Bought a Klon Clone and I want to try the Conspiracy Theory again. I have an EarthQuaker White Light (Nobel’ish ) pedal if someone would like to trade. Open to buying. I’m sure I sold my old one to someone here. LOL

Looks like the output electrosocket Jack has been replaced. At least I've never seen a Newport with that oval plate.

My latest strat project before the sanding and paint... I can guarantee you non-believers that the glue is 10 times stronger than the actual repaired wood 🙄 With that being said, I will bow down to all you experts...

This was the first one I ever picked out for myself and bought but coincidentally to OP, BTO - Not Fragile was THE album that got me into hard rock. My brother is 7 years older than me and had left most of his 8-track collection behind when he went to college. I worked my way through them and that was my first real "favorite album".

From the article: "Billy Gibbons, the lead singer of legendary Texas band ZZ Top".

Only Daves use Titebond II. Don't be a Dave.

"Plays like butter" always puts me in mind of a locally infamous used gear seller who had a housefull of guitars and amps. I bought a couple or three there early along in my guitar interest resurgance, but it very much seemed to me that the seller must have invited buddies over in the evening and shared buckets of fried chicken as they passed the guitars around, they were so dirty and greasy. So - plays like schmaltz?

Nice going, Dave. Now you have to go back and re-break everything so you can use the right glue. Hack.

#8 still resides here!! Never saw the hack!!!

So when I plugged it in nothing came out. Luckily it appears to be just the output jack. Works well enough after jiggling the cord to remind me that P90s are noisy. Going to try some contact cleaner on it today but new jack may be in my future. Some small dings but other than that no complaints and no initial obvious differences from other Hamer Jrs I have played.

As always, Ted and the HFC Internet gang knocking it out of park for a bunch of guitar slobs. 😎👍❤️🏁

Yes. Lots of fixes underway. Specifically, emails sending from the site. What a nightmare. If you weren't getting them before you should now. if you need a password reminder please request. It should be working now. whew! that was a tough one. I will be looking at blocking issues for some users tomorrow. That said we will be moving to Xenforo board sooner than later as it should address some of these issues. Admins have been testing and we will open up to all for a test before resyncing posts and switching over. I would love to have that done by this time next week. Thanks for your patience More to come.

This album affected me when I was a kid... It gave me nightmares... it still gives me heebie-jeebies 😬

She looks alone.

So many people missing the obvious...

Wait, wait, wait - isn't that Butters, the drummer from Faith + 1? Phil Collins. Dave Grohl. Now Butters thinks he can go from being the drummer to frontman?

Oh ffs... I've been using Titebond II for decades on all my guitar repairs/modifications without one single issue 🙄.. just got done dowling a couple of Floyd rose posts... sanded flat and painted

I got it. Your quip posted just as I was about to post the same thing. I guess the writes joke themselves here.

I only asked if it played like butter because it was a Shae guitar. You know Shea... Shea butter? No? Nobody?

Yeah. I thought that about Bad Company given they were a bit of a "supergroup". Then I thought about Pearl Jam who also had members from other highly regarded bands (albeit more local than widespread success) coming together. Then I thought that can't be a disqualifier because you'd be left with a pretty short list to choose from if no members could have previous band experience, but would that make 5150 a debut album? In terms of the number of plays a debut album got from me, I'd be hard pressed to guess who came out on top between Boston, Ozzy, and Pearl Jam but I'll go with the latter.

Same could be said for LZ... I'll try another...

Both are great but it feels Ozzy should be in a different category. Not his first band.

This set would be 4k new, located in Peoria, IL will meet between Chicago, Indianapolis, STL, Iowa. I may also be at the Indiana Guitar Show Sept 26/27 and the Chicago Vintage Guitar Show Oct 11th. https://rockittretro.com
