Episode 166 - The Gibson RD Custom
During the time Gibson was owned by the Norlin company, they threw some nutty ideas against the wall. Not many of them stuck, and were abandoned as quickly as they were cooked up. Funny how time heals so many wounds; the RD Custom of 1977 seems oddly at-home in 2021. And the shrill quality of its bright switch has become a feature, not a bug. Listen in, and see if you agree…
Beverages!
Podcasting is thirsty work; it’s crucial that everyone involved stay hydrated. The following fine beverages contributed to the success of this episode: Ed inadvertently used his juicer to manufacture pepper spray, so he's taking a break with a swell non-alcoholic Heineken. John drank some Teddy's Ginger Ale, on account of the bubbles. This week’s beverage intro song clip, performed (not really) live in-studio was Pleasant Valley Sunday by The Monkees.
