This was sooo funny! I was practicing this morning with my Double-D'ed Vector and my new Java Boost pedal (which BTW I got from Rob here --thanks mate!) and suddenly my amp tuned to a radio station in Portuguese or something... It was like "Calypso, calypso!", he, he. Funny as hell! It's the first time in my life this happens to me. Well, I guess I have to work a little more on the shielding of my guitar... or learn to play that kind of stuff.

Dude, don't let it go... That's a hell of a guitar!

Well, I guarantee you that playing hard rock, metal, glam rock, punk, pop rock or pop is more fun than playing gothic --Seriously! Because players in those genres still have blood running through their veins.

That's what I wanted to know... Thanks a lot!

Has anyone ever seen humbucker-sized mounting rings for Burns Trisonic pups? I actually wonder if that's doable. I know a guy who can do that kind of custom job, but I have no idea if the Trisonics will need extra routing on a guitar already routed for humbuckers. Can someone here tell me, please?

I never expected such a story! Cool!

I always admired Viv and how he ripped with taste, back in the Dio days. However, I'm glad he's playing with Def Leppard now. I don't think it's a waste. Viv seems just to be into something different these days... and in addition he's making money, which is just great.

I hear you, guys. I'll use copper foil then. Thanks a lot!

That's exactly my question: what's the good stuff, and where to get it.

Can you please suggest to me a conductive paint for shielding? Also, where to buy? Thanks in advance!

A Standard is about 100% more comfortable to play than a Les Paul. I could not believe it, but it's fact. And for access to the higher frets, no comparison. I don't find LP's to be comfortable at all. But a Standard is almost as confy as a Strat - believe it or not. Perfectly balanced. The only downside is that the hardcase is as big as your grandmothers coffin, and that the upper horn gets banged into stuff at times. But I can live with that. It's only rock n' roll... +1 I won't talk about the sound, because I've never played a USA Standard --only USA and import Explorers, as well as import Standards. But yes, 100% agree: they are waaaay more ergonomic than a Les Paul. The shape seems to attract chicks as well --my wife loves them, as well as several other chicks I know. To me, the only issue with the higher frets is that I cannot do my "butterfly vibrato", but besides that, the shape is just perfect, as there is no other guitar out there so perfectly balanced.

I like the look of the Stetsbar, but I guess that's just me. Everyone else seems to think it's ugly as hell.

He will be missed, but his legacy will be alive for centuries. RIP!

That's crazy. For the investment it might be OK --well, I dunno... However, unless you're into serious cork sniffing, I'm sure you can get a great (and I mean really GREAT) PAF tone for a fraction of that price.

Co-inkadintley, I've just been looking at these. Which model did you get zorrow ? I got the cheapest one. Amazing anyway.

The ball does produce a lot of resistance and provides a hell of a workout for your wrists, forearms and shoulders, but I have no idea if it works as a therapeutic device. All I know is that I enjoy playing with it.

Got a power ball of these: http://nsdball.com/ It is really addictive and it gives your arms and shoulders a hell of a workout. They also say it's good for musicians, but I don't know if that's true. However, I do know that I'm having a great time playing with it. Fun as hell! :cool:

What about a "White North HFC jam" in Ottawa or Montreal? I've been thinking about this for a little while, he, he...

You guys should organize a Florida HFC event the next winter.

...which I like better --and I was actually thinking on that one when I posted.

My list is very short: sw686blue (Nick) GusS (Gus) BlueRedWhite (Ana) I know however some of you do have very long lists. Wanna share them here?

Too cool! Would anybody sell me a checkerboard Vector?

It's funny how nobody has said the word "Kahler" so far --and it won't be me who will, of course, he, he...

Inlays are too fancy, it's got a custom paint job and a locking tremolo... I guess we need a slab of mahogany, no inlays (or just dots), no binding, just one pup, wraparound bridge, natural finish, no knobs (or just one) and no pickguard if possible.

What the hell is that?
