented and discover first hand what works best for me and what doesn't .... all the best, Kenny

No More Banana Pie for U! until you learn how to engage your loved ones in public with the proper manners and courtesy ! Kenny

I heard after he loosened her dress and placed her zipper in his mouth for safe keeping , A group of real jealous monkeys wouldn't stop reminding him that She is so out of his league it's ridiculous.....So Yeah ! I get it now .... Of course he didn't want to hear what they had to say about it . Either way he lucked out big time ! Here she is waiting for him 😍 Kenny

I don't miss my Old Marshall , I can get by when I play out using a 1966 Fender Vibrolux Reverb or a Rivera Fender Super Champ ! BTW , Normal volume on a Marshall is 10 🤣 Kenny

Whats the deal with this monkey ! He has the pull tab of somebodies zipper in his mouth and he don't want to hear about it ? Kenny

Yes I have a plan ! It's called " Say Hello to my little friend " If that fails I still have The Chunkendales to fall back on Kenny

Yeah ! everything I ever posted 😜 Kenny

I know these are nice guitars , yet there are days when I like to play guitar only in my boxers . On the days when I'm doing laundry..... I go commando "Kenfucius say " It is one thing to be hung like a mosquito . It is a whole other thing to remove all doubt ... Kenny

Here we have it folks ! The 2023 winner of the all you can eat pickles , beer, and ice cream diet ..... 😁 Kenny

My very first top notch guitar I bought from We Buy Guitars in NYC . A 1960 Gibson ES 335 in Cherry Red w PAf pickups and custom birds inlay 'd on the finger board ... The Guitar had belonged to Henry Gross and Henry was standing right there talking with a We Buy owner when I checked it out his former guitar ...they both even laughed .... After I played it I told them I needed to walk away and think about it ... An hour later I came back and bought it 😃 It cost me $599.00..... this was in the 70's .... Nowadays an all original Gibson 1960 ES 335 dot marker w PAF's fetches .... Low price 40 plus grand ,.... Mid price 50 grand and they go up as high up as 100 grand ... It is not even about the money for me as I have owned dozens of guitars that wound up being worth that much and then some once the vintage guitar prices exploded This was all done at a time when you could buy a brand new Les Paul Custom for a Grand ....or just a little north of that .... I made a stupid move and traded it for a one of a kind Vulcan Guitar that was built for Peter Frampton ....The Luther couldn't comp him since just in materials alone he was into a few thousand so I took a chance and traded my ES for it .... That's the one that got away folks ...It has been over 40 years. I have tried to forgive myself for that . Some days I can ...some days I cant ....waaahhhh .... If anyone here is listening ! I will gladly pay you the money to get my old guitar back on Tuesday if I decide to play the lotto and win . all the best , Kenny

This year I let a few things go . A super rare 50 watt 2 X12 Marshal combo , a Vintage Modified Jaguar , a Washburn J-4 ( Howard Roberts Inspired Jazz Box ), and a smoking hot Dearmond MT 75 T, Every thing I just listed I had for more than 10 to 15 years plus w the exception of the Jaguar .... The Marshal I had since 1986...so yeah I can feel the OP 's pain , all the best , Kenny

+1000 I an beyond fed up with having to deal with all of that 😉 It kills my free spirit and creativity . Kenny

Ya ! we nose U a nice guy ! Kenny

Woah ! after hearing E.T. the Walrus ! I wonder if I should also consider adding a subwoofer E.T. ain't got much in the looks department so we can forget about spandex and jewelry .Yet he certainly has the right voice for Death Metal 😉 I would love to hear what the other guitar player would play with E.T. Kenny

Nice post and a very nice picture Rain ! 🙂 I went M Audio around 2005 ...A few of the M Audio products I still have are a Delta 1010LT , an Audiophile 192 and a Key station 49 .... Kenny

Oh My ! here we go again 🤣Apparently he is so talented as an accompanist he can make Polar Opposites sound "pretty good" (In this case I'm using the words pretty good metaphorically ) Madam please don't call me Roy ! My name is Matthew Quigley ! Talk about an attempt at the impossible sounding good ..... He may of actually did her a little bit of justice ...if you can call it that Last but not least ..some fast talking auctioneer cowboys .This one seems like it could be a cool genre in real life . All 3 have killer rhythm chops . I didn't forget about getting replacement monitors . In a few weeks when my money frees up I hope to resume my search . In the mean time I can use a good laugh . Can you ? Kenny

Nicky! ( whom I don't know personally ) is at a friends house playing out of my friends Dumble using a vintage Gibson ES ....also owned by my friend .. The Dumble was gotten years after I left NYC so I never got to play out of this amp. The Audio and video was captured using only an iPhone ...no DAW involved . Sounds pretty good to me considering ..... My friends u tube channel has a lot of videos from national amp shows featuring name boutique amps and builders 😉 Kenny

+1 one of my faves Kenny

Kenny

Is that a pretty mouth .. ..Or what ? Huh ? Kenny

Yes they have done well for sure 😀 Kenny

I'm back to using my headphones for now . They are ATH-M30 's . I'm OK with it for now ... all the best, SPARKY 🤪

I'm still figuring out what to do over here when it comes to finding a set of monitors . . I don't dare plug in my amp or play my acoustic guitar since Apt living has really cramped my style when it comes to my music in general After years of trying , I learned how to read lips. Now I'm able to watch TV Late at night and understand what the show is about .🤣 I'll be back to run some brands and specs here once I do a little more research and figure out a budget . all the best , Kenny

That's what I thought too🤔 Its a conspiracy I tell you 😄 Kenny

Yeah ! I hear you . I ditched the virtual beer mug plugin that turns all the fugly people at the bar during Last Call into into Super Models ! I'm still looking to get a new filter over here myself .The Shamu's have been busting through the filters I had been formally been using . What did you do ? Show them your copy of The Kama Sutra and offer to demonstrate ? Hhhmmm 🤔 3 cute normal sized ladies in Vantucky ? Something sure sounds fishy about that one . Let me get back to you.... I'm going to have this capable NCIS L A agent investigate and uncover the truth about the 3 skinny women in Vancouver claim ! Kenny
