The Guitar Pron Thread
The witches at Fender have made several masterbuilts repros of guitars that no longer exist. That's the secret to the whole operation. (Those dudes go ape shit with the research. They contact owners, previous owners, people who owed the previous owners money, everyone. It's quite an ordeal. I hope one day they keep a lot of that research and compile a book. Would put that Guitar Aficionados tome to shame. )

Fleetwood Mac has fired Buckingham, hired Mike Campbell
Interesting video. Thanks. Lindsey with the cameras on him seems like a decent human.

Preach. Relatedly: The version of Silver Springs from The Dance is more great theater than great performance, and it's a darn great performance. I still get goose bumps when I see it. It's like Stevie is channeling 30 years of emotion to the point of catharsis. Add the fact that it's set to Silver Springs, a song that would have been on Rumours were it not for Lindsey's vote. And lyrically it's perfect. Stevie's eyes darting around unsuredly, maybe even insecurely, after giving Lindsey the business - Did she think she went to far? Did she not go far enough? Does she feel emotionally exposed? And Lindsey has to sit there and take it. "Thank you, Stevie!" Chills, man. The upscripted standing ovation is warranted. I'm not sure, for Stevie's part at least, it was played up so much as it was genuine expression. Apparently, up till even recently, he would do small things meant to fuck with her. Much of the time it would elevate to abuse. They should make a new album.

I saw them live during that post The Dance reunion tour at the Summit and they were fantastic. It's unfortunate what happened over the last 20 years. There are a few videos of them performing from the last few years, and you're right, Stevie's been hit hard (no pun intended). She may not have that magic in her voice, but it's still Stevie up there and that's something, imo. Getting old sucks, but I imagine getting old after a life of serious Schedule 2 fuckery is another level. Shame.

That's true. Some of Lindsey's stuff is uniquely Lindsey (he has such a unique approach to melody and construction). It would be interesting to hear that filtered through a pro like Campbell.

Nicks is the only other possibly transcendent talent to come through Fleetwood Mac (don't even start with me, Greenies), but I wonder where she would be had it not been for Lindsey and then, when she left FM to pursue a solo career, Tom Petty (and Petty's right hand man, Iovine). My instinct is that she is a brilliant clump of clay that needed to be molded properly, and lucky enough to have been the muse of two of pop's all-time greatest. I don't think I would feel cheated to see a FM show with only Stevie, though.

He IS Fleetwood Mac, imo. The rest are hall of fame players, buy none of them are hall of fame players without Lindsey.

This seems like the entirely wrong climate for Lindsey's Lindsey-ness to come out in the general public. His treatment of Stevie for the past 40 years, right up to recently, is going to place him on the Mount Rushmore of musical shitheads. It's Henley-level asshatery and he's largely gotten away with it. That might've come to an end the moment he filed the lawsuit.

These Go to 11 - The Guitar Amp Thread
I thought this was a humorous story, especially once you get to the attribution line. (From the origination story of the 1960 Fender Showman 6G14 taken from Amped.) (Side note: this book is the titties.)

I remember when he was a teenager. Geez.- These Go to 11 - The Guitar Amp Thread
PSA: Amazon currently has a copy of Amped: An Illustrated History of the World's Greatest Amplifiers by Dave Hunter used for $166. This is the first time in about a year the book has been available for under $250. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0760339724/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_GrzYBb0Q6GDXV It's not a technical deep dive but it's filled with a ton of great pics and stories involving the amps that have changed music, starting from early Rickenbacker, Masco, and Fender all the way to Soldano, Dr. Z and Matchless. It's quite a difficult to find book and something of a cult classic. This is as cheap as I've ever seen it on any platform.- The Guitar Pron Thread

He did eventually bust out his trusty LP that he's been using for years. (Dude's only 19 so that a significant portion of his career!)- Texas recruiting notes 2019

You cats might dig this. At the show last night, homeboy walks out into the crowd and jams, then walks into the street, then back up on stage. People were going crazy. He encored with Purple Rain (which I might upload as well) and the crowd was all into it singing along. If you dig blues or want to see what the younger generation is doing with it, check Kingfish out. He might give you hope for the future of our species.- The Guitar Pron Thread
Kingfish was tonight. He wasn't playing a Les Paul like he normally does, but a fiesta red Strat. He's obviously on a blues journey that will ultimately end like these journeys usually do, with a maple necked Strat. Rosewood is just a Les Paul player's gateway neck. He ended the show with a Texas/OU prediction.- The Guitar Pron Thread
I asked if anyone wanted to meet up there this year but everyone was like fuck no. Johnny Hiland was just walking around chatting with everyone. I got close and tried to absorb some of his energy. He was all, "the fuck you so close for?" - The Guitar Pron Thread
