Hey! Wait, I got a new complaint! Forever in debt to your priceless advice.
But your sidejack is not nearly Kurtdzy enough...

Made me think of this, sorry...

I like it, but in reality I'll never get one. :x

I had one of their hi-flyers and it really was a lovely guitar. I could potentially see myself owning another in the future, and I do have a weakness for teh maplez. Pretty low on my priority list though, plus their Customer Service apparently blows so I'd rather not support them with my business.

Dodtz has this crazy kurdtz artwork book. i was reading it intently saturday morning when he was sleeping. i just picked it up to fuck about with, but after i read like 3 pages i was hooked.


its got so much info about an entire other side of his life that wasn't music. its an amazing book. i got to ask him what it was called.

I like it .. I bet it's much better than the original Univox .. I'll own one ..

Cobain used Univoxs and Mosrites frequently . I want to say he had a Univox in the Bleach era along with the ET-270. He played what was cheap and he could afford .. Days when offsets and shortscales were uncool.. Pre-Hipster era.. :D
