Happy belated birthday! That video was cool!

Have we been mispronouncing Ibanez?
Dana_V replied to Ting Ho Dung's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I like how Rigs of Dad puts the virgulilla over the "n": Ibañez. -
Everything @kizanski said, plus... I think everyone here will agree that it's well worth the wait. And if you describe what you're looking for in a pickup, @JGravelin can custom build it for you.

Oh I do. The Eveready cat, yellow-and-blue Ray-O-Vacs...and of course the Radio Shack Battery Club (stock photos).

2020: Your Best Scores & Biggest Fails of the Year!
Dana_V replied to gtrdaddy's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Good: I added TWO awesome guitars to the family in 2020. In January we drove up to Sully HQ and picked up my blue-sparkle Sully ’92 that I had ordered in 2018. With a custom pickup by Josh, this thing is a rock-n-roll beast. And it sparkles. Then, in July, FedEx delivered the best guitar in my entire collection: Shishkov DC Custom 0092 (interesting coincidence between the Shish serial number and the Sully model number). I picked out the wood for the top on July 10, 2017 and it was delivered on July 5, 2020. Although I was furloughed from my job in March, I retained ful -
PSA: Sully '71 Trella Glamazon

Yes, Stike did the finish. And yes, he does some awesome work for Sully - like my '92. -
No affiliation, other than I have seen this guitar in person at Sully HQ and pictures don't do the finish justice. Glitter is embedded into the clearcoat and it sparkles in the light. Personally, if I'm gonna pay $3K for a guitar it had better come with a hardshell case, but this was built as a NAMM demo so maybe that explains the gig bag. https://reverb.com/item/38210604-sully-guitars-71-trella-custom-2019-glamazon-honey-burst-hipshot-locking-tuners-pigtail-bridge

I don’t mean shows that happened before you were born or were on the other side of the country or something; we all wish we could have seen the Beatles rooftop concert or Hendrix set his guitar on fire at Monterey. No, I mean concerts that you had access to and could have attended, but for whatever reason, didn’t. Here are a few of mine: KISS, November 7, 1975, McDonald Gym, Beaumont, TX. In November of 1975 I was 14 and my friend/neighbor/bandmate Keith was 15; we were both KISS fans. Neither of us was old enough to drive, of course, but my parents would have taken us had we

Gibson Acquires Mesa Boogie - WTF?
Dana_V replied to tbonesullivan's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Back in 2000 when I got my Nomad, there was a little-known "professional courtesy" agreement between M/B and the company I work for. There was a lot of paperwork involved and I had to wait for the next batch of Nomads to be built, but I ended up paying considerably less than retail. I mailed a cashier's check to M/B and they shipped the amp directly to me. By the time I bought my Mark Five in 2015, though, that deal was long gone and I had to pay full price like everybody else. -

Yikes. I'm glad I got my Boogie(s) when I did. I'm thinking the new line will look something like this:
