They have the Schaller shape as well.

Pop/bro country has sounded AI generated for years.

I would absolutely buy that if you ever put it up for sale.

Junior-ish. Hamer content, the body was made from an Arlington Heights reject blank.

I bought one of these recently and like it a lot. https://www.cablefreeguitar.com/products/zero-gravity-strap-for-guitar-bass

And 1/2 of Cry Of Love there too.

Like Jeff I also have several of the Hercules and like them a lot. The 4 pictures are screwed into a header so I didn't have to worry about stud spacing. There will be three more going in below those before too long, will be painting a 1x4 poplar board from Lowe's to match the wall and screwing that into studs and screwing the hangers into the board, I don't trust drywall anchors.

Maybe because you said Brooks when you were quoting Bubs?

I have the Ceriatone JCM52 (2 channel JCM 800) that sounds very good and is very well built so if imagine their Plexis are good as well. The pricing on them is very good and if you can get one used like I did it's a really good deal. Cruise the classifieds on The Gear Page, something should turn up.

I'm probably not the best person to ask. I haven't bothered to set them up together and do an ABC comparison. I have band practice usually once a week, sometimes once every two weeks and those dudes are not going to put up with me going a Guitar Player Magazine gear shootout at practice. 😄 I will say that one of the guys is a jaded old soundman and has been really impressed with the Lion. The IR-J is the most versatile out of the group though.

Damn loud for 15 watts. I like the presence/resonance controls and the FX loop that the PS-2A adds to the equation. I also have a Lion and an IR-J and they also sound damn good.

Well definitely not the pre-obituary I wanted to read this morning... As a self admitted dim bulb that probably values humor over most other things I always admired and envied Jay's level of wit.

Kiz's is a mix of that Ice Blue and Coke Bottle Green flake.

Letterkenny seasons 1-9 soundtrack on Spotify. It's ALL over the place. Who knew I liked French-Canadian disco? https://youtu.be/EAZC2W2a3-s

I love Tom Jones and John Mulaney. Last year on a good for Valentine's my wife and I went to a location that was doing the full table service Valentine meal there was a table of college guys and one of them got up to use the jukebox. The first song he played was What's New Pussycat so my wife and I have each other a look wondering if he had done it, he didn't. I considered for a minute walking over to his table, saying "watch this", and then feeding the jukebox ten bucks full of Pussycat and then one It's Not Unusual before going back to Pussycat.

I recently picked up one of those ( at least like the one in the video above, the ebay listing is gone. ) on a lark. $275 shipped. Maybe I'm being naive but I can't imagine anyone being fooled by it. For the price though it's godawful and I have enough random parts kicking around to upgrade it a bit on the cheap. If I do wind up selling it I think I'll Dremel over the the USA stamp on the back of the headstock and engrave China though.

I'm gonna stink it up good, my alternate picking is atrocious.

You should get Ryan to wind you a set of pickups for it.

I was pissed when Ryan discontinued the 1 3/4" nut. Feels great for my sausage fingers. I love my "Kustom" Single. I have a few old unfinished employee guitars kickIng around I should do something with namely a blue quilt top Custom Hollow with a korina body/neck, routed for Filtertrons, and a string through the body bridge.

I recall seeing a small Hamer museum at the last open house (the flying v bass, etc), Was that all stuff Jol owned or is it all going to disappear?

If we ask real nice can we play it at a Wizard Sleeves show sometime?

The template and pin for the pin router are on the back of the guitar. No question his skills are peerless and most likely could go sans templates but I can't imagine anyone would would want to rout anything freehand.
