Happy Birthday!

Thanks for all the replies.

I was just wondering if there were any auto mechanics on the forum. I was shopping for motor oil. Can you use the store brand ( Wal-Mart,Mejier,etc.) & would they offer the same protection as the national brands ( Pennzoil,Castrol,etc.) Can i save a couple of bucks or am i being penny-wise & pound foolish? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Except for the Newport with purpose-built handwound pickups, most Hamer USA's totally outclass the pickups mounted in them. I think it figured significantly in Hamer USA's lack of recognition and market penetration. It's like putting bias-ply retreads on a Ferrari. Amen! I'm no fan of Duncan p.u.'s. The '59 & JB combo are atrocious to my ears. I like the Seth's in my Newport. When i purchased my Monaco Superpro,the first thing i did was swap the p.u.'s.

Greg,i am a tele guy & it looks terrific. More info about the p.u.'s,please?

A very sad time for anyone & anything related to the electric guitar. One of the most influential players & inventors who ever lived. R.I.P.

Beautiful guitar.

Love 's " Forever Changes ". Too many more to add.

The highest price i ever paid for an album was about ten years ago,i bought 2 of the first 3 Love albums on Elektra. I gave $40 apiece for both. First edition,VG condition. Glad i bought them when i did.

+1. It all depends on the intent behind the purchase. If you bought the guitar because you bonded with it, that's fine. If you bought the guitar because of a collectibility factor, that's fine too. If you bought the guitar to portray yourself as someone you're not, i.e. someone who busted up the guitar by playing the shit out of it a hundred times a year on some of the shittiest stages in the country, that's lame. Don't you find it amazing that others have the gall to ? your gear purchases & the reasons thereof? With all due respect,feel free to front me the $,then i will be glad to buy whatever you deem suitable. Have a pleasant day!

I own two " reliced " guitars. Love them to pieces. As far as the anti-relicers are concerned, can't we all just get along?

What a shame. R.I.P.

Beautiful guitar at a fantastic price. Congrats. to Austin.

I couldn't stand most '80's music in general,the Subpop bands spoke to me far more than the likes of Trixter & Jackyl. My vote would be for Tad & Mudhoney.

The only amp i own is a Headstrong Lil' King. I sold all my other amps. I don't gig,so having a room full of amps gathering dust just seemed wrong.

Welcome to one of the best,nicest gear forums there is.

I have both " Vivid " & " Hendrix In The West " on vinyl. I love it!

My first job was $3.50 an hour & that was 22 years ago. $9.50 sounds about right for an entry level position.

My thoughts & prayers will be with you always. Take time to get better & draw strength from your many friends & family. As far as my vibes are concerned,i purchased them from Hustler Hollywood & YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM!

HEY! I resemble that remark. So do i!

Junk in the trunk. Love my Superpro.

Very nice! Play it in good health.

Sorry,i may get flamed for my choice. When i was a young kid,Kiss was everything. The solos on " Calling Dr. Love " & " Strange Ways " still sound great. I always thought Rick Nielson had great tone. Later on i discoverd Hendrix.

I don't give a damn about anyone's so-called " hipness " factor. I think that " Annie's Song " is one of the best love songs ever written.
