Wow! That's freaking obscene!

Yeah, you would think.

With the misspelled lyrics: "Ain't that a sham. You're the one to blam."

I had a similar experience a few years ago. The album is simply that good.

You sure it wasn't because Mom said you had better be in that station wagon by 9:30pm, because it was a school night? (I keeeeeeed) lol nope! It was a rainy August day. ...and I was home in time to watch "Cal Jam II" footage on TV that evening.

I just never (even to this day) liked their music very much, aside from a song or two. Tyler's insufferable persona is magnified by a factor of ten if you're already not digging the music. They were headlining the performance I walked out on, which was a mistake (them headlining, I mean), because they followed Frank Marino, a positively incendiary Neal Schon with Journey, and Ted Fucking Nugent. After all of that, their sloppy, stoned asses spilled out on stage and, even at 12 years old, I knew when I had seen enough.

Watching that Sunday night, I was reminded why I walked out on them in '78.

Yeah, but can you gig a frog with it?

T-51's! LOL!

Word has gotten out.

Sorry I didnt realize. I guess I dont pay enough attention to these kinds of things. I'm not surprised that with would be since its so awesome. haha how about weathercaster or plastercaster? How about you leave the clever parodies to me and you work on the new HFC site, Brother Theodore? Edited to add: Sorry, I was talking to RECHTS last night and some smartass rubbed off on me.

Hey FACKYOU, mang! Who put this thing together, Huh? ME! Dat's who! Who do I trust? Me!

Teleblaster has been done to death. Find another Batermaster...

Clever!!

LOL I don't know. It just came to me.

The Fackyo BATERMASTER. Yeah... That has a ring to it.

Batermaster?

I was told that Fender had an enormous display at NAMM this year, but only displayed a few Korean Hamers.

Like I said, In October, Paul Hamer mentioned during his presentation that Rick's checkerboard Standard got damaged during that show, but that he was able to find a replacement, having bought one from Peter (who just happened to have one lying around). I spoke with Peter after the presentation to ask if I had understood that correctly and he said that I had, to which we both shared a chuckle (because I called him some swear word out of pure jealousy). If I misunderstood, it wasn't for lack of trying.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, this is a work of art and it looks incredible. It's hard to believe that this wasn't done sooner. Then there's that other hand. First of all, he already had a spare - Fung sold it to him last year. But I guess if you're the great Rick Neilsen, you can never have enough spares (even if you've made it all these years without any). So, from what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) Hamers are only being made one afternoon a week. The rest of the week they're making Guilds and Ovations. A friend just submitted a quote for a custom order and was told a year. People being told six months are actually waiting a year, so a year estimate doesn't sound realistic. I don't think anyone out there believes that Rick "waited his turn" or even waited what would be considered reasonable for something as custom made as this guitar. No, he went to the front of the line, and I'll wager got his guitar in record time. Either way, guitars like this one are the reason there is a year - year and a half waiting time on custom orders now, and I would venture to guess that most of the Hamer/Cheap Trick disciples don't have a problem with this. Well I do, even though I have no plans of ordering anything. It just bothers me out of the principle of fairness.

The original (or at least the second) Telegib...

My '72 Thinline. There's something very ugly and cool about them, but a Tab Benoit fanboi like myself had to have one either way.

It definitely deserves a spot on the list. No doubt about that!

You mean playing the same solo in every song for the past 40 years?

Woof! <Salute!>I salute every time I see it. I could not order a guitar more perfect than that one for myself. Every option I could think of down to the Sustainblock. I salute every time I see it as well. With my penis.
