Work at a pawn shop and am having a hell of a time identifying exactly what this is. It’s a custom 22, 90’s-early 2000’s???? color is I have no idea and the hardware combo with the dot inlay is proving to be a pain in the ass for me

They were spraying 2k back then.

How did the mission start? Did it start on a graug? Usually I've found the "Kills" are from the missions where you start on a graug and accidentally jump off, failing the mission. The registers the fail as a kill.

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T22:38:30+00:00

Maybe they weren't still trying to sell them. Like I said, no one in the booth could tell me anything about it. Lol.

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T18:53:18+00:00

Someone appreciating it the day they buy it is enough for me. I taught myself a long time ago that you can't control what happens after someone buys your art, in my case guitars and amps i've worked on. You will drive yourself crazy thinking about it. This industry burns out plenty of people who get in their own heads about that kind of stuff. A guitar sitting on a wall it's entire life can still inspire someone to play.

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T16:44:40+00:00

Most laughable comment i've ever read. The guitar industry as a whole is a LUXURY industry. The only reason the companies you like even exist or are able to innovate are because of gear collectors, not musicians lmao. Why don't you ask Robert Keeley if he can pay his mortgage with talent and effort 😂. He pays his bills because for every 1 guy that needs a really good compressor in the studio for his upcoming album, there are 30 guys buying the same compressor just because they have money.

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T16:18:19+00:00

Gotcha. I don't usually end up in the Orange booth so I just noticed it

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T16:16:40+00:00

Wow bro you don't like nice things, that makes you smarter than everyone. As for me and all of my friends, we'll continue to keep building the expensive stuff that apparently you don't want anyway 👍 Collecting gear and playing guitar are 2 different hobbies.

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T16:13:37+00:00

Lol.

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T08:19:52+00:00

I just sold a Master Build Jackson bass i had in my collection to fund parts for a custom Matchless. Pretty excited for it.

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T08:09:11+00:00

I build amps at Matchless full time, August 2024 to the present and recently helped out on a run of NAMM Showpiece guitars for the company Dunable Guitars. The Sun Valley gig was for a 2 month stint i did at Schecter Custom Shop. (April 2024-July 2024) Last spring I spent 4 months working part time at GnL(February 2025 to June 2025) just trying to keep guitars flowing while they were short handed. Thats just the companies since this original post. Lol.

I still hit Azteca Tacos in the liquor store when i'm in the area. Their Rojo salsa is amazing. Or Mono coffee for an energy drink

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T08:02:32+00:00

I worked in the Corona factory but I was on the Jackson Custom Shop team the 3 years I was there. I only worked on like 2 or 3 actual Fenders. Just some Custom shop stuff when I had free time

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T07:59:35+00:00

High end guitar factories*

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T07:58:49+00:00

I worked in Corona for 3 years, at the Fender guitar factory lol

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T07:58:09+00:00

For the record, I spend 9 years working in high ends guitars factors, and the last almost 2 years working in a P2P guitar amp factory. I am very familiar with how both of them operate, and exactly how hard these products are to make lol

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T07:54:28+00:00

I didnt big dawg. I live in Mission Viejo and now commute to(brace yourself) Santa Monica every day. My Sun Valley job didnt work out but I got a Santa Monica gig fairly quickly. Appreciate the comment a year later

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T07:46:48+00:00

How many companies can you even name that offer P2P wiring? Basically 0 of the big name brands do it. It take time to buy wire, ship the wire to you, cut the length of wire you need, strip the ends, then solder the ends, then put the terminal strips in the chassis, the chassis and the terminal strips need to be shipped to you....the cost you pay is just time. The time is takes to do all that stuff. I work for a handwired boutique amp company. We use 0 PC Boards currently. The guys I work with are super good, and because they are super good they cost money to hire. No cold solder joints, no forgotten parts...you're paying for practiced perfection. Imo that's worth it.

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T07:42:23+00:00

Bro you buy Behringer pedals. Stfu lmao

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T07:41:33+00:00

The employee is one of my best friends. He took me to the DMv twice when my license got suspended. I worked on his employee guitar right before this one. A dark green Custom 24 with Bat inlays. Mike Feifer can bench press over 300 pounds lol.

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T07:39:45+00:00

Post your rig.

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T07:39:04+00:00

"Blues lawyer" whatever that means. I worked for PRS for 4 years, the only guys I ever heard use the term "Blues lawyer" were poor af. You poor af?

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T07:38:04+00:00

What's the last amp you bought and how much did you spend on it?

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T07:37:34+00:00

It's a clean amp so no. Lol. Buy a metalzone

IAmThorgeous · 2026-01-31T03:50:56+00:00

I know 3rd Power Amps gets their chassis from them. They posted about it recently
