Yes, my understanding is that the 330 is basically a Gibson Casino.

I'll be doing my part to make it difficult.

The 330 is a full hollowbody and the 335 is a semi-hollow. Major difference. The trapeze seems to be more common on a full hollow like a 330, but I don't think you can conclude that trapeze on a guitar shaped like a 335 = 330.

Me too. Unfortunately, my dog chewed it into a million pieces before I got to listen to the whole thing.

This thread, which I started, makes me realize I haven't gone to see shit this year. To my credit, I did recently host a show in my basement, and I have played more shows this year than the last two years (probably combined). Still, I need to go see more bands.

A couple friends of mine were on the hunt for a sitar a couple years before the internet took off. Somehow, they managed to find a place to buy them, and bought five or six of them, which they were able to sell at a markup almost immediately after they arrived. So they made their money back and each got a sitar out of it. It's amazing the kind of hoops you had to jump through if you wanted any hard to find item before the internet came along.

That thing looks like it has a well earned and beautiful patina.

Who is it? It's not showing the top ten.

Yeah, if I can get tickets I'm there. I'd rather drive four hours and see a Ryman show, and have a weekend in Nashville, than drive 15 minutes up I-285 and see them in a new shiny (literally) venue one county north of me. Plus, Atlanta audiences can be pretty obnoxious.

Most girls are pregnant by 16 these days. I saw it on tv.

For most people Wilco's age, it has.

I'm hoping to go to one of the Ryman shows, too. Is the Ryman reserved seating?

I think I'm going to like most of this album.

Turntable slipmats might be a good item to bundle with the LP. Do they have anything like that in the Wilco store?

Maybe. Lou Reed's New York album is an hour and is a single album. I guess it's sort of a gray area.

Maybe the artwork we're seeing is the slip cover (that might be the wrong word) and the O-s are cut out holes which reveal part of the art on the booklet cover.

Seems kind of weird this thing doesn't come out until this string of dates is almost over.

16 minutes before lunch break*. Thanks. *Also a better album title.

I almost went with that. You're probably right.

Heritage headstocks are shaped differently than Gibsons. That's definitely a Gibson in the photo. I'd LOVE to have an older 335. That might be my "if I win the lottery" guitar. This thread is the first time I've ever heard of a 555, but I don't know all that much about the Heritage brand.

Get well Soon Everybody makes me feel like I'm being talked down to. The Whole Love seems like a Celine Dion album title. Yeah, yeah, it's what detectives say. Guess what..."It's What Detectives Say" is a better album title than either of those.

The verses sound like Like a Virgin.

Les is on Mule Variations, too. I forget which tracks.

Today it's SG, but only because I heard it more recently. Next time I hear WS, it'll be my favorite. Until I hear SG again, at which point SG will be my favorite.
