I have noted information that in case it dies or glitches 😀 But seriously, tell him "good job" I really like it! Also I was basically gifted a Bugera V5 a couple of days ago. I realize it may not be comparable to the Carr except that both are small low-watt amps. Had that happened a week earlier I would not have gotten the Carr. To be clear, I'm glad it worked out that way! Studio apt w/thin walls and now THREE tube amps to choose from! 🧠

That guy made his mark on the guitar community for sure. I had one of his camo-painted, blood-splattered superstrats with a Kahler back in the 80s. RIP.

It broke my heart, but I sold my Zandard a few months ago. I've been meaning to make a post about it. I've also sold 4 other guitars from my collection and have 4 on Reverb right now.

I never interacted with him personally, but I certainly remember the name. I really hate to see it when ANYone from the HFC is having health issues or passes. I played for about 40 years (up until my strokes in 2024) and I had joined several guitar forums over the years but this is the only one I actively participated in, ever. The quality of the people here is unparalleled. May Ed rock on in a better place.

Good chance my band mate Dave wired it.

If you like the old school mechanical keyboards, these can get pricey, but they're also customizable: https://www.keychron.com

Men In Black. Please.

The trial of El Kabong should be relatable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EDkIjIBsVM

One of my pat answers is, I don’t have a Hot Rod, I don’t have a boat, I don’t have ex wives but I got a bunch of guitars. 😎👍❤️🏁

“The LPD EIGHTY7 was designed to deliver the great guitar sounds of the 80's. The aim of this design was to capture the modified Plexi and JCM800 tones that LA recording studios were tracking in that era. Two modes, Green and Red, deliver a wide array of gain and tone combinations.“

Apparently playing all of my MIB pedals to notice the one I missed.

40 guitars? Rookie. Needs to step up his game.

Jesus, man! Where have you been?

80? Give me a fuckin' break.

Very sad news. RIP Ed...

“It was awful because all kinds of sounds were jumbled together all day,” Ain't gonna lie...this could have been me.

There's a man named Jeff who for years and years was always making trade offers on guitars I had. I always found him slightly offputting. We couldn't talk about anything via or text or email, I had to call him. The trades weren't always a bit in his favor, he could never take clear photos of his guitars, they were always out of focus. He just always felt like a bit of a bully, but not quite enough of a dick I wanted to block him or not talk to him again. So... I started wondering about him after he reached out to me again last week. It turns out he was a cop and was infamous for shooting a suspect multiple times and putting him in a coma. The lawsuit took years and years and it turns out he has qualified immunity. Anyhow, I finally understood the vibes he was giving off. It's exactly like cop vibes. Too many older cops always felt pushy and bossy to me. Not always to extremes, but just enought to make me feel uncomfortable. This was exactly like that.

Dang! That li’l fella must have them amps CRANKED to use boulders to hold them in place!

So, what kind of guitars were in his collection? We need the important details

@Dave Scepter Dang man, I thought Akira was the one that got busted! 😂

M.Z.A.. M.Z.A.. M.Z.A 🤘😝🤘

be careful not to make loud guitar 'noise', certainly no one here would be guilty https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/07/28/japan/kyoto-guitar-man-insomnia-arrest/

I love the retro-styling of Carr amps. They look like 50's appliances. Is the 87 a JCM800 pedal?

One day someone is going to ask me to play some rock-a-billy. There needs to be a Gretsch in my arsenal. One day I will master flamenco guitar, which requires a guitar made for flamenco rather than just a nylon string classical style that is necessary for playing baroque parts in prog rock songs. There are times that a seven string guitar with a locking tremolo bridge is required. One must be ready for that at all times. Only a Telecaster will play those classic country licks. The reason for multiple Les Pauls is that with different pickups in each of them you can get the tones of far more famous guitar players, and everyone notices that. One needs an OM or 000 sized guitar because the volume of a Dreadnaught is not always necessary. A Stratocaster is a must for half of the classic rock I play. A 335 is different from a 355, and you really have to have both to play Allman Brothers and Rush music. You cannot expect me to play gypsy jazz on a guitar with a scale length less than 26 inches. A dozen Hamer guitars barely establishes the wide range of musical applications they were made for.

Fer sure! V1 was not fully ripe when they released it! The good new re that is that JHS admitted their mistake and apparently made it good for anyone unhappy with the original version.
