Got to meet Jon at RSguitarworks and what a cool guy. Never got to visit his museum of Revolutionary war items. The guy is a patriot there is no doubt about that. RSguitarworks are the best in the business and I am friends with the whole crew and been a customer for many years.

Even without tubes, cabs, speakers and microphones I managed to get a pretty good IE-ish rhythm sound using just plugins. I'm sure a tube amp through a big cab would sound better, which is why that's the next thing on my shopping list, but it suffices for now. You can find an example on my profile. I think it works really well. Also, Jon is pretty much spot on about the low-output Les Pauls and the fat strings (or medium output in this case, I think of low output as single coils). It's funny how this kind of a setup is totally unorthodox for metal, yet it works so well for this kind of thing. Les Pauls can do the vast majority of genres.

Guitar companies can't generalized in the manner of, "Jackson rocks!" or "Fender sucks." I never noticed Schaffer's dramatic shift in tone, it always sounds like Schaffer when he starts playing. A crap guitar can sound like heaven with the right hands. I've seen guitars with amazing specs, but sounded like shit in some players hands, and vice versa. Basically the biggest and most important factor in tone is your hands.

And yes I guess there are some points of view I can't agree with you (and you couldn't agree with me). But there has always been the music. Today I was informed that you took part in this D.C. thing two days ago (storming the Capitol, do you remember?). I'm sorry Jon but if it's true, I can't accept this. I can't believe it. Sometimes people do stupid things, but this never should happen. Maybe I'm just a fuckin commie in your eyes - call me whatever you want, I know who I am. But I want you to know: if it's true, I'm completely disappointed about you. Metal greetings Metalhead_Metalhead
