Okay, I followed your suggestion and tried (better: I am trying) one of the locals: Chaotic Double. Made by Manzanita Brewin Co. in Santee, San Diego. Heavy Stuff. Heavier than an German bock or double bock I think, with 10,1% alcohol. Whew. To say it with Joanna Dean: Once is enough...

What a great shot!!

Sunday Gardenfest pals. Teatime first.

She's tight!

Please Daniel, try it.....not all at the same time...This can have some subtile side effects, more or less comparable with German or Belgium beer effects Or at least not before flying. Keep your reputation on board

TA-DA!!!! My custom order is done. This is a dream come true, something I had always had in mind and never had the chance to get it built -had previously contacted RS Guitars and they wouldn't do it. But thanks to gorch here, I finally found the right builder to make me this, exactly to my specs -chunky neck and 24.75" scale included. Please, meet my Scheithauer Mayday-V: Now it's done, ready to get shipped to me. But I guess she will spend some few weeks at gorch's in Germany first -still have to arrange this with him, as he seems now not very sure about it. In any case, I can't wait to have it in my hands!

awesome. (had to post the pic again. had too)

... now for coffee and creme lovers. Notice, we've Englished the green. Note: iPhone5 taken with ProCamera app. No enhancements. I can't believe.

I must be living in the 80’s ‘cause both of my favorite “short” solos are from 1980 releases… 17 seconds from Dave Edmunds in the song “Heart” from the 1980 Rockpile album “Seconds Of Pleasure.” 15 seconds from James Honeyman Scott in the song “Kid” from the 1980 Pretenders album “Pretenders.”

Feynman, I bet if I lent that thing to you, you would do like Prince and smash it to little pieces, right? Or just play it for a couple of days and then sell it.

Based on this I'd avoid him. Every deal I've entered with so much back story has turned into a problem, whether it being shipping delays, overstated condition to flat out never shipping the item. His life is in turmoil and you are low on his list of issues to get to.

And again, this is just a perfect custom order. Gorch, you appear to have all of the suitable gear to bring out the best in this gutiar, so I think you should keep it. Zorrow's gonna' run it through a Pignose simulator or something ridiculous.

Gorch: You are a skiful teaser. I can't go "schwing!!" like you guys, but this certainly got me excited, is really a BEAUTIFUL instrument. It's just a perfect V Red Special. I just hope zorrow will let me touch it and play with it...

I don't want to hijack the thread, so i'll start and end with, that Cali is seriously cool. Great job all around. Todd - great to see you here in the forum. I had a CO done a couple years ago through BCRGreg. You guys in the shop knocked it out of the park, plain and simple. Every CO i've seen since then has been just as kewl (the "Tiger Eye" Tally, the black quilt-top12 string standard bass, the red SS2 with tumbling Boomers, the Impact bass, etc...) You folks have done a lot of great work, and you should be very proud of the legacy you've created. We all hope that the status on the Hamer brand will change (i'm still in denial...), but in the mean time, we have a lot of killer guitars out here thanks to you, Mike, Tom, Gary, David, and i'm sure others that i've missed. Thank you all. And that Cali is seriously cool.
