Thanks Mark (pluto). I couldn't have said it any better. Suhrs are great guitars Greg. I'd love to have one to go with my two Andersons. The Suhr line would make a great addition to your store along with Hamer. You'd have a great one-two punch and a great selection for the bolt-on crowd and the neck-thru crowd. edited to add: And don't forget Don Grosh either. Another great bolt-on guitar and another vibe. The most "vintage" of all of them (Anderson, Grosh, Suhr, Tyler) IMO. Hi Tom! Happy New Year!

I've owned three Suhrs and still own one. As (mostly) everyone said, the build quality is exceptional. Great selection of woods, impeccable fretwork (due to the plek machine), and IMO, great pickups. Comparing Suhr to Anderson is like apples and oranges. They both make excellent guitars, but have a way different vibe. I have one of each along with two D'Pergo's and they all are exceptional guitars (for bolt on guitars ).

thanks again Joe. PS-don't forget to send me a contact number for UPS if you haven't already. thanks, Mark

So, it's headed BACK to Reno, NV? Funny how that works out, doesn't it!!

This guitar is SOLD. Thanks, Joe. Joe, please read email for my paypal address. Thanks, Mark

Email sent back to you. Thanks Joe

No love for the vector? What about 1800 shipped to you (US only) via 2nd day UPS.

AND YOU GUYS CALL ME "FLIPPY"!!!! hehe Yea, his 4 weeks vs. your 4 minutes. That's kinda like the same thing... $1900 is a sick, stoopid, low price for this guitar! actually, for the record, I've had it for 2 months. (but, yes I have flipped flopped quite a bit over the 2 months!!)

this is back up for sale-can't get used to the neck at all. 1900 shipped anywhere in the US via UPS 2nd day air. No trades please. thanks, Mark

thanks to those who inquired about the guitar. To those who sent a message via the hamer message board, sorry I didn't get back to you guys earlier but my msn email account put those messages in my trash file for some reason. Anyway, I'm going to give the neck another shot. It is very big, but I'm willing to give the guitar some time to get used to it. Sorry and thanks.

Thanks Poe for the history. Hate to admit it, but I actually used to like the Wildhearts! They were (are?) like Motorhead mixed up with the Beatles-Suckerpunch is a rocking song. Anyway, thanks for the info. and help over the last couple of days. The Wildhearts kicked absolute ass when they opened for The Darkness a summer or two ago. Great band. AND Ginger was wearing a Cheap CHICK t-shirt when I saw them. Killer Vector. What's the deal with the neck profile? The neck is supposedly a 59 les paul profile neck. To me, it feels a bit fatter. I have a very difficult time getting used to fat necks given the size of my hands. In addition, I used to own a gibby v before in the early 90's, but damn, sitting down with a V shape guitar can be a hard adjustment. Back to the Wildhearts, do you know if CJ is still with them or did he leave again?

This guitar is going back up for sale. I bought this guitar from kilroy and have not been able to adjust to the neck profile. Selling this for $2000 shipped anywhere in the USA. Thanks, Mark

email sent-Thanks BCRGreg, although, it looks like Poe has the history covered.

Thanks Rob (kilroy) for the great deal. I just sent out the check-Really, it's in the mail!!! Thanks also to those I emailed about this guitar for giving me savvy and much appreciated advice re: this guitar. I don't know much about the history of this guitar except that the neck was spec'ed from a les paul and that BCR did the pickguard stuff. Just out of curiosity, and I suppose Edgarallenpoe would be the one to ask, but does anyone else know more about it (year, why the neck was spec'ed from a LP, how many have owned this guitar besides Poe, Jerseydrew and kilroy, etc.)? Thanks, Mark

Waysted = best band name ever. And quite appropriate since Pete was always waysted back then.

Yeah, that bathroom story was definitely the high light of the interview session. I couldn't stop laughing, but I had to keep reversing the part when Phil talks to the manager in the bathroom cause I couldn't understand what the hell Phil said. I wonder who that manager was?

No, the DVD only includes the German concert with the new line up and a live studio session again with the new line-up. Ironically, this line-up has changed already as Andy Parker is back as Jason Bonham decided to leave (which is too bad because Bonham is awesome). If you want dvd footage from the classic line-up, check out the critic review of the Strangers in the Night DVD-it has four concert songs of a really young Michael Schenker with UFO and 2 more songs (one with Mick Bolton and the other being a made for TV video with Schenker) or the Too Hot to Handle-Story of UFO reissue DVD that has a bit of Schenker.
