If it's a Guild, then it's one of the deeper bodied ones, but I don't think it's a Guild at all. I think it's just your standard Gibson single cut big body ES-whatever with PAFs. That's the trapeze and TOM bridge they use, it's got the keystone tuners they use, and it looks like the inlay on the headstock is just the little Gibson torchy thing, not the larger Guild emblem.

It's hard to make out exactly because they're strangling their guitars so enthusiastically. They must have had headphones in, listening to someone else's music because I can't imagine any reason to get that excited about listening to the Foo Fighters.

I just discovered that the I-VI-II-V in that song sounds weirdly cool on a lap steel. But then I'm the guy that runs a lappie through a wah and heavy compression and likes it, so what do I know?

By the way, what is foo, and what does Grohl have against it?

Grohl maintains that the Foo are a barbarian tribe who killed his family when he was young. There are a few obscure texts that make reference to the bitter enmity between the Foo and the Grohl, but they're thought to have been planted by him and most anthropologists believe the Foo are just a Northwestern native myth.

There's something strange in your water up there, I know there is.

Sasquatch pubes.

"Foo" just means inventive music.

Somewhere there is a dickhead with tons of money and no damned brains who will buy this obnoxious piece of shit.

I imagine it would sound fucken 'orrible: gold is a soft metal, even alloyed up, and would damp the motion.

I don't think it's such a bad thing that it exists. If a person who'd want it exists, then I'm glad it's there, to warn the rest of us about the tremendous douchebag that owns it.

"And THIS is my GOLD GUITAR!"

"OH! So you ARE an epic douche!"

"Why YES, of COURSE I am!"

Maybe that's why there's four pups?

Wait, only 18 carat? Really?

Interesting site, Lester, which also led me to this.

That's something which might seem odd, if you don't know any Chinese.

The Dr. Rockso custom...

Styrofoam? It looks like it would produce banjo-like sustain. And be seriously neck heavy.

Er...how shall I put this?

If Marion Barry and Charlie Sheen formed a band, that guitar is what they would play.

So it's really expensive styrofoam. And they keep playing the same song on an on all night long.

There's A LOT of young blues guitarists out there right now trying hard to carry the torch forward that Stevie Ray Vaughan left behind. Most have come up short. New Mexico's got it's own young contender. I've caught him a few times and the kid's off to a very promising start (checkout from 1:25 on from the vid), but only time well tell if he becomes something really special... or not. Godspeed Ryan. Live from an empty parking lot in Albuquerque, NM....

(added bonus: at the start the sandia mts are in the background and you'll catch a bit of the awesome skies we got here throughout)
