Pretty guitars.  He lights up talking about what that guitar can do. :D

He's holding a pick with that right index finger.  I was having a Jerry Garcia moment watching his hand.  Yeah, we still have the same hair cut.  Must be a St Louis thing.  Or he goes to Sharon too.

Cool, Gretsches have a great tone and as he says, it compliments Slash's very well. His improvements make a lot of sense to me. I noticed it was throwing out of intonation when he hit open chords though... he did mention he uses thicker strings on the bottom, maybe the the demo models they gave him were just set up with standard .010s.

Richard is probably excited.

Officials announced the planned construction of the largest entertainment production services and rehearsal facility of its kind in the U.S. The 32-acre, $111 million Gateway Studios development will include a 330,000-square-foot complex, employ more than 100 highly skilled music and film manufacturing and production professionals, and see the manufacturing, building, testing and launching of globally touring musical acts and movies. The campus, located at 900 Spirit of St. Louis Boulevard, is projected to be fully operational in the first quarter of 2023.

Can't help but think they are moving California into that area.  A Napa Valley type tourist trap is being developed SW of there.  Hope they realize that area was under 18 feet of water during the last levee break.  But it does have a small airplane field close by and it's only a hop, skip and a jump to Nashville.  Highway access that can send you off to any where in the country.  We could get a lot of tours kicking off right here.
