Oh, no, Mister Bill...
DD has signed on at...Minarik!
He now plays one of those guitars with the tuned flame-tips.
"Like holding a Salvador Dahli" (sic).
Uh-huh.

The antithesis of a Rick, IMHO!
Have some people no shame?

That guitar would look right at home in hell.

So, that's what they call "FireGlo"?

I thought that I saw Dick and his son playing these at NAMM a few years back. I thought they were ugly then too.....

"Like holding a Salvador Dahli"...Bet it feels more like holding a rake.

From Guitar Player
"Its few cosmetic glitches aside, the Inferno offers unforgettable looks, stunning sounds, and custom-style-for-low-bucks value. This sonically versatile, 100 percent rock and roll guitar is totally deserving of an Editors' Pick Award."

So the Editor gives Minarik a Pick as an Award?
About all it's worth, IMO...........

The guitar's design is a 'cosmetic glitch'?

Just another reason why I don't bother reading Guitar Player.

When it comes to the Guitar Player review, it would seem that Miserlou loves company.

HAR!!!!
Editors pick their noses and come up with a Minarik Inferno.
The low-buck Minarik booth at NAMM had some interesting (even for NAMM) characters hanging out. One of the salesmen--a loudish loutish guy in his mid-thirties in a three-piece suit and bow tie (Tucker Carlson moonlights?) was actually delivering the line about how the flame tips were tuned for best resonance!!!
I nearly lost my milk shake through my nose. Ugh.
I saw Dick last Winter. He was playing his Strat.

Endorsements are nothing new....I'm still waiting! Dick has a head for business and making a $..on the other hand I asked him if he might write some lines for our cd if we did some of his material on it..yep..for free....btw that is an ugly guitar..gonna need a custom stand..
