Somebody needs to add (with springs) Alaska and Hawaii to that guitar!Originally Posted by Fripperton

You could have a bunch of dangling commonwealths too.
Might look cool under stage lights.

Billy Gibbons also had a Texas-shaped guitar. If Alaska and Hawaii aren't on the US guitar, maybe they should chop Texas out, too.
Nothing succeeds like secesssion.

since someone had discussed the specs of AV's,
i recently read the book "the strat chronicles" by wheeler. the book includes interviews with some fender insiders, like Leo and others. anyway someone was discussing how the AV(the reissues) evolved and were initially not given much attention or chance for success. as they became popular fender could not keep up with demand, AND initially were not all that accurate due to machine & production issues. However, after retooling sometime in 200X (i will look up the exact date) the reissues were considered more accurate. the book never discussed what they improved exactly.

I never got why Bo Diddley had Gretsch make him a guitar shaped like Colorado.Originally Posted by Kap'n

He's also got one shaped like Tennessee, sorta.Originally Posted by NeoFauve
Maybe he was planning on having all fifty states, if he'd received all his royalties.
Hawaii might have be difficult.

I believe that somewhere in the agreement of The Republic of Texas's annexation into the US at the time there's a stipulation that Texas reserves the right to secede from the US at any time it wants to.Originally Posted by Kap'n
I could be wrong, but we DO have our own power grid (the Texas Interconnect) and are the only state allowed to fly our flag at the same height as the US flag.

CRAP!
You mean to tell me it's "Dredge Up an Old Thread for no Apparent Reason Wednesday", and I missed it?
Why didn't you guys say something?
A friend in need is a good reason to screen your calls.
I think New York, Massachusetts, Washington and California are all lefty models. Canada, and France can be the lefty countries. I'll take an old-fashioned, southern-rock righty like Alabama, Tennesee, or Texas! Now if you strung California upside-down...

That's cuz Texas is farkin huge. Bigger than most countries.Originally Posted by NTBluesGuitar
That's silly. Just cuz a thread is slightly older than the rest it's no longer the same thread? Especially if someone is new and wants to discuss itOriginally Posted by telecast
Dude, I'm joking. If I really thought it was stupid I'd say:
Man, this is stupid.
Just like that. See?
It's pretty plain there, eh?

It's like a whole other country...at least that's what the tourism council sez. Of course, having 7 distinct geographical regions in one state helps that line of thought.Originally Posted by BlueFender
