  1. Dude...get it right. Nik hand chisels these with a fingernail file and continually taps the top to ensure the perfect tuning of the instrument. I haven't seen this level of attention to detail since the last time I was in Joe Shlabotnik's shop. Here is my X-ray of the guitar so you can see the level of detail that Nik puts into these....
  2. This....and you guys know that I get moist for Korina, Brazilian, and Nik Huber. LOL!!!!
  3. Big shout out to Gary...you rock bro. That is all....go about your business.
  4. I bet he is selling it because he found out it was fluted.
  5. That sux. I really like them. I can get 6 months out of a set, and that is with regular rehersals and gigs. No way I can get that out of a set of EB or D'Addario. I also agree with Badger about their tone...IMHO they just sound better, especially the rock formula on my Huber Redwood. That absolutely blows.
  6. Not sure Brewie does kits but if he does, I would certainly give him first crack. I have heard great things about the Ceriatone amps. The Trainwreck clone I heard was simply stunning.
  7. Wait....wait...listen closely...closer...closer...hear that? That is the worlds smallest violin playing its friggin heart out, just for you.
  8. Kis is having problems posting here for some reason. He wanted to let you all know that he is selling the following guitars. E-mail him with any questions. 4 digit Standard, unbuggered and very clean Dragon scale finish Virt Original Watson in black finish with hardtail.
  9. I seriously don't know why this is even an issue. The clothing and furniture manufacturers have been doing this for decades. Hell...the only pair of *non* reliced jeans I own were given to me as a gift. LOL!!! You guys who are bitching better not own a pair of stonewashed or faded jeans...it would be a bit hypocritical...don't you think? ROTFLMAO!
  10. Agreed on some of the ESPs.... great guitars.
  11. I am talking about a brand new guitar purchased in the late 80's early 90's and it fell apart in under 1 yr. Inexcusable IMHO and the fact that they told me "tough shit" is even more inexcusable. That kind of shit would never happen with a Hamer or Jackson. They aren't perfect companies, but I have a hard time believing that they wouldn't at least replace the parts in question, especially after being told by A LICENSED REPAIR CENTER that the guitar was a POS and it wasn't my fault it fell apart.
  12. Ibanez doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Hamer or Jackson. I owned one of those floral print JEMs. It cost me $1800 at the time and it was a *complete* POS. The thing literally rusted apart...I shit you not. The trem and neck plate damn near disintegrated. Ibanez refused to stand by their product, claiming that I had "corrosive sweat". Bullshit. I had a stable of guitars at that time and *none* of them fell apart. Just because they spent more money on endorsements doesn't mean they built a good guitar. Did you ever wonder *why* they had to have so many paid endorsers? They built a POS and then then outspent everyone in advertising...they are the guitar world equivalent of Bill Gates and Microsoft.
  13. I have never liked that type of figuring. Is burl really redwood? I don't think they are the same thing, but I could be wrong. If you were going with redwood, Nik Huber can't be touched.
  14. I would absolutely agree with that. Unfortunately, you cannot get them on any other guitar or buy them as a separate item IIRC.
  15. The PRS trem system rules. Best trem I ever used. The Huber trem is *very* similar.
  16. HBD to one of the truly funny guys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. To quote my wife upon returning from the last Midwest jam..."Chris does be a fool!!!"
  17. 15 posts and no mention of Angus Young? Not the most technically proficient guitarist, but a killer entertainer.
  18. I saw one of these locally for a cheap price and was wondering what they were worth and what you guys thought about them. Thanks in advance.
  19. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
  20. I would actually put The Cult's version of "Born to be Wild" behind only "Shook me all Night Long" in that list.
