Harsh. Didn't even get a chance to welcome him and he went all CAPS on us, all of us to boot...

Must be having a bad day.

You might have tried defending your position a little prior to resorting to the all CAPS HUGE FONT F-Bombs.

Just a thought...

You're a Les Paul fan so you decided to join and post in the firebird thread instead of making any posts about your Les Paul.

What is your problem. I had just begun to post here and you sent me a message saying "loser leave". Well guess what, YOU have been reported and will soon be booted. Thanks for being so nice.

Rough draft. There's a guy locally who can make a stamp so it can be pressed into a leather strap. It needs a bunch of work, but I think the general letter shapes are there.

Yes, it just happen to be the first thread I saw. What difference does it make. I'm not close-minded. I like Firebirds, Les Pauls, SG's, Strats, Teles, etc. But my all time favorite is the Les Paul. You guys are horrible and I can't understand why you wouldn't even give someone a chance before you shoot him down.

From a psychological perspective, you hit it on the head. This guy sooooo desperately wants to be cool, and he will never be cool. Cool is not wearing a jeans jacket and smashing a guitar. "Cool" is something you either are or are not. You can't buy a cool personality.

Know your role, and know your limitations Henry.

Get over it, this is how things work in real life. Somebody didn't like what you had to say and made their assumptions, you could have made a a second post further explaining why you like it and what you think about it to prove you're not a troll or a mouthpiece, but you didn't. You flipped out and acted like a child.

Yes you did lie. You are also belligerent. You had no reason to call me a troll or send me the PM telling me to leave. What right do you have to treat someone you don't even know this way? How's the weather in Honduras?

The back stage is for advanced members, you are not here for the interesting sections, you are here for the polemic ones and the drama.

I did not PM, i posted a plublic message in your profile page.

Start by introducing yourself and then post your guitars and express the love you have for the Les Paul, not your troll love for this new failbird X in your firsts post, what did you expect?

And the climate here is dam hot and intolerable at 10.38 PM at night.

Re: New Gibson Firebird! What's your opinion?

Awful presentation and product for that matter. I was just making a joke about Prince this morning but I was only half joking. Regarding this Firewood X with the Heritage headstock. I always wanted a Heritage and now may be my excuse to get one, however the headstocks are the same! I asked them once to make me a 335 with the Gibson head and the guy said they were staying away from that, I guess for lawsuit reasons. Shame 'cause I could get them to build a nice ES Artist with these same FX and everything and it would ... still be Luddite Technology.

Edit: Oh, I should've introduced myself. I really go by Skydog. I'll post some pics of my Les Pauls sometime. But it's late.
