I'm an electrician, so if I can't rewire a guitar I quit at life. I've been reading up on painting the body, definitely a long process. If I can manage to get a decent body for cheap, I'll end up with a tv yellow les Paul.

Have any of you guys ever rebuilt an electric? I was going to buy a hardshell case (about $80), but for $150 I can get a case and an Epi Les Paul that has some wiring issues. I'm thinking of breaking it apart, rewiring it, and giving it a new paint job.

I'm split on the MinETune. You basically push a button and it tunes for you, but I think they increase the price because of it?

Good ones exist, I've managed to find a few. My worry is more about playing in front of anyone haha

I like to pop into stores and see what they have for lefties since they're tough to come by in my area. $750 for a 2012 Gibson SG Tribute. Siiiiigh. I'll let myself buy it when I'm not too much of a pussy to play in the store.

It's actually funny you posted that because these are the knobs I bought http://www.allparts.com/PK-0142-023-Bell-Knobs-0-11-Black_p_2830.html

Alright if we're posting pics, here's my Hellcat And here's my Epi LP. I pulled off the white pick guard and swapped out the orange knobs for some black ones.

The police dropped the charges because his wife wasn't willing to cooperate and supposedly fled the country.

So Dana White is bringing back Thiago Silva because all charges were dropped. That's kind of disgusting.

I think more than I'd like haha. I've got a pretty solid mid level right now, so I think I'll just keep my eyes open for a deal like I did with my acoustic. Have you been taking lessons at all or just figuring it out? And how was your experience buying online? I'd be so worried about getting a beater.

That is the exact Gibson I want. Problem for me is finding lefties on the used market is a pain in the ass. Nice grab. Not disagreeing with you, but wouldn't an Epiphone Studio be a better comparison to a Gibson Studio?

When I was looking into mine, everything I read and all the advice I got was that the Epiphone Standards and Studios were outperforming the Gibsons. Not going to complain at all. I got my Les Paul Standard for $400ish. Not that I can really tell the difference at this point in my playing, but Gibson really seems to be shitting the bed lately. I'm not into Fender much. What notable differences would you say there are between the two brands?

Good for you. I just picked up my 2nd this weekend. I managed to get a brand new Tim Armstrong Hellcat acoustic-electric for about $200 under store price online. I LOVE playing it. I really like acoustic. I find myself searching for guitars all the time now. You seem to be way more into gear though, I wouldn't even know where to begin. I found black knobs for my Les Paul Standard on ebay, and pulled the pick guard. All black with cream accents, looks so nice. I've seen pics of the model you got, good looking guitar. I have to disagree about the Epiphone/Gibson comparison made here. Everything I've seen says the Epiphones seem to be better manufactured than their comparable Gibson models. Gibson's quality seems to have taken a hit, but the Epiphones are getting solid reviews lately.

He actually tweeted that he wound up having to "fight for his life", which makes it seem like he was attacked and was protecting himself, from his point of view. Considering he had battered her before, and also KO'd someone at a porn convention or something for no reason, I'm betting that didn't happen.

Meet you there in 5

So may have been posted already, but here's footage of what Deadpool with Ryan Reynolds would've looked like http://touch.denofgeek.us/denofgeekus/#!/entry/deadpool-movie-test-footage-leaks-is-perfect,53d68d6f025312186c33acd2

So I read a breakdown of the longer trailer they showed at comic con, and Warner Bros uploaded a "comic con" trailer, but it seems to have cut quite a bit out. Particularly parts on Imortan Joe. Anyone seen the extended version?

This has got me ridiculously excited.

Was going to crack a joke about the family infiltrating a gang, but then I realized that was a Family Matters episode.

Yeah that Lesnar sure can't do any damage on the ground I vote Don Frye. I wouldn't even shit in the bathroom stall next to him.

Just watched the game on PVR. Neuer is a god damn beast. I am ripping my hair out listening to people saying he deserved a card for that knee. That was a perfect challenge, no idea why goalies aren't more aggressive in their box like he is.

Everyone I know that's seen T4 has just torn it apart as a giant waste of time and money. One guy thought it was an amazing blockbuster, but he's that guy that likes shit and hates good stuff. 22 Jump Street was unreal. I actually liked it better than the first.

I did this a few years ago, and now I've just switched to streaming. Much more convenient. But when I did rip my DVD's, I believe I used DVD Shrink.

I was thinking the same. Kept thinking why is he coming so far out to header the ball. I mean he hasn't fucked up yet so far but its a risky thing to keep doing. Every single one of his challenges were a great play. He didn't hesitate the rush and got to the ball first. It's risky, but if you know your timing it is really effective.

wtf was with that non-call on the bear hug against Nigeria
