You're whining about REM getting in but you have nothing to say about Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five?!? I think the whole idea of a RnR hall of fame is kind of silly so I don't really pay attention to any of it (unless I wander past a thread like this), but perhaps it's time they changed their name to the Modern Music Hall of fame? Of course then they'd have to go back and induct all sorts of people they missed the first time around... -Austin

My condolences. -Austin

Congrats on the new Hamer. If you're anything like most of the guys who hang around here, it won't be your last... -Austin

Hot Da-yum!!!

Here's Mr McGruff (my former Diablo): Here are headstocks from a couple former Cali Elites (coolest headstock ever IMO, especially with the stadium logo): Don't have any 6-inline headstock pics from my current guits, but they all look like the last Cali Elite anyway, so... -Austin

True, but one can never have enough Hamers ! Anyway, if you ever get the one with the ebony board back, I'll take it. Go get'er Kurtstuff! -Austin

Any (single-necked) set-neck Calis in that christmas sack? -Austin

Congratulations!! -Austin

Coolest Chap EVER!!

Holy crap. I've heard of the wiggles, but that's the first time I've actually seen them doing their thing. My parents didn't have any such child-focused music around the house when I was a kid (in fact, they like to fondly remember how I would burst into tear whenever my dad put on a particularl Yardbirds song ), and I'm going to do my best to make sure my kids don't either. I don't think I could take it . -Austin

Great new pic!! Coolest. Custom. Paintjob. Ever. -Austin

My condolences.

Sacrilege!!! -Austin

Austin would hog all the Californians... Only the ones with boomers -Austin

The neck on my Flame Maple Cali Elite was beefier than the neck on the other 2 Cali's I've had and beefier than the neck on my Diablo. Of all the Hamer shredders I've had (so far), it's had the beefiest neck. -Austin

I was cruising the Dimarzio site and I noticed they use you for the sound byte for the ProTrack. Very Cool! Now what "Mahogany Bodied Hamer" were you using? -Austin

Big manufacturers ship guitars like this all this time. Since they're mass-produced, most people won't care if it gets damaged and they have to have another one shipped to them. Also, it's probably cheaper for companies like Fender to just eat shipping damage as opposed to insuring their guitars. -Austin

I've had guitars shipped to me in gig bags, but no case at all? I don't think I'd ever do that (or accept a used guitar shipped to me that way). -Austin

Glad the experience lived up to expectations! You definitely spec'd out a cool guitar. Now post some pics! -Austin

Take lots of pictures during the tour if you can and post them; I'd like to see what they're up to. -Austin

Awesome! However, you promised picS and you only posted one

Happy birthday DE! -Austin
