Wait... you guys are all making fun of him?

Am I the only one who's making $180/month payments to this dude for the next 3 years? Inconceivable!

The guy is fascinating in a sad, sad way. Someone said it earlier but the really perfect part of it all (besides the near abandonment of grammar, semantics, spelling, perspective, humbleness, and maturity) is an apparent lack of even foundational knowledge of what makes a guitar sound great. No thought or mention of pick-ups or such except a cursory mention that a guitarist will have the gear to make it sound good. And to think for about the price I paid for my last Gibson I could have bought that.

Hey, now we don't need to start Asheville/NC bashing here. This guy would be just as deluded in Eureka, CA or Topeka, KS. He may in fact have some real problems like actual retardation or autism, but I doubt it. I think he's just some loser who finally made something after probably years or decades of talking about it.
