Happy day after America day, buddies. This week your favorite deep-fried potato balls decided to celebrate by getting into some controversial gear topics.

What better way to honor America’s birth than diving into the details of when Leon Theremin built a device used to spy on us, or Dave shitting all over St. Louis-style pizza, or Hank bellyaching about selling his Explorer? Or how about the difference between light/heavy guitars, PRS making a signature Jimi Hendrix amplifier 50 years after homeboy died, or Behringer dropping even more clone Moog synthesizers? Hoo baby.

Also discussed: stone Firebirds, Sweetwater’s new gear mecca, The Black Crowes, and making tough Jazzcisions.

Is Fender a dinosaur on the way out? (No.)
