    The Official Guitar Thread

    As much as I hate to say it go to a guitat center and pick up what appeals to you. Dick with them for a while. Then see who plays the kind of music that used that type of guitar.

In 2008 they rapidly got to the point they couldn't sell packaged subprime loans which when you can't see stuff it has no value so to speak. Of course at the rate things are going may find out everything or near everything some of...
