yeah shady

the strings I use are boomers...8 dollar strings. The ones that came with the guitar though lasted a good half year after I took the guitar home, which is surprising considering the age of them.

And yes...I would love playing a five string Les Paul. I think it would go over quite well, and I would rule at playing it...

Joe,

You and Vai should put together a tribute tour for Jason Becker. I'm sure you know all about him. See if Marty Freidman would be into it. I think it would be amazing if you guys could perform his songs in front of the G3 crowds. He'd probably be thrilled. Just a thought.

STEVEE T: you asked about brazilian beach, i know that you'd like to see some nice women with bikinis ! lol, but in this link you will see amazing photos from brazilian coast ! (no women ! ..) ;-) and in the right side you can click and see many others photos! i just love Brazil ! that's why i'm sharing with you and everyone that would like to know more about this beautiful place!

cuthbert: Hows your baby doing? you havent told us much about her/him. And those pix from the Tsunami are crazy.

estrela: yo, nice pic of Joe in his studio.

Stevee T: what the?? why dont you reach 100 already? come on.....

tastey, you're like a few million posts behind. tell us how you really feel about the new Vai album. I think its pretty good, except the vocals. Joe sings a lot better than Vai.

Oh yes, I am going to see BEATALLICA LIVE!!!!

hey shady

if you're breaking a lot of strings on your les paul, look into graphite bridge saddles made by graphtech. www.graphtech.com. Ever since I put their string savor saddles on my les paul, i havn't broken a single string. If you're breaking a lot of strings at the bridge, this will probably solve your problem.
