Damn impressive my friend!

Neither will apparently be appearing in the popular video game Guitar Hero ("dad, real guitars are for old people!" -South Park). In fact EVH's son, Wolfy, will be playing bass in the game on the classic hits, which will apparently exclude all of the Van Hagar songs. I thought this was interesting. Maybe Chicken Foot will have some tunes out on Rock Band. Ha! I've only played GH once and I hated it, but thought the VH news was interesting.

I've had a few of both, but the Cali's were the best. Man, I miss my holoflake cali elite!!!

I raise both a bomb pop and a pop tart to you sir!

Sting. Then his son Joe.

Couldn't make it out. In fact I'm still in a recording session. Back to work...

Belated Bro!

Hmmm, or I could have one of every model by Bogner, Diezel, Egnater, Demeter, etc. with matching 1x12, 2x12 and 4x12 cabs and still have enough money left over to buy a NEW car. Hmmm.... what should I do....

It's nice to put a face with the coffee mug!

I think I found this place in '99 when I was working in the college computer lab spending most of my time surfing when not helping people figure out their email or how to change fonts on their term papers. Basically they paid me to surf, flirt with girls and snack. lol! (Man, I've got to get that job back!!!!) Back then there was a lot of talk about bomb pops and pop tarts. I used to photoshop pancakes, rabbits and earlier mentioned all over BCRGreg and his car too. lol! I think I lost the pictures though...

I doubt it. Standards are part of the bread and butter of the company. Their Vectors are iconic too. Now you'll probably be able to get bolt-ons made in the fender custom shop stamped with Hamer on the strat/tele shaped headstock. lol!

I'm not aware of any changes in the production of Jackson guitars since Fender bought them (granted I haven't worked at a dealer in 3 years). But I was working at a dealer during the change. The production plant was the same with the same staff and the guitars were the same quality (And I've owned a lot of USA custom shop Jacksons). If anything, they just brought back strat headstock shaped charvels. I doubt they'll change much, if anything, about the American Hamers. This is interesting to read about though.

Vintage 30's are my favorites. They come in many of the highest end clean and high gain amps. Extremely versitle. The Vintage 30/Greenback combo sounds amazing. Check out a Matchless DC30 for further proof. Some of the coolest guitar tones I've ever recorded.

Happy B-day fellas! Tom, you should come by the studio sometime!
