I mean here is Kevin Brown, the owner of the Station North Arts Cafe, wearing a leather vest, and Evan Moritz, a member of the Annex Theater who has kind of "weird" hair sometimes and puts on avant-garde theater. And, come to think of it, there's not a lot of weirdness around either. It's always interesting, never a dull moment." Never a dull moment, except maybe for this one-the big fake scissors aren't exactly cutting edge.

I said 'Baltimore, we have our own uniqueness and creativity and quirkiness,' I said, 'We're gonna steal that, um, that moniker from Austin.' So I always enjoy my time in Station North. "You know, their tag line is 'Keep Austin Weird.' I told the mayor we were gonna steal that away. "I was on a panel with the mayor of Austin," Rawlings-Blake says. (SNAE) and the Annex Theater, because there are a lot of high-powered hopes riding on the back of this rather ragtag arts district in the very center of the city. for the opening of the Station North Chicken Box, the new home of Station North Arts and Entertainment Inc. Whether she likes it or not, the mayor has to be here today at 1 W. "Now that's what I call creativity." The line was a painful clunker, but it was also revealing. "Here at Charles and North, the former New York Fried Chicken takeout is now the Station North Chicken Box," she says, standing beneath the Gaia mural that was the centerpiece of the Open Walls project. She is uncharacteristically stilted and tends to stumble over her words. There are master volume and tone pots for the magnetic pickups, a push/pull function on the tone pot for splitting the coils – again, so very versatile – and volume and tone controls for the piezo sounds.Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake never seems totally comfortable around Baltimore's arts community. The control setup is quite simple, however. But not only that, you can blend both signals so that the magnetic pickups and piezo tones are working together.

These are complemented by a Fishman Powerbridge piezo system, as seen on guitars such guitars such as Jerry Cantrell’s Gibson ‘Wino’ Les Paul Custom, which offers acoustic electric guitar tones at the flick of a switch. The Pasadena Plus in the bridge is the hotter of the two, with a little more juice in the upper-mids. These were first wound for Avenged Sevenfold’s Zacky Vengeance and don’t lack for power. Traditional, or magnetic, electric guitar pickup voicings come by way of a pair of Schecter USA Pasadena humbuckers. The hardware looks solid enough – string-through tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece, Schecter-branded locking tuners with kidney bean buttons – but it’s probably the electrics that we’ll all most interested in.
