I have an amp that does quite well without a pedal. Overdrives have done nothing for me except take out some high frequencies. The Robin Trower overdrive did nothing for me when it was used with an unmodified Fender Bassman head. Volume knobs work better for me. So why do people use overdrives? What are they doing that I have not learned to do?

My friend has moved on to Facebook and no longer goes to Kramerforumz.

Hamer would have ordered logo sheets in batches. Someone filling an order may have pulled up the font on their computer and printed out what looked good on that day. The "USA" definitely changed over the years.

I have never understood how to make an overdrive/boost pedal work. Please give us the Boost for Dummies simple explanation.

...or a partial refinish.

A friend used to be a known Kramer collector. An e-mail was sent, if the address is still good. Maybe we will have some good news for you.

For what went into creating that guitar, it was sad seeing it parted out. It is good knowing it is whole again.

That sounds like every rock band from the 1980's radio compacted into one song.

And the strings still have tension on them.

Well... Bill has a positive attitude. That is good!

Asking ain't get... Oh, what's the use?

Who knew that strippers can play musical instruments?

Kansas was always incredible. Sadly, they moved on to a legacy band now. Within 10 years of joining Kansas Ronnie Platt became the most senior member of the touring band.

Sweetwater has Les Paul Customs for less than $5999. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPCEBGH1E--gibson-custom-les-paul-custom-ebony-with-ebony-fingerboard https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPCU700EBGH--gibson-70s-les-paul-custom-electric-guitar-ebony

For someone who cannot transition well from one scale length to another the long scale Les Paul might work for them. The higher price for this guitar makes it feel like more of a gimmick than a useful option.

So it was funny like comedy used to be.

My description of them is "dinner music for people who do not know what they are eating."

Platypus sounds like an influence on The Dixie Dregs.

Acoustic guitar players rarely bend strings. SRV was trying to do the equivalent of bending up two tones on an acoustic. It was a lot of work that few people would ever notice.

I like it!

My preference has been for medium to thicker necks in the last 20 years. Recently, the thought of selling my thinner neck Special has been getting more and more justified. It could be a matter of "what you're used to" rather than willingness to adapt, but I really think it is time to say goodbye to thin necks.
