cool pickguard!

Classic and disturbing at the same time.

You're a tough nut to bust, Lou. Agreed about the wardrobe though. Horrendous stuff. Makes it easier to picture her naked though. Not to tough, actually, but I guess she never did for me. Now Carmen Electra, she does it for me.... Navarro connection...

I gotta disagree. She still sucks as a host. And her clothes aren't any better. WTF was that she was weraring? She's been off my hot list for a while. YMMV.

Out of all the 'singers', I counted 3 or 4 with some potential. We'll see what else thay sing. As soon as they introduced the ROxanne guy, I said "Oh, no" to my wife. Awful.

Score!

Yeah, but are you bringing your Hamers?

The only floyded guitar I have left is a diablo. All the BS about the tone being thin and bright is unfounded. There are lots of other factors that make up the tone of the guitar. Don't blame the bridge. A guitar with a floyd of kahler or whatever can sound as great as one without.

Another fan of the Dunlop 65 stuff. I have a kit that has fingerboard cleaner, fingerboard oil, cleaner, polish and string glide. Stuff works great.

Jesus. Uhhhhhgh!

Classics. I wish I still had that pic of Spidey on the crapper I found after Joe's waterloo.

True, although I believe all the Californians have 3-piece maple necks. -Austin Correctomundo... that's why I did not mention the calis.

If I recall, the earliest hamers had a one piece neck and then they went to the three piece. Most of the bolt-ons like the daytona, t-51 and diablo had 1 piece necks.

Well, he's a lawyer... can they even play with any feeling? Do they have feelings?

I need to get rid of these, $50

I have a factory installed setup of a SD Hot Rails in the bridge and a pair of Vintage Rails in my Daytona. The Hot Rails is super loud and will do hard rock and metal sounds no problem, if that's what you are after. It still interacts well with the other pickups and will quack when mixed with the middle pup. I like this pickup as it has a lot of mids, will crunch up nicely and breakup cleans if you push it. Edited to add some porn:

Reminds me of a time I was doing roadie duty along with some coworkers a few years back. GE Smith's band was playing at our annual convention and we were loading in. My friend was carrying GE's fender amp and placed it on top of someting else. Yep, it fell over and a tube came rolling out. GE calmly walked over and picked it up and didn't say a word. I probably would have flipped out, LOL.

These came out of a vintage S. I can't remember which models they are. Set of 3 in black... plenty of wire. $70 shipped. Paypal fine

Ouch! I got a deal... In 2003, it was $400 list to go to korina. (got a 2 piece body)

I've got a BBQ bucker in the Bridge and a Genuine Texas in the neck.

This is my Korina-backed/necked Standard Custom. In terms of weight, it is a bit lighter than some mahogany ones I've played. BUT you also can have lightweight mahogany. Soundwise it's got more prominent upper-mids and can cut thru very well. I've also got a ebony board on this one, but I don't think it factors into the tone much. I recently put a set of Rio Grande pups in this one and it really opened it up sonically. I don't think there are any other Korina Standard Customs out there that I'm aware of to give you another person's opinion. SOme folks have played this one.

I've owned a few washburns and lusted after a lot more in a local store. I had a G10V with a wonderbar. Not a bad trem. A bit limiting, but a clever design.

WONDER BAR! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I have an Artist 3203. Same head box and chassis, only with a pair of EL34s in the power section. PI tube only in the preamp, so I guess I do have some partially solid state gear, but you'd never know this thing wasn't all tube just by listening to it. I used to have one of those 3203 heads also. It was my first 1/2 stack.

Makes no difference. The only thing that matters is you like what you're hearing.
