It sure is. I am a HUGE Mastodon fan, among so many others, but I'm not a real huge fan of signature guitars. It didn't matter anymore when I saw that sexy, sexy silverburst though
Believe it or not, Mastodon is going to be local to me this coming Saturday. I have scheduled a lesson/hangout with Billy K and then doing the VIP meet and greet/soundcheck/backstage deal for the second year in a row....I could have scheduled a lesson with Brent too, but I decided to spend that cash on a pit ticket for when Slipknot comes at the end of July. I figured Brent has such a unique style that I probably wouldn't take much away from the lesson, whereas Bill seems to come from the same school of music as I did. Being as I've met them before, I didn't feel too bad about skipping Brent's lesson, and I know that I'll have the chance to get the entire band to sign the guitar.
Unless something changed from last year.
Shoot, that would suck to show up to Billy's lesson with Brent's guitar, and only get Bill's autograph on it!
My next amp goal is to build a DSL40 head - from a Mission Engineering kit, then add two small 'MG' Series 4x12 cabinets, loaded with (8) WGS Reaper 55Hz speakers.

that would be a very unique rig, cant wait for that build !!
I will take a great playing knock off over a sub-par, high dollar brand name guitar. Maybe Slash would chime in here???
I need it to earn me a living....that's my evaluation standard.

That’s freaking awesome! And I felt the same way about the Richie Faulkner V, usually I stay away from sig guitars, but I just had to have this one and it does not disappoint!
Hell if I could score a lesson or two from Richie I’d be all over it. They were in Austin when I was meeting the production company that took me on, just didn’t have the money or time to go see them.

What a night I was invited to fill in lead guitar for the president of the local motorcycle club's band
My 1965 SG Standard was shorted out at the input jack so I played this cheap squire strat first time in my life
I didn't bring a back up guitar. Through my guitar rig it didn't matter I sounded like my 7/1957 Les Paul Gold Top
I'm not kidding. I'm in two bands now. So I have to play eight sets on 6/22/19 My band then their band.
What fun to play with two other guitar players and keyboards.

How did Sundragon replicate the Supro Coronado Jimmy Page used on Led Zeppelin's debut album? Here's the story.

There ya go!@@! Awesome!!!!! That's how I like to spend my time!!!!!
so..........your saying a cheapty squire strat sounded ------- GOOD?!?!?!
well---imagine that...............
Everyone who plays my Black Les Paul and my Gold Les Paul swears the Black one is the real Gibson....
I often get hired as a fill-in for a missing member in a live situation, and sometimes in the studio for the same reason.
The most work I've ever done in a single day was last year when I covered guitar/backing vocal spots in 4 different casino bands - at 4 different casinos - all in the same day.
