  1. "it was like dating a supermodel who was in her slum-around-with-musicians phase" Was this your Glory Custom:
  2. Really?? I wonder why they did that, especial on the opaque finishes.
  3. Yup, basically a stripped down Sunburst and also no maple veneer top either.
  4. Oh wait, that's a fake Keith Richards: The real Keef plays without the low E 😁
  5. I heard that also, which accounts for the "Joliet Jake" inscribed TR cover Also: As the story goes, John bought two Hamer Standards, to give to Keith Richards, & his son. One had the fingerboard inlayed with: "Keith Richards" The other story I heard was that they were stolen. Not sure which is true though.
  6. It's night blindness. It's getting worse, and I try not to drive at night, unless it's a very well lit road. One reason I ordered the 12ver with 10 Victory inlays on the ebony board is so I could see them in low light....well...maybe that's not entirely...true...
  7. How in hell do you play that neck. I have a hard enough time in low light with an Ebony or Rosewood fingerboard, but that checkerboard is crazy!
  8. That's Greg Koch (but Me thinks you already knew that).
  9. When you're in the audience, and you only go to a few to several concerts a year, it's damaging to your ears. When you're the tour sound Front of House Engineer, you're ears are getting those levels for 3 hours or more, every single night. And it doesn't have to be that way. I've sat next to FOH engineers for Yes, Carl Palmers ELP, RATT, John Lodge, Peter Wolf, The Doobie Bros., Ace Frehley, and numerous Latin, & Rap artists. The one thing they all had in common was that the FOH and Monitor engineers had the levels up way too high. I had concert goers telling me it was too loud....that's the people who paid to see the show who were saying it was too loud. RobB is 100% correct. The older and deafer the sound engineers get, to louder they turn it up.
  10. I wasn't a fan of the music, but I was a fan of the pioneering work they did, along with Sound Engineer Dan Healy, starting with the wall of sound and subsequent systems.
  11. Well...it's all Bag End cabinets ( and they made great cabinets back then), and I already owned one of Gene Simmons' 15" Gauss speakers from a late 70's tour so...I'll pass.
  12. This all reminded me of looking through the Warmoth and others websites. The prices for necks especially, are really expensive. But everything to build it yourself is very expensive. Add in the custom build labor costs and things get very prohibitive.
  13. I do a lot of tech support at concerts for one particular venue. The system always gets pushed hard, and even ear plugs don't cut it. The venue seats 5,000 and the total system power to the line arrays, subs, and front fills is 200,000 watts. It gets insanely loud sometimes, and dampens my desire to go and see a concert.
  14. Weren't those originally Hamer wood rejects that were sold to PRS for their high end guitar.....oh never mind.....
