$3,000 guitars should be fu*king illegal. There is a price point, imo, where it just CAN'T be any more well made. The top of the line parts / U.S. labor for a guitar manufacturer add up to about $1200 street price. Anything in excess of that is just marketing games and corksniffer bullsh*t. Like, for instance, the "PRS Private Stock" guitars.....$10K+ for a new axe! lmfao.....

"..oh, but the wood was aged for 2000 years in Christ's Tomb, so the sap has crystallized therefore improving tone..."

@bullshitproof technically, natural overdrive from a tube amp is a type of distortion, but guitarists like to use different terms for different types of distortion based on how they sound and/or how they are achieved, but even then this is a simplification since there can be a lot of middle ground between what people refer to as overdrive, distortion and fuzz. basically there's no point in arguing about it.

[bullshitproof]

@TheCollisionofworlds lol, stupid kid with every response you prove my point. At least make up something smarter, and atleast try to make it decent. You white trash 14 year old.

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@bullshitproof wow way to state a valid point. i would say seek help for some form of mental retardation but instead i think it'd be better for us all if you would please jump off of a fucking bridge.

[bullshitproof]

@TheCollisionofworlds you fucking idiot-ass nigga-ass cunt-ass piece of chicken shit! By overdriving tubes you get OVERDRIVE you fucking 13 year old novice! You`ve got absolutely no criteria relating to amplifiers you jackass. You can go fuck some dog shit u terrorist! fuck you nigga!

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@bullshitproof OF COURSE HOW COULD I FORGET THAT TUBES PRODUCE CHANNEL B!!!!!! you really are retarded arent you? by overdriving tubes you get distortion. that's where the name comes from. call it overdrive if you want because it doesnt clip like distortion does but it's still distortion because you're distorting the signal. and no i'm not a novice so you can go fuck yourself you cunt.

[bullshitproof]

@TheCollisionofworlds you`re a jackass. Tube amps produce channel B, That`s what happens in the tubes you could call it TUBE distortion, regular amps create OVERDRIVE with capacitors, and distortions pedals create distortion. Plus this guy isnt using a tube amp, it doesnt have any compression, but don`t worry ur just a novice.

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@bullshitproof no they produce a distorted sound. overdrive is what's happening to the tubes if it's a tube amp its still a distorted sound so no need to be an uptight prick

[bullshitproof]

@garyjfoster well if u mean distortion then its most likely out of a pedal, amps produce overdrive.
