It's just the first piece of a new section of border wall their building, nothing to see.

Ooh.. Moving back towards high art...

I guess it was too much to ask for people to leave something cool alone.

Just thought this was a crazy story-- but a nice one. A mutual fan of Jackson Browne's and (my son) Jake's reached out the other day and wanted to give Jake a nameless guitar. Jake doesn't know it yet, but Mike Campbell from the Heartbreakers and Fleetwood Mac just shipped Jake one of his guitars, so that's what I thought this big package was-- but it wasn't (That's still en route, and will be very special to Jake, no doubt). It turns out this was simply just a fan who felt that this guitar already belonged to Jake... we had no idea what it actually was. Jake initially declined, but the fan was insistent and Jake promised to give the guitar a good and productive home and pay it forward in a charity gig, assuming it would probably be some lower-end guitar. The guitar arrived overnight, and it turned out to be the Jackson Browne Signature Gibson Model A-- an $8,000 custom built guitar at the Gibson Master shop. If Jake could have picked any Gibson, it would have been that one, incredibly. The only thing the guy wanted in return was for Jake to cover These Days. The pickup for the guitar needs some special cables which are shipping separately-- so Jake took it out of the box, tuned it up, and mic'd the straight room for the first time to fulfill the fan's request. That's some SERIOUS generosity right there.....

That's a hell of a gift.

[Geowhizzer]

That's damn good.

Holy crap that's awesome!

Jake is going places, GT. It's been cool to watch his ascension.
