  1. I'll use this opportunity to also go on record as becoming a convert to Gotoh 1996Ts! I had some rather unimpressive experiences with them in the 2010's. However, these last 2 on the respective MJ builds have been stellar! I'm wondering if the noteworthy attention to detail Japanese builders seem to impart also accounts for superior set up of these 1996Ts.
  2. Imagine my delight when, after scoring the MJ Series So-Cal, I discovered this beast! Shares much if not all of the mojo and attention to detail that it's Charvel cousin does. Kick ass materials and components, superb craftsmanship and (most of) the specs that I crave. All at a price point that is a $100 more than the considerably less impressive MIM Pro Mods. Now, if they would just put a fookin' toggle switch on it, it'd be totally on point!! 😆
  3. This was a nice surprise for me as well. I'd have normally expected Tyler to be the one belting out the bluesy lyrics. Funny how things turn out.
  4. Yup. He has contributed to a number of brands. He was also collaborating with BC Rich on their flagship super Strat- the Gunslinger. I owned this one for a short time.
  5. If that's what floats your boat, far be it from me to judge.
  6. Hideous is a subjective assessment. And you know what they say about opinions being like assholes...
  7. Pity it's a top mounted Floyd, 22 frets, blade switch and standard-oriented head stock.
  8. I did not know Karl Sandoval worked at Charvel but it now makes sense given that he eventually ventured out on his own and made Randy's famous polka-dot V
  9. Grover Jackson waxing historical on his role in the history of Charvel and Jackson Guitars. Don't really care about Rockett Guitars (lost me the minute they offered relic-ed, new guitars) but the interview was very informative.
  10. Punctuation and word order matter. 1986 Hamer USA TLE Custom. Red. Boomerang Inlays. Tele-Style Electric Guitar . Was that so hard?
  11. I'm hoping to create a replacement for the recently acquired So-Cal San Dimas. Want a H/S with the S being a Sustainiac. As a result, the guard will need to include the 2 mini toggle controls for the Sustainiac, a Vol and Tone pot and a 3 way toggle.
  12. Coincidentally, Josh Gravelin recommended them as well.
  13. Nah, no tape but I am going to get it painted up in an eye-searing 80's-esque color.
  14. I know W.D. makes pickguards but not sure whether they can also wire them up. Any suggestions as to who can fabricate custom pickguards and wire it up?
