We are lucky to have Josh and Jeff on "speed dial" here. I have multiple guitars with multiple sets of their pickups. Just another "value added" asset at the greatest guitar forum around. Too bad Hamer isn't anymore...

Thanks for the shout-out, sorry I'm late to the thread, haven't been message boarding much lately. Carondelet's EVH- and Sunset Strip-inspired comp is "Secret Sauce." Its newest fan is Tracii Guns, he just started using it in his live go-to Friedman super strat. I wound him a double white to blend nicely into the diver graphic better. The amp you hear is one of the 50-watters Tracii builds himself (!), juiced just a touch with a Friedman IR-X box. Try not to get distracted by Olga. Tracii and I also Secret Sauce'd a battered project LP he recently picked up and nicknamed "Krusty." We also mounted a custom S pickup in the neck on a H-sized P-90 plate (!), rewired the toggle as a kill switch, and stripped the harness to a sole vol that push/pulls to switch pickups. And here's Krusty with Tracii's touring tech, Tom Weber. You may recognize Tom's name from his being EVH's guitar tech from 2007 until Ed's death. Tom loves Secret Sauce and he told me his former boss would have loved it too. And I wear that like a war veteran wears his medals!

Empire also had a 98 Artist Ultimate this morning for $4000. I think that went in a couple of hours.

muh-LAW-saw Trust me on this.

I guess the price was indeed fair. Congrats to the new owner.

Not to me. 🙁 But I'm afraid it's going to be one of those I always wish I had.

Sold. Hope to someone here.

…and now I can’t unsee it!!

Yes, Mel on sawn with a fading off at the end typical of French nazality. Not Mel an can. RIP.

Wow, that's nice. I could even overlook the first fret inlay on that one. : )

Don't remember seeing any others in this color. Very nice, seems like a fair price. Hamer Custom Shop Artist Custom (2004) - Transparent Teal #53727 with Original Hard Case | Reverb

Remember folks, if you blow off a finger this weekend, you'll still be able to play guitar but you'll have to practice way harder!

Shane Theriot referred to his green one as a "mel-an-sahn" (I *think*). Is that right? I'm not too hip on the Cajun pronunciations. I'd always read it (never said it) as mel-an-kahn ("KAHN!" -JTK). Never heard of Gray, but I don't get out from between the swamps much.

I looked at this but ended up with a Superblock US. Which has saved me a couple of times and sounds good anyway. The 101 has plenty of power and the AC supply built in. Downside is no balanced line out.

Personally, I stopped watching these two long ago. These YT guys don't realize that most likely Google's been using everything they upload for years to train their AI and that's part of what they agree to by using it to make money? I haven't read the terms, but in another guy's video talking about this, Shull says he thinks he knows who's doing this but does he offer any proof of it? I wonder if they're getting trolled since they moan about fair use so much when they get a copyright claim.

FIFY.

I have a couple of their MicroBlocks and they sound great. This is a no-brainer for a backup or grab-and-go.

And free shipping, if you're not in a hurry.

I've got the same shorts on as that guy....

The Five Watt World stuff is really great. I also love how honest he is about his own gear tendencies. There's one where he talks about having guitars that are almost "too good" to actually play, and revealed that his PRS S2 guitars are his number one players. He's also right that the Deluxe really is the sweet spot for vintage Fender amps, if you want to drive them hard to get some nice chewiness. Sure you can do it with a twin but you'll level your house. So many of the popular mods for Fender amps are fore the Deluxe.

Yeah.
