Which guitar did he screw up last thursday? Some people say the POW one, but then they say he used it on sunday. But he said one gtars screwed but might be able to get fixed. If its the POW one, I'd cry if I was Cheney

Another one of them there fan clubs. Umm, a couple of the founding members are on here. Meg for one. At the September 20th show they got Chris to hole up a sign saying See You on Riotersonbroadway.com or something along those lines...
Just check out TLE's top 16.

You guys do know that guitars can be fixed don't you?

cammo

10-20-2006, 09:44 PM

Wasnt there 2 guitars with 'POW' on them? For some reason Im positive he has 2 WF's with POW

mel_bound

10-20-2006, 09:45 PM

no, 2 WFs, one with POW and a small skull with the card suites around it, and another WF with 'Bloody Mary' on it and a big skull sticker.

Hanley

10-20-2006, 09:51 PM

Wait, do we actually know for sure it was POW that got busted up? I really hope not, but has it been confirmed that it was indeed POW?

hillaas

10-20-2006, 11:09 PM

It was broken, probably not 'busted up'. I'm sure it has probably already been fixed or will be fixed asap.

thelivingvines

10-21-2006, 01:21 AM

I know you can fix em... but they'll still show the scars. You just know that theres damage under there and I think thats what hurts.

Fritz

10-21-2006, 02:43 AM

haha i wasnt at the gig but i got informed about it. he missed the guitar and caught it by the strap and stripped the strap screw holes real bad thats all

10-21-2006, 12:20 PM

that's no so bad. as long as he didn't fully dent the main body or something then I guess its not so bad. still sucks though I guess... wonder if he has stopped doing that trick on the back of this...

Well for all fans sake i shuld hope not. with the damage i imagine theyd jus fill the hole with sum wood cement type stuff and then she'll b rite 2 go. i imagine on the falcons (and all other hollows 4 that matter) that theyres a block on the inside so that the screws got sumthing 2 join 2. am i rite???

Ah, I knew something would happen one day, it always stresses me out when people throw their instruments. I'm glad the damage isn't too serious though.

well I'm glad it hasn't been smashed to pieces :)

hehe the first time I ever saw chris throw his guitar, I immediately took mine out the backyard and threw it up as high as I could :p I caught too (luckily)

haha wow, i would be too scared to even try that with my guitar. I'd drop it for sure! [or it'd land on my head and I'd end up in hospital]

A bit of wood putty will fix anything!

thelivingvines

10-21-2006, 08:13 PM

I would happily do it- but only with any fender that someone puts in my hands. Especially strats and teles. the more of those that get smashed the better.

Bah, Fender's are great! I'm getting my new Strat over the Christmas holidays, yaaay. :p

10-22-2006, 12:15 AM

i can imagine,about wrecked guitars,does anyone know how to fix guitar strap screws? the screw just comes off when i pull it without using strength.

Kevin

10-22-2006, 12:30 AM

fill it in and drill another hole i guess, though i'm no carpenter

Fritz

Believe it or not but the screw holes on gretsch hollows are not reenforced!

_jimmy_

10-22-2006, 09:17 PM

wonder if chris is gonna throw his signature guitar when he gets it...

WHITE FALCON

10-23-2006, 10:08 AM

hahah i highly doubt it if there are only 5 being made at the start!

how good must he feel that gretsch are making a signature chris cheney model!

will it come with those stickers lol or is it just going to be a normal falcon with his customizations to it. and what about the pick ups because at you said a while ago mick, he always chops and changes his pickups? ahh it would be so awesome if it came with those stickers! gotta love POW:D

State_Of_Emergency

10-25-2006, 08:47 AM

Yeah, they'd be a loada money probably if they are only making five.

STICKERS!! yay, yeah.. that'd be a good idea, and even some you can buy for your gtar (like, no CC one, but your own)

Madaussie

10-25-2006, 12:21 PM

YOU STUPID NOOB!!!,stop calling it a POW one and call it by its real name.its a gretsch white falcon...NOW GET IT RIGHT YOU NOOB!!!!!!!!!

