Really like mine. Chime and kerrang!

I can never see parting with my two custom-order Studio Customs. They will both be inherited.

No wonder he blew this joint. No one can spell his name write. Or maybe that's an underlying psychosis; there are too many "e"s in his life.

Well, I just feel terrible. No, wait, I don't.

Jack Zucker? That was my guess as well -Austin I'll never tell. Even if you try to whip it out of me with a stack of wet pubs.

I suppose I could be. Weight? Pics? Price? are his favorite lines.

When I said bowing, I meant very slight. Sometimes it's hard to see; it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the guitar. I like my action very low, and have to do some slight adjustment for about 1 in 4 that originally have action higher than I like. My vote is with MC; not your problem. Sounds more like buyers remorse and he's looking for an out.

Even if he didn't go to smaller strings, it might need a truss rod adjustment. If you had them high, that could hide a slight bowing that really becomes evident when lowering the action. WRT flat frets, the guitar had to have seen quite a bit of action to require fret replacement. Or does he mean fret dressing? If so, that's nowhere near 200. Don't know the terms of your sale; ebay, for sale verbiage, etc. Would have to know that to know where you really stand. Have I ever had a case like this? Not with guitars, but with a stompbox. The guy is -well- known over on TGP. He went apeshit over a $75 pedal that didn't work like he thought it should. Said his son had a pedal with the same problem. WTF he didn't ask me before is beyond me. Took it back; took shiipping both ways out of hide. Sucky thing is I had taken a publication of his in partial trade, which I ended up keeping and paying for. Kevin's blows it away!

+100 I pity those who think rock styles and lyrics should be limited to everyday happenings with simple song structures. They are missing so much.

George Harrison - Electronic Sound. An audio account of Georgie learning to use some new equipment.

My thoughts exactly. Now, that's got me confused. Gibson forcing Hamer to make Vectors only if the headstocks looked like Vees? I would think the obverse.

In their current methodology, it would be a custom order. Even if the neck joint was the same (bypassing stikes theory), it's not how they normally build a Vector and they would have to depart from what they normally do to put one together. Changing pickups is a "custom" order. Now whether they'll do it and how much it should cost is a whole different set of arguments that have periodically roared around this board. Basically, if you get what you want for the price you're willing to pay, go for it. If not, lobby or get it somewhere else.

Wow, it really does glow in the dark!

Heard Rich Robinsons short-lived band, Hookah Brown. Months-long search eventually netted me a Harry Joyce amp. Heard Jimy Pages HTWWW playing on Heartbreaker, and a few amps later am still not there. Metal Panel era, baby.

I have noticed that too. Other than tricked-out Cali's, or now Chaps, the number of 80s Hamers for sale on ebay has gone down substantially since 2-3 years ago. Either people aren't selling them because they can't get what their (imho) real worth is, or owners don't need the cash now.

I can definitely see that as a date killer. Heck, it creeped out my college apartment-mates. Lyrics

Alright, I get to be the out-lier on the bell curve. Hawkwind - Obscure (in US) Heavy Space Rock band. Pour in pounding hard rock and swirling synths, with a dash of poetry, and set blender on puree. Was Lemmy's old band before he formed Motorhead. With constant lineup changes (Lemmy was their 3rd of 8 bassists), every release was a slightly different flavor. Have all Vinyl available, and 95+% of CDs. Why? I haven't a clue, other than I've always liked stuff that's a bit more out there.

You have some experience there? Gosh, I learn something new here every day.

Buzzkiller. So what? You don't have to have solos to be a good band. Actually there are a couple, you just gotta listen to the entire album. Live he does more. Admittedly, his definitely bluesy influenced, and not a shredder. As to not hearing BS and LZ, think they were being sarcastic. Read many other interviews that included them (and Beatles/Doors as well as a bunch of 80s stuff) amongst their listenings.

Western North Carolinians, Wolfmother will be in your area, at the Orange Peel in Asheville on Friday night. They're not sold out yet. They're a Blast!

Send it to me and will promise to let you know.

That and some hard rockers that I can't quite put my finger on. It's fitting that Wolfmother played Communication Breakdown at Zeps induction to the UK RnR Hall of Fame awards a few months back.

Saw Wolfmother at the 930 Club in DC last night. WAGA, AWESOME!!! RAWKING!! It was sold out, with the packed place really into it. The "new" 930 club is much, much bigger than any of it's previous locations. They're in the middle of a US tour, with a good number of shows sold out. See em if you can. These guys are the real deal. Love their album, and even better, a Great Live Band. Check them out: Wolfmother Website. You can hear their entire album if you click the play button at the top of the main menu screen. For those who haven't heard them, you might have seen the Rockstar II animated commercial. That's them (playing Woman, slightly rearranged).

Got trannys yet? I have an OT and PT I need to get away from me lest I succumb to the siren's lure. Alas, fear for me, for I have trannies galore. Tonesluts to be exact. The siren has sung, and I have been ensnared.

I've got parts for a Trainwreck Express and a Liverpool (EL-34 and EL-84) waiting my attention. Been so busy, have hardly had time to change pickups, much less complete an amp Seriously, look into doing an Express - not simple simon simple, but has now been researched a LOT and is relatively straightforward. Important: follow the physical layout; Ken F. was a genius. Go to Ampgarage
