GuitarTown at Copper Mt. Colorado 2005 Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, Mark Selby, Buddy Guy, Lee Ritenour, Eric Johnson. Aaaah, lots of notes per dollar.

There a lot to the being 'unconventional'. That's the way WCR does it. Jim threw out all the rules and build each PU to its final tone, not by original manufacturing or materials.

I just read an interesting interview with the guy who's building the limited replicas of EVH's guitar. He said when they pulled the p/u out to duplicate it, it registered 0 on his ohm meter. He thought he broke it taking it out and freaked! But they tested it and it sounded great. It was definitely messed up, but in a good way. Go figure!

Sure they do. Look at the Dimarzio website under Vintage Output and they different list neck and bridge models for most their pu's. Although, not as many sets under the Shredder HO section.I just find it interesting that even Hamer and Gibson does it. They mix Seymours' '59/JB in a lot of instruments as well as Gibby putting in 490R/490T (although crappy) Burstbucker1/2 sets in guitars.

This just hit me as very weird regarding Humbuckers. OK, the humbucker guitars most of us consider to be in the 'Holy Grail' category are the old Gibby Flametops like Billy Gibbons' "Pearly Gates", Claptons 335's neck PU "Woman-tone", Larry Carlton's 335, Flying V's, etc. All with either Pre-PAF's, PAF's, and even some right after that as 'Early Patent Number' P/U's (My 60's 335 has these and they are phenomenal) Here's where it gets interesting... All these guitars with PAF's had similar pickups installed. None of current over/under-wound pickups. And, what I've read is all the older PAF era pickups were made similar and just installed into either the neck or bridge position randomly by the factoryworker. No ohm matching or selecting. And these guitars are mostly considered the watermark of tone. (Yes, there are always dog guitars and dog PU's) Now, God forbid you install two identical ohm HB's in a guitar today. Every PU maker now makes sets that consist of a neck and bridge that are completely different! If the old way is considered the pinnacle of tone, why are we obsessed with this? OK, talk amongst yourselves.

Gilda doing Patti Smith with Paul Shaffer playing drums!

Here's a guitar that I saw in the 70's He was amazing. I went out a picked up their album and it was killer!! They did a great version of ZZTop's 'Chevrolet.' The guys name is Snuffy Walden. He went on to TV scoring and has did 'Thirty Something' 'West Wing' and many others. The bands name was Stray Dog. I have two of their LPs. (I need to transfer them to CD)

Yeah, He's amazing, And most don't know that he plays a ton of guitar parts on Aeorsmith's "Get your Wings" The producer called him in when Perry couldn't cut the tracks clean enough. If you listen to Train kept a rollin', you can really hear Hunters licks in the solos. They stand out.

Tommy Bolin (Zephyr, James Gang, Deep Purple, Solo) Steve Hunter (Secret studio player for Aerosmith, Lou Reed Live) Mike Keneally (Zappa, Solo) Robben Ford (Yellowjackets, Miles Davis, Solo) Warren Haynes (Govt Mule, Allman Bro)

I was Jones'n for Gregs Trans Black Robin. I would've grabbed it but this Redwood came available and I couldn't resist.

Those guys at Musicground always have wacky high-end stuff. Ridiculously expensive though.

Great to hear about your wife. My wife had the same thing done about 5 years ago and now she's skiing! So, anything is possible. I can really use the TonePros bridges. PM sent.

It sold too - Thanks for asking. Here' s ebayer that usually sells them. It's where I got mine, he's trustworthy, I had no problem at all with the deal (even though he is in Japan). It can't hurt to sent him an email and ask what he has for sale. I got mine directly from him and not on ebay. (He gave me a better price too) http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmijsixstringskatana

The Zendrive just sold too.

The SG is going to a new home... Bluesking's. - Thanks Justin!

The Marshall 50 watt is now in a new home. Come on ya'll that cool Edwards LP is still sittin' here!

curry, You are absolutely right. This Edwards LP is 7lbs 14 oz. Great weight for a Paul.

The neck on the Edwards is slightly bigger than a Gibson Slim 60's. It has a bit more meat to it, but not as far as the 50's style carve. Yes, it has Duncan's. A '59 SH-1 at the neck & a JB HS-4 at the bridge.

Ken, Here it is. And I will also include one of the 'good' Gibson pearl decals that can be applied to magically turn it into a Gibson!

Oh, I forgot, the Tokai goes to... E-L-E-V-E-N!

Thanks for the compliment on the pics. I have a new Canon Digital Rebel/XT.

How about just a list of the guitars so we can get on with our lives! Add pics later.

No calling dibs. That's not fair. That's like saying... "I have dibs on anything really cool!".

It's been about 18 hrs since he posted the sale yesteday. That's over 45 mins per guitar. (sleep doesn't count - does it?
