  1. I completely understand what you're doing. Love the Whitesnake '87 with Jonny Sykes on guitar. Coverdale lives in Lake Tahoe (Nevada side, of course!) and I often see him and his family shopping on Sundays at the Whole Foods ("whole paychecks") Market in Reno. Once, I shouted, "yo, Coverdale you should've never fired Jonny Sykes!" He retorted, "Jonny-boy wanted to be half-owner of Whitesnake, and that ain't happin'!" I've got Van Halen I and II in the car and explain this type of music as "cock-rock" from the late 70s. Pure metal guitar in punk rock length songs! The freshman high school son digs it. the younger girls don't get it...yet. Got the Lap of Luxury from the Trick going and my 7th grader loves the Flame, so I've started to learn and play that tune. Great comeback song and decent songs. Also, in the car: Hendrix "Experience", White Stripes "Elephant", Oasis "Greatest Hits", and Iron Maiden "Powerslave" and Jeff Beck 2003 release.... Kilroy
  2. No longer active duty, but blissfully retired from 20 years of flying Navy P-3 Orions. My two younger brothers and my father were Marines, so they've got that going for them. Currently, I'm the deputy attorney general for the Nevada National Guard--does that count? kilroy
  3. hope it all turns out for the best and will keep on the prayer/vibe/karma list. Peace...rk
  4. funny...i looked and laughed with the 'kiz' inclusion for pics.. brilliant work! kilroy
  5. dude, you gotta post some pictures. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to play/demo one for 'bout three hours in a local guitar shop in indianapolis and i still remember how well it played and how cool it sounded---real bluesly and a full-bodied tone. rk posts... i've got lots of electrics i'd offer in trade...but that's not what you wanted.
  6. live in RENO, NV on Saturday, the 3rd of May. This band was my FIRST concert in louisville '80, which was a year later from the first concert that I wanted to attend, but was denied to attend for being too young. Ken Jones remembers the CheapTrick april 79 gig, because he attended it and took awesome pictures, but I was not able to experience it. But, RUSH is the real deal. There will be an afternoon HAMER/RUSH jam and bbq at the Kilroy residence, so all are welcome rk
  7. pre-weekend bump. fancy-pants matthes, you're too funny... again, i forgot about you all doing the almost same time post on the korina vector a few weeks ago. open to trades... kilroy

I'm the third owner. original pick-ups, original hard case, and it plays very well and sound even better. interested then email via this forum or [email protected] Peace B' w/U ALL...kilroy posts...
  10. Employing the KISS principle: keep it simple...(stupid). Considering this fundamental rule regarding investments and timing: the TREND is your friend UNTIL something SUBSTANTIAL and/or SIGNIFICANT occurs that alters that trend. In this case, the trend regarding 'investment' grade musical investments is positive and climbing prices will continue until that S/S event occurs. Supporting evidence: the NASDAQ tech wreck was commenced in september of 00 when INTEL pre-announced the massive inventory of chips; the rising real estate market topped with the prolonged interest hikes that has occurred during the past several months. Forecasting a top in the investment guitars IF and WHEN the baby-boomers (like me) get victimized by a prolonged 'recession' when wages stall and inflation diminishes our purchasing power. As for this NOT 'pissed off lawyer' who collects, trades, and sells, I believe the underlying fundamentals of supporting the gibson/fender/hamer appreciation are losing steam. Those doctors/lawyers/speculators can no longer use the 'equity' in their homes to purchasing power...just a thought...Around Reno/Tahoe area, the saying goes...follow the hummer to the foreclosure/bankruptcy proceeding. Alternatively, ONE NEVER GOES BROKE capturing profits or selling when the market is hot; the slang goes: sell into strength and buy when there's blood in the streets. It appears to me that there is strength in the market and it will go soft if a recession occurs. So, sell one and buy some gold (or, gold stocks AUY/AEM/AAUK), which has value and will OUTPERFORM any other 'investment' for the next five to seven years. i'll buy one of those vintage hamers...if you selling...
  11. F-IN', BLOODY, BRILLIANT...RED MARSHALL 1/2 stack and most importantly, that PARK cab must be the BEE'S KNEES...i'm impressed with the gear and i recall how 0225 for sale post got it's fair share of banter between HFCers...i, too, like kurtstuff's' lovin' this stuff. BCR's 0465 is a good/fair deal below $4k, but what do i know ... kilroy posts ...
  12. But if any HFCers contact me, I can work something out. stay away...stay away...stay away... super-duper cool piece and how's the neck size? please send PM with the answer on the neck and your best cash price or trade options.. kilroy posts ...
