Thanks, David!

Hey there, fellas. Just in case anyone's interested, I'll be holding the Guitar 1 chair for the remainder of the 1st national tour of "Tina - The Musical". You might not dig it (frankly, it's a pretty riveting story, obvs), but dollars to donuts your wife/significant other will. Yes, you will...

It could be the venue, too. Some just have dead spots where the acoustics aren't good. I don't bother anymore, but I used to walk around the house during soundcheck to see what my guitar rig sounded like in the room. Often, there were dead spots.

That's a NO from me, dog!

LOL! Yes, you might be right about that! Truth be told, I like Mustaine/Megadeth and I REALLY like Vai, too.

That is fantastic....

I can do every gig with a standard-wired Les Paul. I pretty much want every guitar to sound like that, anyway, so why bother playing anything else? So, if I had to unload everything else, I'd keep those. OTOH, I feel badly for guitars that get left out and try to use the gig-worthy ones with...

NO.

I think there are differences in hardware in these units. By that, I mean how robust the circuit boards are, the quality of jacks, pots and switches and how they connect to the boards, etc. In other words, how likely are those things to fail if you drop it? Those things, of course, may or not...

All good choices. But I don't think any of them were writers, so unless you've hitched yourself to someone who can write....
