Great craftmanship 👍. Completely handmade, both

Just Drill a 1/4" hole in a piece of scrap wood. For mic cables drill 3 1/8" holes in the right spots. Works great

Amen! I have no idea what most of this thread is about but I keep tuning in to read the next installment.

This one was pretty good:

I miss when radio stations would just randomly play any song from great albums.

Well, at least you kept level headed like all guitarists. 🤣

It has arrived. But a bit of a road bump (and I should have anticipated this) this thing requires a 250mA supply(!). That renders my humble Voodoo Labs Iso 5 obsolete, but I can run a separate One Spot temporarily. Only a few minutes with it but it’s pretty amazing so far, especially for what it cost. Suddenly, a seldom used place on the board is occupied by just about any type of pedal in a single space. Now for a new power supply. Anyone use the CIOKS ISO? ETA: CIOKS ISO ordered. Delivery scheduled for Wednesday.

The 67 isn't defined by just the headstock. The body near the neck is totally different carve.

I've got a small stash, but nothing huge. I do have a bunch of SED EL34 tubes, and a pair of SED 6L6GCs, but for preamp tubes, I really got on the boat too late. Also, I'm pretty sure the audiophile crowd, who pay $600 for a 3 foot RCA cable / interconnect, are the ones most responsible for hoarding and driving up the prices. One of the guys who worked at the local music shop where I take lessons had helped clean out a lot of old music shops in NYC, and many of them just kept all the discarded tubes in boxes. The stuff they found from the days when tubes were just replaced routinely was insane.

I will say, this moved from being a face-palm thread to a pretty damn cool thread.

I have not tried either one. These are Nik Huber and Frank Hartung.

The Orpheum show was 3/14/77 so he likely owned it by then. This was allegedly taken at the Palladium the following month.

Which brands? Morgaine? Kortmann? They build/built great copies...

Noch so ein alter, treuer Fachblatt-Leser wie ich. Danke für das Faksimile.

This 1979 Rick 4001. For me, it was simply the best "fit" ever--ergonomics (to include weight and balance), sonic properties, "blend" capability with a guitar in a three-piece format, etc. Traded even on a Leo-era L-1000 when I was trying out a "how-many-of-this-model-can-I-acquire" experiment, and while the G & L category was interesting, I should have stuck with the original "one of each" collection guidelines I had set.

I'm not cool "hip" enough to understand what you just said? 🫪

I call bullshit. Jol woulda kept half a twenty.

For me, bringing in is 99.99% of the time something that's a project that I then never end up doing anything with. Getting rid of probably my 1st year Ibanez RG550 in Atlantic Blue. Looked like this one. I had it with EMGs: 89/SA/89 with splits. It was played a lot for 15 years and I hadn't played it an ages. Great guitar that covered a lot of bases. Any Hamers I've gotten, I've kept figuring I could always sell those later.

With that guitar tone he could play a buzz saw, no one would notice the difference.

Perhaps it wasn't made yet... 🙄

I saw this a few days ago. Great band.
