I don't buy things with gold hardware because they aren't really gold, and they tarnish. So therefore they suck.

I would sell my spleen to own a Splawn if that were the case.

Sign me up!

Know whats funny? Im wearing a bright orange Tiger Cubs shirt right now-wore it to class and to a nice restaurant-and know whats cool? Its like 15 years old and it's not like those old-timey shirts companies are bringing back(the vintage shirts they sell at Walmart and Hot Topic) that the indie kids wear. No one has an original like mine and I've yet to see it in a store.

Simply put, I don't give a fuck.

Edit: is it the same with guitars? only black?

Gold hardware

I've grown pretty attached to my Oni now, I could see how in a few weeks, I might ban anything that is not an Oni from coming into my household.

Dan, better start making amps, picks, cables and pedals, then.

Seriously, with all of the extremely fine builders out there, I think it's a travesty that companies like Gibson can still be the biggest manufacturer after 50 years of almost complete creative stagnation.

"50 years of almost complete creative stagnation."

LOL!

Hey duder, I'm indier than thou. My obscurity > yours. I love subcultures.

I also really dislike Dimebad (hurr) gear. He was an average guitarist, but after he died he had the word "overrated" taken to a new level. Dean making their name off of him is just ridonculous. I don't care for Gibsons because of the price to suckage ratio, even though some of their guitars are pretty nifty and I just won't touch Strats. No I'm not some whore for double EMG scooped mid sound, I just personally hate everything about the strat. The neck, the fretboard, the pickups, the tone, the jack, the trem. Pretty much all of it, yeah.

Mm, I can smell the negative rep incoming.

that would depend on if it was something i actually liked otherwise, in which case i would consider it for laughs.

Come to think of it I have an orange shirt too. It says "death row inmate... I've got nothing to lose". For got about that one.

Guitars? I had a burgundy Jackson for 10 years that I just recently painted flat black So yea pretty much. My UV and ESP are black. I have a natural wood bass! I haven't painted my acoustic black yet

Let me take this opportunity to agree with the Gibson haters! FUCK em! They're expensive and poop compared to guitars half their price. Let's add most PRS guitars and Fenders that that list too. ESPECIALLY fender fucking relics!!! $15000+ for guitars that I could make by buying a strat, dragging it behind my car for a few miles, pooping in the electronics cavity below the pickguard, and pissing on it to wash off the road grime from dragging it. After the rust from my pee kicks in that's one beautiful guitar!

BTW, if anybody wants me to make a relic out of their guitar I'll do it for shipping costs only and you'll have a $20,000 guitar!

I don't really have any reasons for being against gear. I've heard some good stuff sound bad, and i've heard some lesser-known stuff sound bad.

im not against orange, gibson, strats, etc. i have limited experience in trying out gear compared to most of you guys, which might account for this.
