Who the hell is "Rick Neilson"?

If he had irritable bowel, then we'd have to say IBS IBS. IBS IDS (in deep shit) might be acceptable.

Not me. One guitar a year? 18 guitars? Those are rookie numbers.

I hadn't known I wanted this guitar and wasn't aware it existed, but when I saw this ad earlier this week I decided to act quickly. The guitar arrived safely this evening and is in brand new condition. Dave called it "special." It sure is, and is equally beautiful. Immaculate is also an apt description, and Dave's handling of the entire process sets the standard for prompt professionalism. New strings, no fingerprints, nothing other than a perfect (ok, special) guitar. It arrived this evening packed beautifully in a box-within-a box, cushioned to withstand the most careless baggage handler at any airport or on any truck, or any rainstorm between here and there. If you are wondering whether his other descriptions are accurate, stop. Everything with this guitar is "as described," including the first fret inlay, which doesn't bother me a bit - sorry Chris. I couldn't be more pleased with every aspect of this transaction or with the guitar. Thanks Dave. Best, Bill

Will purchase if still available. PM incoming.

Here's one IYV hollowbody. I don't know why HFC rotates my photos..?

This is giving me an irritable bowel.....

DaveH's mood is IBS...

Uh...

I'm not sure 'pretty special' quite covers it. Stunning.

Since I only play at home now, I too have been down the modeler rabbit hole having owned most every one, and some more than once. I finally realized I only need a few amp sounds and a few effects so I’m sticking with 20 watt amps. At least for now.

I bought this used Squier with Carvin AP11 pickups for $24.95 + $16.00 shipping to satisfy my modifying urges

This is exactly why I have been using pedal preamps instead of modelers. A good tube based pedal preamp, plus different voiced overdrives, gives me everything I need. I will probably never find my 'ideal' setup but the Tubesteader Roy preamp (Vox AC30) plus the Kaluna Drive (Plexi) and a transparent OD (currently the EH Soul Food) does the job.

But it doesn't matter 'cause he's been dead for decades 🤣

Wow!!!! stunning isn’t the correct adjective to describe this!!!

About a week before @Stike got his cab, I had ordered an unfinished Stage Hog 2x12. This right after unpacking. Sections are sealed from one another, essentially giving you two cabs in one... The top has an oval open back, the bottom is sealed with a 1" port along the front bottom. Last night I ordered of Fane Ascensions... an A60 for the top, and an F70 for the bottom. I expect this thing will really sing once everything is broken in! Especially with the Express circuit. Finishing is completed and the handles are in, I only have to get the grill clothed stapled to the grill frame. Oh, and I have a set of beam blockers coming for it as well.

see an I thought it was Top Dead Center

Thanks for the info all. Went with the Yamaha MG12X 12, got a good price on an open box version via Reverb with a 45 day store warranty. Should fit the bill for this band, guitar, bass, keys and drums.

I agree with all of this except for the XR18, in my opinion, you NEED another router/wireless. When I had one and used the internal wireless, it's 802.11g, which is about 4 or 5 generations behind current wifi standards. I found it slow to respond. My 2 cents.

Those are classics. They are spec for 57's

Brian May honoring Steve in a new song. Also Hamer sighting for a 2nd somewhere in the mids of the vid. Billy Gibbons playing guitar too. Bon voyage to Steve.

This has a pretty good claim:

"Only a Gibson is Good Enough" (???) Here is an interesting video that popped up here this Monday morning. It is an interesting take (to me, at least) on how this has evolved. And a sort of take on how such as Epiphone has moved up and down the quality and price scale over time. And the decisions Gibson has made. I have been known to be more than a little "guitar snobbish" and probably always will be. Too many stories......😉 Not really thinking in terms of "Chibson" or "Chender". But the talent transfer has had an impact. Case in point (non-Gibson design). I have always admired the Languedoc guitars. I do not even know the cost of ordering one. Into 5 figures I reckon. Used ones? Just try to find one. Anyway, something popped up with a Chinese made version. I looked at a few videos and said, WTH. Worst case, it is a POS and I dump it. OR, it is okay but the pickups and parts need replacing......Placed an order for a Firefly Pegasus. It arrived and I was impressed right outta the box. Yeah, the pickups COULD be better, but to me they sound very good, either in HB or split mode. Played great, except.....The second day, I was a bit more critical and realized it did not play cleanly at 3 frets on ONE string. Rather than mess with it myself, I brought it to my local guy who did some minor work on the ONE fret that was high and reset the bridge. So, add $26.93. Keeping my total cost for a very decent instrument to well UNDER $300. (No case, of course). Decided to take a second swing. Same seller/make was (is) offering a "single cut" that will make you do a double take on an Ace Frehley mood. No need for a tech touch. Except....For me, the pickups are too hot. For my taste. BUT, if I was more the "hard rock" guy.......And I can always compensate a bit with amp settings, EQ, etc. So, even less invested than the Pegasus. Note again, these are not exactly "Chibsons" in the sense that the design, headstock, inlays are NOT pure replicas intending to be passed off as a Gibson (or PRS or whatever). But for something that could be taken to a gig and fit right in, not bad at all. The few that have seen/heard them so far have been impressed. Hmmm.....Maybe a "PRS" take with dragon inlays(?) next..... Anyway, should anyone be in that mood, worth checking out. Look up Guitars Garden (California) on line. No need to order from some seller in China and hope for the best. Neither will replace my favorites....Breaking out the Shishkov for rehearsals lately....But color me impressed.

Philip Sayce. A monster.

I use a piece of 2” aluminum angle with two 1/4” jacks mounted in it. Harbor Freight magnetic parts dish keeps the tiny screws from getting lost.

Everybody Jest STFU! 😂🤣

I thought it meant Irritable Bowel Syndrome...

STOP USING "IBS" unless they're dead. Hell, I thought Rick had up and died on us.

Isn't he that "Guardian Party" dude?

The Fireflys get good reviews all over. No, they'll never be a Hamer or Shishkov. But that's not their thing. My BillyBo was a couple hundred bucks and is a fun guitar to bash around without worrying about dings or dents. And it plays and sounds really good for what it is. I had one of their Teles to be used for experiments, but my great-nephew got that for a graduation present. But it was again really well done and he loves it. I'm waiting for their RDs and Baritones to come back because, you know.....I really need another couple of cheap guitars lying around. The guy I got the Tele from removed the logo. Apparently it didn't have 'The Look'.

Well done.

That was a fun one.

My 4 digit Standard... That one still hurts... I had $650.00 in it, sold it for $1500.00 and thought I was the greatest guitar salesman in the world. Until I sold my 1960 Gibson Doublecut Jr. for $1500.00 that I had $500.00 in. Then I was the greatest salesman. SMH....

Guys, the seller / modifier of the guitar is our own @murkat (NTL Guitar), veteran of the Gibson Custom Shop with skills beyond compare. If he did the work, mark it down as equivalent to or better than original and was likely warranted by some previous mishap to the guitar. The original serial number can be seen in this photo: If you search the archives you'll find multiple threads where Jay resurrected absolutely obliterated Hamers to a state beyond where they were originally. It appears his old website is gone, but he's got a FB page: NTL Guitar | Rock Hill SC | Facebook Hope this helps. 😉

Vox gave me my valvetronix in 2001 (?), i even brought it along to a Chicago Hamer gathering. Still have it, still sounds great. i do have and use mostly now a quad cortex. Very satisfying through a nice set of studio monitors and or ev pdx monitors.
