Hey, I recieved some pics of my old Cali today. Not the greatest pics, but you get the idea... I do miss this guitar. 8(

A highlight for me this year was seeing Judas Priest/Black Label Society/Thin Lizzy live in Toronto last November. Lowlight was a speeding ticket on the way back home. For gear, I picked up an '01 Artist Custom and an EBMM Albert Lee off the same guy. Both guitars are incredibly pristine. I also picked up a few MIJ guitars, An 80s Burny, Epi Standard with Stan Hinesley pups, a Tokai Love Rocks with Motor City pickups and an Orville Vee. I picked up an '08 Dr Z Maz jr nr head in blonde tolex, I've gassed for one of these for a while. I moved four electrics out, but brought in eight more. Those numbers are out of whack. A busy gear year.

My condolences. Celebrate the good times.

Thanks guys. The thought of the gas that this place will induce is a bit scary. I've been back on the web again now for around a year, after a prolonged absence. Since getting back on, I bought and filled a pedalboard, and then some. I've been a member of a great Canadian gear forum for a while and scored several gear purchases, including my Artist. It's time to build up the gear fund again. Probably not the greatest place to come for a gear addict like me. I'm going to see if I can dig up some pics of the Cali I had, or see if my buddy or his son has some. I'll see what I can do.

LOL Thanks for the welcome guys, I think that I'm going to like it here. Unfortunately veatch, no pics of the Cali. I gave that to a bandmates son on his sixteenth birthday. That was in the mid nineties, a few years after I had picked up a PRS. I had "trained" him to be my tech, as I had a love hate relatioship with the FR. He so loved that guitar that I finally gave it up to him. He wore the paint off of it the last time that I saw it in '03. I wouldn't mind finding another, that thing ROCKED!

I didn't notice an introductory section, so I thought that I'd jump in here. I tried a while back to join, from what I gathered, the board was down then. Well, a little about me. Originally from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. I've been working in the mining industry for 20+ years. The job took me away in the eighties and I've been back here now since '03. I started playing guitar around ten years old and my skill level is still right around there. 8P My first Hamer was a late eighties Californian, HS in pearl neon yellow with a reverse headstock. I picked up a fabulous '01 Artist Custom last summer off the second owner, pictured in my avatar. I look forward to joining in on the forum. Take care and Happy New Years!
