Nice grab! Probably should go on the 'never sell' pile. Congrats, Brian. We wish you both the best.

A man of great taste.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Alcohol will fix anything. .......where's that damn hiccup smiley anyways.......

Got it and replied, Scott. Good luck.

Feynman says it best. 'Unique' is probably the kindest thing I'll ever hear about it. Thanks, Chris! Two Firebirds and a Rio BBQ, JohnnyB. I can't wait to plug it in. Jay's wiring should crush it.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Too cool! That looks great. The switch tip is a stroke of genius. The pickguard is better than I could have imagined. ...but you're right - that damn headstock sticks out like a sore thumb. What would you do with it? Body color? Black?

Mostly this. I DO think that the string-thru-the-body thing has merit. The way a typical tailpiece sits loose on the studs has an effect, the way the studs fit loose in the anchors has an effect, etc etc etc. Which is why the Sustain Block is such a great bridge - fewer moving parts, and a solid anchor. BUT - either a guitar works for you or it don't. And sometimes even replacing all the 'bad' parts won't help.

There ya have it.

In a similar vein, mine likes the one in the box going out.

Waffles with Nutella? I'm in.

Wouldn't he have some sort of insurance to cover stuff like that (I don't know - I'm not a business guy)? How much is a used import Gretsch worth? I'm thinking that if a fan can blow them off the wall, this guy needs better hangers. Tough call with a long-time relationship/friendship on the line. Good luck. OR Buy it, send it to Greg or Jay, then to Stike. One bitchin' 5125 Electromatic.

None of the above.

The neck will should be similar if you get one within a couple of years of your Monaco. But remember - there are 'vintage' and 'modern' carves.

Just do like the rest of us and get (at least) one of every model. Then thin the herd.

Ok, we let Martin back in. Now can we please close the borders?!? Welcome back.

F*ck me. Unbelievable. Beautiful guitar. Where's the jaw-drop smiley? Congrats!

$299.00, out in October. Very cool.

I swear I'm going to get to one of your shows. Honest.

You get it?

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/msg/2889960020.html Somebody grab this.

Put Mad Max on it. Call it a Mel-a-caster.

Well done! Good tone, good lick - I like it a lot. It was mic-to-tape in the garage, right?

I have crud. Does that count?

Didn't watch the show, but saw the video. Those guys are loving every minute. That's awesome.
