I was NOT saying you were WRONG, or had written the number WRONG!
Before you jump down someones throat, do a little research.
And since when has it been my 'thing' to critique other peoples posts from months ago? If you mean I join in with the guys when they are having a laugh, then shoot me for it.
What [U]REALLY[/U] is your problem with me Sam? I'm the same as every other guy in here, a guitar lover. I never came riding in on anyhigh horse, nor do I 'critique' anyone knowingly. I do have a slightly off-the-wall style, but that's just me. You find me one post where I even as much as infer I'm any different to the rest of the guys, and I'll apologise. If I am ASKED, I will ANSWER. I get a better kick out of helping young guys and new guitarists, just like most of the veterans in here.
I've worked myself into the ground, since I was 16 years old in this business, and I'll still doing 4-6 gigs a week, simply because I've put in the time. When most kids of ten were on the fields kicking a ball in summer holidays, I was in my bedroom, making my fingers bleed. Work will NOT find YOU!
So if your problem with me is based upon the fact that I have made a TINY bit of ground in this business, and managed to feed my family, don't imagine for a minute that it is because I sit criticizing people. My childhood was a horror story all of its own, but I got out of there under my OWN steam. I had to cos the alternative didn't bear thinking about. If you think I'm blowing a gasket here, you're right!
If I were a young lad, and bumped into me, the last thing I'd want to do is heap disrespect on that guy. I'd think maybe I can actually learn something here. Like I did with older musicians when I was a kid - respect, learn, reap the rewards. Best thing I read all day, is Magic addressing Big Bob as 'Sir', and hoping he'll still love his guitar when older. RESPECT! And because of that, Magic will always have mine. It works all round you see!
By the way, Mr "oooooooo big difference" there IS a difference. Same as the ES-120 isn't like the ES-125 - THAT is why they have different model numbers, fittings, finishes, etc. I only highlighted the number cos those numbers...........Oh, why am I even bothering?
With an attitude like yours, there's no wonder you're stood in the shop drooling over decent guitars, rather than owning them!
DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO REPLY! :mad:

Don't worry man, I won't Bother to reply to your post.
Honestly for two reasons,
First of all I know that I might go overboard and Say some very hurtful things towards you that I might regret.
Second of all I refuse to stoop down to your level, Making personal attacks, insults, and putting someone down.
Although I admit It would be very easy to do, The reason Why I don't is because I have respect for you and everyone else is in the forum... and I think people here know that cuz if I didn't every other post I make here would be a argument :D
But let me just say this: If I was older man and a "professional" like you and I came on this forum,
And some Punk Ass 16 year old came on and said some things to me. I would brush it off and dismiss it, Because I would think "Oh he is just some 16 year old kid, what does he know about anything".
I wouldn't waste my time being all hostile, trying to put him down or tell him how much of a loser he is.... Because he probably wouldn't care.
And I sure as hell don't
Think about it.
That's all I got to say on the matter.
