How can you not notice that axe, even if it's not your color? |

| She should get that affirmative action rig oil sprayed for the winter might keep the rust off of it and make it look a bit better anymore - maybe install a brush guard or bull bar on Melissa might clean her up a bit too... |

"October is breast cancer awareness month and this is your chance to contribute to a very worthy charity and score an amazing guitar! ONLY TWO of these Adamas 1598-MEII Melissa Etheridge signature model 12-string guitars have been custom built in PINK for the Hard Rock's Pinktober campaign for breast cancer awareness. Melissa played them both during her 2011 Fearless Love summer tour. She is keeping one and YOU can own the other!" [from the eBay listing ] |

Pink represents femininity., We also often connect it with romance, love, friendship harmony, compassion, relaxation and companionship. Pink is symbolic of gentle emotions and of emotional unions. |

We have a friend being treated for stage 3 breast cancer right now. 35 years old, with a 4 year old and a 1 year old to look after. Its a really bad situation but she's a tough cookie... |

Location: Chicago | Hey, we've entered OVATION END TIMES. Al D. and his signature have (deservedly?) faded to black and the only other visible guy is Nikki Sixx whose "Herion" concept just seems wrong. The two viable champions stll standing are women (despite our demographic here). Pepto Pink is weird, yes but these epaulettes on the KK signature confuse me:  |

Flowers? Feathers? Leaves? A gay bouquet?

Per your earlier comment, is the Al D model history? |

I have the original signature, not the AD II. I wonder how different they are, aside from the obvious preamp. |

Location: Chicago | Good question, Damon. My frank assessment is that, acoustically, MY AD II (never played an original sig) is quite sweet but not much of a canon; rather thin above fret 10 on the high strings. Plugged in... not much luck. For what it's worth our colleague Roman Mirsoshnichenko has steered clear of this axe. When Al D. offered to buy his old modified legend they both agreed that the new axes were inferior. Go figure.... (and YOU helped design it?) |

Mick Thomson. His autograph line at the Ovation display at NAMM was twice as long as Glen Campbell's.
Time are different now. |
