St. Vincent..... NYC Trip... and I love it!

[Smellybum]

So I was in NYC for the holidays, long story but never been, made it to multiple stores including the GC in Times square... got to the platinum room and tried the St. Vincent.


I didn't think I was going to like it or that the shape would feel comfortable but I did and it was, - brilliant well thought out guitar with amazing tones and loving' the new bridge.

If you haven't tried one -try it - you will see the world differently as I did, well done EBMM, awesomeness once more...

Some pics - excuse my moobs and by the way the Aramada Beer Tap is out of this world, they wouldn't sell it to me but you guys gotta start selling them please!!!

What's up with the G- and D-strings on the Armada Beer tap? And Can I get a nice IPA out of it?

yeah I think it'd been "customised" and I think it was just house brew, - I can ship you over some seriously nice local IPA's from here if you want pal

NY brews are are the best! Just get your hands on Ithaca Brewing Company's Flower Power IPA. It's di-vine. Southern Tier's 2X IPA is always acceptable too.

Wow, I was at the same spot (plugged into that Friedman amp that you have pictured and presumably sat on the same stool ) at GC's Times Square over Christmas too...

Too young ? Ha, I'm 62 in march and have worked for 43 years - time to sail into the sunset - 18 months time!!

If you ever get a chance to visit Rochester NY, do yourself a favor and grab some Rohrbach Space Kitty. Best double IPA ever. I'm a southern tier 2x fan as well, but Space Kitty is IMHO, the EBMM Majesty of IPAs.

Soo... Wait. You were in NYC and didn't let me know so we could grab a pint? Disappointing.

Will do! I'll be in Buffalo in the summer, I'm sure my uncle-in-law will know where to get it (he takes his IPAs rather seriously).

Incidentally, I had a great Irish IPA called "Supernova" from the 8º brewery in Co Cork. Fantastic!!

Anyway, enough of this thread hijack.
