I have never made a secret of my Goth penchant, Jake!!! I even bought these guys' current CD!!!

Herr Biersack (what a name, he sure doesn't look like it!) and his fellow mascara-lovers sure did a lot of listening to HIM (the band, not Ritchie Blackmore). Probably too catchy for real Goth lovers and then that heavy metal guitar solo, but I like it. Is this what happens when American youths try to sound Yuropeän?

Parental advice: There is nothing innocent about model trains or the people who collect them.

That does look nice. Chromed TB Plus or something else? You would think he would mention if these were upscale replacements, especially at the asking price.

Too bad they didn't put a Badbird bridge under that bridge cover instead of another three pointer.
...and yes, nickel is the way to go.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the pups. It really does look great!
