Axe Clearance at Walgreens

I guess flippers are really good for power chords

 

what a shame, esp. given their reputation and price.

 

It's my understanding that Epiphone puts out more consistent quality than Gibson.

 

In addition to my squire affinity strat, I have a low end epi acustic (dr100 in black) that I just love.

 

There is probably a good deal of truth in that observation, but I, personally, would take a quality-made (once you find one!) Gibson over many other makes. The challenge is locating one.

 

I always thought that this commercial for Nivea Men's Body Wash picking on Axe is really funny, if you have never smelled Axe it kind of gives you the idea. No offence to anyone who uses the stuff because I have tried it to (hated it however) but this is the mentality of most of the guys I know who still use the stuff, kiddie pool man.

 

Well done….

I thought this was a troll post. Axe?

 

Nope, just a penguin post. We don't troll.

 

Penguins don't troll, THEY STROLL!

Dude... delivery.

 

Aren't they supposed to look like they're having fun?

 

I would say forget the Gibson (for acoustics) and get a Taylor. The Taylor guitars are really nice. Just my opinion. But they are pricey!

 

When I smell Axe, it makes me think about my un-glorious days in Jr. High at school dances. I would spray some of that stuff on and get shot down by every girl. In high school I actually started wearing regular cologne and Old Spice Aqua Reef deodorant. I still got shot down at dances, but not as badly.

 

Taylor makes a fine, consistent guitar (I've owned 3 of their models in the past: 812 Grand concert, 555 12-string, 814 grand auditorium), but they have a completely different tonal palette than most Gibsons. Not bad; just different. Brighter, some say 'sterile'—but their 12-strings are some of the better mass-produced models available.

Just don't spray Axe on any of them. It may corrode the finish or void the warranty….

 

Tho I hear it's good for loosening rusty bolts.

 

Congrats on the new tires. I see, not just fellow Canadian, but fellow Albertan. I think I've seen snow every month of the year too, just not all in the same year. I think I've ridden my motorcycle every month of the year too. Again, not in the same year. Funny thing, I actually am in the market for a new axe.

 

I think the wood type has a lot to do with the tone. Most any guitar with a cedar top has a softer and more mellow tone than a spruce, which definitely has a brighter sound. I've noticed the same thing in mountain dulcimers, cedar tops almost always produce a more mellow sound. There's a shop in Townsend, Tennessee that makes dulcimers by hand. When the owner can find some old chestnut beams in old houses or barns, he buys it up for his dulcimers, and that has a great overall sound. Of course there's much more than the wood type that contributes to a great sounding instrument.

And I've heard that spraying Axe on them does not help the tone at all!
