I met him at a restaurant and the first thing that came to my mind was telling him I was going through a divorce. He had the same kind of “ooo” reaction and immediately look into my eyes and said some nice things to me. This video right here made me go back to that exact moment and how Tom was down to earth and very very humble when talking to a radom guy like me. On the other side, you are no stranger to him. In fact, the work you do is awesome, and I’m so glad there are people out there doing this kind of thing, I’m a huge huge fan so to have this kind of “deep” content on Tom that gear182 creates is awesome. Keep it going!

This is so cool you can see how genuinely happy he was when he saw it. So is it supposed to be a San Diego Padres/Blink inspired Starcaster as opposed to a ES-333 inspired Starcaster?
@slimkickens2 күн бұрын
The og 333 was Padre inspired, they just ended up with the cream stripe instead of orange for aesthetic reasons. So it's all in that lineage
