Happy Birthday!

Family commitments will keep me from taking any non-medical days off for at least the next year or so, but this sounds like it's going to be a great time! The more pics (and video) the better! -Austin

Or perhaps... -Austin

Rust in Peast, and that would be "Megadeth:. -Austin Yeah, I know how its spelled ... I can also spell "peace" correctly ... imagine that! Surely I can be cut some slack, after all, I'm trying to get some work done here -Austin

Rust in Peast, and that would be "Megadeth:. -Austin

Damn Jurgen! that's quite the collection! -Austin

Great story and pic! -Austin

They aren't popular because they are useless. How many songs do you know that use those frets? I am sure they can be used for original music, but they have a very limited use. Such a small worldview Poe! I've composed several songs that use frets 25-27 on my Cali. Of course I have to get my daughter to fret the notes because my fingers are too big, but the family that plays together stays together. -Austin

I've grown to love Tyler headstocks. Nothing beats his Joe Guitar headstock though -Austin

A better album than Van Hagar's opening salvo that year? I say yes. Unquestionably. -Austin

One of my favorite videos. "My doctor said I have to take a laxative!!" was a meme around my house for years! -Austin

Such musicianship! -Austin

You just described my approach to guitar perfectly! -Austin

Ebony all the way. I like how it feels. Pau Ferro and rosewood are o.k. too. Don't like the way that finished maple feels although I had a bass with a maple fretboard and it was fine. - Austin

I don't know man. It seems that Techno Viking simnply can not be stopped from dancing: http://www.snotr.com/video/427

Actually, singing like that is a skill that can be mastered by anyone that puts in the time. From what I understand the actual volume they're singing at is very low (like Brian Johnson in AC/DC). - Austin

Music was pretty catchy, but the vocals are pretty horrible. I'm not a fan of the cookie monster thing, but the fact that the lyrics are so understandable makes it even worse Also, the head banging made me think of: -Austin

Drums *hangs head in shame* -Austin

I can fully understand that but they could also meet at an agreed upon location. "or at all" -Austin

Yeah, it's a bit weird. As on an Eclipse, the pickups end up being rasied waaay above the ring. But some people need their bling - Austin

It looks like they used the rings that are usually used with Phat Cats in Newports. Same footprint as "regular" humbucker rings. - Austin

Phat Cats are direct retrofits for humbuckers. That's a looker! - Austin

If you ask me if my guitar is heavy, I'll weigh it on my bathroom scale, tell you how much it weighs and let you decide for yourself I like to stay away from subjective information when selling items. It helps avoid buyer disatisfaction. Let's put it another way, if you play the same guitar with gunky frets, old strings and rattle-y action and then clean it up so it has polished frets, new strings, and give it a nice setup, which one will you think is more resonant? Probably the latter. But has anything about the guitar actually changed? I'd say no. Of course I can tell if a guitar is resonant, but IMO, that's something for the player to decide for themselves, not for me to tell them. Hey no one's making anyone buy a guitar over the internet without playing it first. If you decide to then IMO you need to trust that the brand you're after has more winners than clunkers and be alert for signs that the guitar might have been abused in such a way that the intitial "goodness" of it might have been compromised. Disagree if you wish, but I've sold plenty of guitars and AFAIK, no one feels like I've burned them. So I must be doing something right. Even if I don't know anything about guitars. -Austin

Apparently, everyone doesn't spend as much time on the board as Mitch and I do. Who knew? http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/index.p...amp;hl=resonant -Austin
