It’s not all like the opening scenes from The Sopranos lol.

Most of the planet hears New York and immediately thinks of the approx. 500 sq. miles of the New York City metropolitan area.
Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, etc.

The state is 54,500 sq. miles meaning NYC metro is LESS THAN 1% of the total size.
Most of it is just like those areas of NJ.

I find it hilarious what some people consider “Upstate NY”

My family on my father’s side is from Malone, NY. Every time people say “Upstate NY” to me I ask, “the real Upstate, or just north of Manhattan?”

Looks more like Skeet Ulrich.

Sporting the Warlock I see.
I had a pink one for about a year...

Yes, of course!

It was my first electric guitar and I still have it lying around in the cellar. Unfortunately, it would be well beyond its value to make it playable again. But for purely nostalgic reasons, I might do it one day anyway.

My first guitar was a Cadillac Pink NJ Series Warlock. I’ve told this story a couple times before, but I stupidly traded it for a shitty, generic pedal in the mid-90’s and never saw it again. Years later I wanted to track down the exact model for nostalgia’s sake, but mine was a ‘rare’ version that had a standard Strat trem on it. I casually mentioned it one day on another forum, lo and behold @Iron1 had the exact model he took in on a trade.

It’s now sitting in pieces waiting for me to paint it, I just never remember to buy pink spraypaint!
