Another week, another episode of buds being buds.

In any relationship it’s important to keep things spicy, so Hank starts off by surprising Dave with a new (old) guitar, the Japanese lawsuit-era Aria Pro II LS-500 VS from 1977 (really rolls off the tongue). We talk honeymoon periods, rebound guitars, nickel > chrome, and selling to buy.

Also discussed: acquiring a case of raspberries from king shit of the corner bodega, a general aversion to partscasters, Rick Rubin and McCartney 3, 2, 1, Neve consoles, The Descendents, and Clapton being a butthole.

Listen to the new Hembree jam Reach Out.
