White is right.

Me too. I'd probably cry.

I've tried replying to PMs but keep getting an error message. If you sent me a PM, please try e-mailing me at yahoo (same username).

No disrespect meant, Peter. I just don't want to own a signed guitar. But I'm sure the signature has real value to someone out there, so I would feel like a cad if I removed it. And I think your price is absolutely appropriate given the celebrity association.

Saw that one too, but I can't see paying for a celebrity signature.

Yeah, I LOVED my old BCR Jr. but can't live without a neck pickup, and don't worry, yellowburst isn't my cup of tea. I have a couple of leads on other P-90 Specials, though, so don't cry for me Argentina!

FWIW, that's what I sold mine for.

Would prefer one with at least a medium-sized neck. Save me from having to buy a LP Special, please!

These are amazing guitars. I really, really loved mine.

With only 2 screws anchoring to the body, the Vibramate looks like it could end up loosening the mounting studs in your guitar.

Considering how much Fender P-basses go for, this seems like a good deal.

Knowing that the Newport is getting the playtime it deserves made my day, thanks! The 25th is my main guitar for my new original band.

Love my plain Jane mahogany 25th (formerly BruceM's).

These look awfully familiar:

Happy birthday, and stay warm!

Yeah, I remember the trem on my old PRS CU24 as being pretty much perfect. I've read mixed things about the Wilkies.

Heavy, dude. I guess you don't need a baritone guitar to tune down to C!

It's spelled "FRAGILE" but pronounced "PUNISH ME".

Holy cow, that Artist looks like my old one! *sob*

You've been following me around, haven't you?

I think we're getting our Buzzys confused. Buzzy Fretts ≠ Michael "Buzzy" O'Keeffe.

Oh yeah, and don't forget to check out the waterfalls: http://www.nycwaterfalls.org/.

For pizza, I recommend Lombardi’s. If you’re going to be out in Brooklyn, you might want to stop by Grimaldi’s instead, but it’s not worth going out of your way just to go there IMHO. I also recommend the crab-pork soup dumplings at Joe’s Shanghai in Chinatown (NOT their other location), the Korean BBQ (kalbi) at Kang Suh, the bagels at Ess-a-Bagel (any of their locations), the American BBQ at Daisy May’s, the hummus at Nanoosh, the nouveau Mexican at Hell’s Kitchen (the restaurant, not the neighborhood, although it does happen to be located in the neighborhood), and I’m sure I’m forgetting a bunch of other great options in the low-to-mid-priced (<$50/person) range. I can suggest pricier places or other ethnic options too if you’re interested. Citysearch.com is a good resource. I think Serial had a bad experience with 30th Street Guitars, but they’ve always treated me well and always have an interesting selection of used gear. I try to avoid 48th Street if I can. I only go to the US Open when I can mooch a ticket off of my brother or one of my corporate law friends, but it’s always a blast. I hear MoMA has a really good Dali exhibit right now. Admission has gotten kinda pricey at $20, but it’s free on Friday nights, I think, if you’re willing to endure insane lines. And Central Park is always nice on weekends. East Village, Alphabet City and Lower East Side are the last bastions of hipster culture in Manhattan. Have fun!

When I deleted inlays on my custom orders, I was told it was an upcharge because Hamer uses some of the inlay holes to guide their CNC machine.

Whoa, I must have missed the thread about the nerve damage. Sorry to hear about it too.
