Happy February, ya groundhogs. Get any new gear yet in 2023? 

This week Hank and Dave stir the gear pot, digging deep into a list of controversial hot takes; plenty of hot spice coming your way.

Also discussed: Fender cheeseboards, Roland drone speakers, tube pickups from Ruokangas, a rare one-off Gretsch White Falcon, Musician’s Friend’s “used” policy, Nu-Tekt updates, JHS Kemper tomfoolery, Heritage v Gibson, Tom Verlaine and Juliette Gilbert, No More Tours for Ozzy, Epi JoBo price increases, Demon-FX going hard on clones, and Scott Walker.

This is the peak of boring shit to look at.
