I occasionally moan and drool during difficult passages.

I ordered a set for my '67 Super Reverb. Four bad speakers were the last thing keeping me from finishing it's restoration!

They lost me after Rocks. I bought Draw the Line when it came out (on 8-track!) but it was too overdone for my taste. I really liked The Joe Perry Project's first album.

He was incredible with The Faces and under utilized in The Stones.

Found 'em! Actually someone else lead me to them. They're the same exact style and thread size as the pickup ring screws on my Gibson ES-135 (though not the same as my Gibson Les Paul which has slightly larger, nickel plated, oval head screws). I found a place that has the exact screw for a...

My Hamer USA Diablo is missing two black, #2 x 1/2" long Phillips flathead screws. Does anyone have any idea where I could purchase screws in this size? These are way smaller than anything you'd find in a hardware store. Thanks!

I'm in S.E. Massachusetts, on the Rhode Island border.

I've never noticed a difference between American made Fender Strats. I just removed the '70s style guard off of my Strat and replaced it with an 8 screw '50s re-issue guard. I only had to move one hole and fill a few others. The middle pickup position was unchanged. Nashville style Teles are...

This one is not for sale, but it's an early model, a 1992. It's serial number is lower than any Diablo in the registry. It has a non reversed headstock, birdseye maple neck, cherry sunburst finish and Duncan JB humbuckers in the bridge and neck. It's a real rocker. I paid $450 for it a few...

My first real electric guitar was a red 1981 Ibanez Destroyer II DT-50. It had 2 humbuckers, a stop tail and rosewood fingerboard. It was a really nice guitar! Last year I picked up it's brother, a Regal Blue 1981 Ibanez Iceman II IC-50. It's also a very nice guitar.

I'd be happy to pay $500 for one if I hadn't heard of people getting them for less. Even then, if it's mint and you like it, I think it's worth it. Mine is a great guitar and has the playability and tone of much more expensive guitars.

My '92 USA Diablo in cherry sunburst with a non-reversed headstock and a birdseye maple neck in near mint condition with the original hardshell case but no trem arm cost me $450 earlier this spring. I think you could get one for less now. BTW, I paid $12 for a new Schaller trem arm.

They're definitely different than my Duncans.

What year is it? Does it have 2 JBs or a JB and a '59, or DiMarzios? I bought an early Diablo in cherry sunburst with 2 JBs and a birdseye neck for that price earlier this year.
