I've never worked in an aluminum foundry where I witnessed a 45 pound aluminum ingot fly 35 feet into the air and put a huge dent in the metal roof because it had a water pocket inside of it that flashed to steam and exploded.

Hey man, can you do a shootout on solid state amps if you can access a few? Havent seen a good demo on solid states in this metal genre.

[@Margilio5150]

23:09 I think there’s a point to make on your example of “those are my shirts”. Which makes me think I wouldn’t use this as a negative argument. (Unless it violates an NDA). In fact I’d question: How come we can use the whole “Made in the USA” Selling Point for Heritage guitars (in Kalamazoo Michigan, by the same people who built Gibson guitars), or for any other small builders in USA but it cannot be used as a positive thing for Indonesian, Japanese or Chinese guitars making Schecter, Fender, PRS, Solar? At the end of the day the important thing is the people behind the brand, the passion they put in their products, the quality and the customer support you get from them will be a reflection of that.

[@Wejohnsn]

I was considering this LP style guitar but after this video I cant. I love my HB Deluxe. one with stainless steel frets and ghoto tuners. one with 24 frets and active pups. got waest creek sg style frets too small necks bends too much. I find HB is good stuff. I love my jacksons and HB.