Madaussie

10-25-2006, 12:23 PM

and in case you guys didnt know....the POW isnt a sticker!!!!!!!!!,its just a black sticky tape POW....god such noobs

Kevin

wow someone isnt hard out. your an idiot, ofcourse we know its a white falcon. no need to start abusing people just because they have a nickname for it to tell it apart from the others. and its electrical tape :p

_jimmy_

10-25-2006, 04:43 PM

mad aussie... mad indeed. anyway yeah does anyone know if chris names his guitars? he probably calls the one with pow on it "pow"

Fritz

10-25-2006, 05:11 PM

when he talks about the POW one to me he always refers to it as 'my main one'

dirty man

10-25-2006, 07:15 PM

well, lets jsut put something in the obituaries :P

WHITE FALCON

10-25-2006, 07:48 PM

i rekon POW is a good name for it!

you know what we should do!

get pictures of all his guitars that we have seen him use and name them =D

yay something to do on the muso's corner

kempos2112

10-26-2006, 11:56 AM

has gretsch put out any official mention of the cheney signature? ihave yet 2 see anything official about it, seams 2 be all roumours, and then what woudl they have as the tail pice, iv noticed he likes 2 swap them over a fair bit?
spose it would be a bit like the brian setzer signature modles, nothing like his main one at all.

thelivingvines

10-26-2006, 06:27 PM

yeah, there's a part of me that hopes they don't just make a white falcon, switch the pickups and stick some copies of the stickers on. I think that would be a bit half arsed. At the same time I hope they don't come up with something really ugly *cough* bo diddly* cough* what?.... no, I just have a cold at the moment.

_jimmy_

10-26-2006, 10:53 PM

haha bo didley, he looks as weird as his guitar.

thelivingvines

11-11-2006, 07:39 PM

spoke to chris about it last night- he told me it's done and in America being approved by the Gretsch chaps over there- he told me it's NOT, repeat, not a copy of his white falcons with stickers and the same set ups. Can't remember exactly what he told me as I may or may not have had one or 5 by that time and it was very loud- he definately said it's got TV Jones Powertrons on it and that he was really really pleased with it- he sounded really excited to be able to play it anyways. Just thought I would let you know.

WHITE FALCON

11-11-2006, 09:05 PM

fuck yeah!

thanks for telling us!

when do you rekon they will anounce it?

how did you speak to chris lol?

thelivingvines

11-12-2006, 01:37 AM

he was at the bar during the less than jake set in glasgow last night. whole bunch of stuff i wanted to talk to him about; didn't really want to overcrowd the guy, ya know? he looked pretty tired out- in his own little time zone- but sorta wide eyed and amused by his surroundings i guess. He was being an absolutely top guy to everyone. good on him.

Jawn

11-12-2006, 01:47 PM

I may be wrong, but if the bo diddley signature is the rectangular shaped one, than that is one of bo's trademark guitar shapes. Why would you have a bo diddley signature and not make it look like one of his famous guitars?

I still think its ugly, but they had no choice.

mel_bound

11-12-2006, 02:18 PM

There's the Bo rectangle one

Then there's the Billy-Bo one.

dunno which one The Living Vines was talking about...

WHITE FALCON

11-12-2006, 04:42 PM

they're both ugly as man!

Jawn

11-12-2006, 04:43 PM

But... they are both what Bo Diddley used. Whats the point of buying a Bo Diddley signature model if it doesnt even look like his guitars??

WHITE FALCON

11-12-2006, 04:46 PM

thats true. i wasnt really taking any notice of what anyone was saying i was just commenting on how gay the guitar's look :p

I know.. I was just saying it's an ugly guitar- it was a joke but I'll forgive you for not picking up on my dry sense of humor.
