    Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Randy Rhodes (RIP), Kirk Hammett,

    Seems like sooner or later, the "older" heros have to move over

    Take a look at a Gibson '59 Flying V, Explorer or '63 reverse Firebird
    to see where Charvel, ESP and Ibinhad learned how to make funny-shaped
    headstocks.

    Re: .19
    
    I thought Dean Zelinsky of Dean Guitars was pretty cool when he came up
    with his ML body shape...like an Explorer top half and Flying V bottom
    half, and that V-shaped headstock.  Then I saw a picture of a weird
    prototype Gibson bass owned by John Entwistle that was from the same
    time-frame as the Explorer/V/Moderne....same shape and headstock....for
    shame, Dean..

    Ibeenhad/Ibanez ?  Agagagagagaga....
    
    Your crackin' me up...
    
    Anyhow, I agree that headstock shapes aren't a new idea and aren't
    exclusive...  It's just that all *good* guitars have 'em.  ;^)
    
    Don't get me wrong either... I'd love to *own* an old gibson like
    a firebird or explorer they were really cool.  I'd just rather play
    a guit that'd complement my rack...Ya know, more high tech without
    all that squeels, squeeks, hums and tuning problems.

    While I'm slipping into my asbestos suit, I thought I might also
    predict that vintage guits like Gibson, Fender, Guild etc...
    become more valuable at an alarming rate !  If you have one,
    hold onto it !

    MIDI merges with SMPTE, 5 string basses break the price barrier
    < $600.00, Mendelsson's first 3 works get put into rock format,
    New music has been fully established using necks that are fretted
    differntly. Speed picking is a thing of the past and expressionism
    is back. The first MIDI Chapman Stick is put into production.

    	Remember when it was highly unlikely you'd buy a Strat, "pal"?

    RE: .24
    
    when did I ever own a strat?  Me?  A strat?  No way, uh-uh, I've never
    liked those things.  Just kiddin, dude!  When I say "pal" to my PALS,
    I mean PAL!  8)
    
    P.S. there was alot I liked about my strat, and I would own another IF
    I can keep "Paul".  Maybe I can find a deal like Alan did!

    		With the Japanese purchasing all of the vintage guitars
    	at greatly inflated prices, creating a shortage of older Strats,
    	Pauls, and the like, Americans will be reduced to lower their
    	standards. Americans will be stuck with purchasing vintage Makos,
    	Kays, Silvertones and early Peavy electrics. These of course will
    	increase in value due to increased consumer demand. Mint Teisco
    	Del Rays will be going for $700.00 plus. Low tech will be in. 
    	Guitar shows will start hyping collections of Epiphones from the
    	mid-eighties, "vintage" Yamaha FG series from the seveties will
    	fill the space left by disappearing Super 400s and J200s.
    		The new wave for amplifiers will be away from tubes and 
    	replaced by amps that only run on batteries. Vintage Pignoses will
    	be worth a fortune.

    	The first true "air guitar" will be marketed. Six laser beams
    will shoot out of the body into free space, which you interrupt
    by placing your finger tips on the beam. A microprocessor for each
    will read the LIDAR round trip delay, and generate a MIDI output.
    
    	The device will be later heralded as the fastest way to build
    up your finger calouses ;')

    Considering what's happened in the last ten years, I think (honestly)
    Les Pauls and SGs will make a big comeback.  
    
    I also seriously think that rock will finally die out and be replaced
    by something new....if I knew what that was, I wouldn't tell you
    anyway, I'd start buying some syudio time to record it, eh?
    
    Hopefully, fusion will also bite the dust...it's been moribund for the
