No way in hell.

Crazy price!

Get mended up soon, Brooks.

And that is the key distinction!

Well, I guess that the farmer wouldn't just give the fox the key to the henhouse, right?

Glad they got there! We still have a great selection available if anybody missed the boat the first time around. I'll post some updated pics (of the picks) soon. There are also a VERY limited supply of the souvenir pick run we did for the Chicago Jam last weekend if anybody still wanted those.

They had a copy of the blueprint for the 3/4 Standard on display at the first few HFC events at the factory, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want somebody making copies of their designs.

They have some in-house, but I can't imagine they'd ever release or permit them to be released.

It's ON! Had a great time hanging and chatting with some of the HFC'ers who made it to Chicago for the event: Elduave, MCChris, Thundernotes, Steve Haynie, Earachemyeye, BadgerDave, Shredmeister, Bloozguy Ray, Bubs_42 and HamStd. I'm sure there will be some pics and updates tomorrow...

This guy is gonna be trouble, I just know it...

Worth checking Priceline... Just remember, there is no "Mustang Sally" allowed at the Jam.

Quick word on dress code for the Cliff Dwellers Luncheon/Presentation on Saturday afternoon. Dress is CASUAL. Jeans are fine, but shorts, flip flops, sweats, fuzzy bunny slippers, wife beaters and gang colors are not. In other words, leave your "Jersey Shore" stuff at home!

That makes a lot more sense...

Only problem is that we don't have tickets to the event!

Damned good thing we didn't snag those tickets on StubHub a couple of weeks ago!

Thanks, Scott! Definitely check out the Cliff Dwellers "virtual tour" to make sure you get there! "Kid"? One of my all-time favorite songs, and JH-S is one of my all-time favorite players as well. Know anybody who could handle the Chrissie part?

dboy66: The address for the Cliff Dwellers presentation/luncheon is: 200 S Michigan Ave Fl 22 · Chicago (312) 922-8080 We're looking to get underway at noon, and that should run until @ 3pm. The Jam at Excalibur starts at 6pm, but we'll be doing the load-in, etc. shortly after the Cliff Dwellers event, so not sure what will be going on from 3:30 to 6. I imagine some people will probably get together to grab a bite to eat or something. That will be very informal, of course! I had some nametags made for the event, so everybody will be able to meet up by "real" name and HFC handle.

Exactly like that. Excellent!

Like the Midwest version of "Jersey Shore" d-bags?

That's awesome! Definitely adds to the whole spirit of the event... Looking forward to meeting the HFC'ers and special guests I've never met in person before, but now there's a whole other group of guests to consider.

Weather is looking GREAT for the weekend too, everybody! Friday Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 60s. Friday Night through Sunday Mostly clear. Lows in the upper 40s. Highs in the upper 60s.

Still ridiculously cheap with less than 15 minutes to go...

Stupid cheap for a Max. If I wasn't going to Chicago this week, I'd have snagged that one!

Not quite what you're looking for, but sorta... http://cgi.ebay.com/Strat-70-s-CBS-Style-R...=item2a0a9c51eb http://cgi.ebay.com/STAR-PEARLOID-GUITAR-N...=item4cf0c986cf
