Feynman cut in line in front of me once.
Was it to buy a guitar stand?

"Gravity Storm" is pretty cool when you realize all those dive bombing sounds are NOT the whammy bar. He does it with his left hand by bending the chords first and releasing them. Like this:
Are you sure? It looks and sounds like he has a Whammy pedal going for that.

Right hand!!?!?!?!?!!!!
Ouch. That's the saddest part. I hope everything heals up soon, and gets back to 100%.

My Robin Rawhide.
Transparent orange with scrape binding on body and f-hole; flamey maple neck with rosewood fingerboard; cream, pearloid pickguard & pickups.
It weighs a mere 6.4 lbs, and is (to coin a phrase) "resonant as hell!"
Really nice guitar!

Guitar -> cable -> amp
Unless on a gig, then it's:
Guitar -> volume pedal -> tuner -> amp
What, no cables when you gig?

I really didn't see the attraction of these strings. I tried a few sets a couple of years ago (I guess when he was still shipping), and they really didn't seem all that. They were slightly different, but I really like my EB strings, especially at $4 a set or less. They certainly didn't hold up any longer, either.
I understand about the feel aspect, though. Have you tried Thomastik? DR Blues? I like both of those strings for their feel. (But, then again, I like the feel of my EB power slinkys, so take my recommendations with a grain of salt.)
Good luck, Dave, on resolving this!

Wow, that is really sweet looking.
Doesn't that have special pickups?
...Drool...

I bet he figured out how to remotely drain your battery so he would have to come back...

Wow, RoyB,
That looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

It actually sounded better than when I saw VH about 10 years ago. Alex was missing beats right and left, and everyone else sounded drunk.
...Sorry, but true. Maybe I saw a bad show?

I have a Monaco III that is in great condition. The only non-stock items are the ebony tuning pegs (I think I can find the original chrome ones if you insist). I'll take $1400 shipped and paypal'ed to continental U.S. I'm happy to ship elsewhere, but it can be a pricey proposition, and I won't do the "gift" thing.
Edit: If it helps anyone, this one is about 7.75 pounds or so (as weighed by Wildwood when I got the guitar). It definitely feels like a lightweight, given the bigsby, etc.
Here's more pictures:
