Listening through a lot of my earlier stuff this morning.
Before I got my tones captured and learned.
It's pretty raw and not even mixed well, but this song still gets me fired up.

Reminds me of walking along a long line of people as they each get to punch you in the face as you pass. The walk is the duration of the song that kinda violently walks along the beat. Kida like a Punch Line, I guess.

Let me know if you want my soft Dokken vocal for that. Lol.

Nice work. (y)

Only if you can keep the hard water deposits from rendering them useless... and AZ's water is often affectionately referred to as "liquid rock" so good luck with that.

Thats what water softeners are for.
Just be careful not to put too much. I remember taking a shower when I had a place out in Nevada. There was too much softener in the water and I felt like I was soapy no matter how much I rinsed off ... I felt like I just took part in a women's oil wrestling match at the Bada Bing Club ... was that too specific of an analogy?

Good stuff! And, is it just me or does that guitar look like it's covered in alligator skin? That would make it even more rare since gators love swamps and Arizona is about as swampless as it gets.

Yes!
I think that Gibson might use some sort of CNC milling process to rough out the shape. There are lots of round Dremel head looking divots on the face. It's quite 3d. With these models they just stop there and not sand it smooth for finish. Just stain it and then touch it with a sander.
I don't know that's what they do, but by looking at it and understanding machine work I'd say that's what happens.
The body is also not shaved at the neck junction, I'll get a picture of that part later for ya.

Some of the earlier models were called gator models. That's really why I think they look so cool, all rough faced and blacked out.

Very cool. There's just something awesome about a guitar that's visually interesting. Nothing bores me faster than a plain old orange burst Strat, Tele or Les Paul. With the technology these days, there's no reason to make a generic looking guitar anymore.
