Hamers deserve to have a higher value.

Wherever the discussion goes. The guitar looks magic!

Those who voted >$3500 were custom orders from the latest Jol era, right?

I'm glad I still discover new bands making hand made music though.

So spoke US producer Greg Kurstin. Albums are out, streaming is in. That's what I read in an article today on German Spiegel.de. Album sales were down 20% in the UK last year. People are streaming personal playlists or even consume ready made lists like Songza creates them. Music is becoming background noise. Even Duran Duran sue the Duran Duran Fanclub. It's all Pop these days! Where's the return of the guitar rock band? Life's in a misery.

Good point for sure. The other thing for electric, of course you need a decent guitar to start with, but lately I've been kind of thinking that the amp is the really crucial link. (Not that the guitar isn't important of course, but a good amp will make a lot of guitars sound nice, whereas a great guitar through a so-so amp, not as much) And that's not as right as one might expect at first. Queen showed us how to make iconic music on a small self made amp circuit with a 2'' speaker. Whatever equipment you have, there still needs music to be made.

Not me! Pretty much new stuff lately and for years. The other year I had cleaned up my pile of CDs by 50%. Decided on what I did not listen to for years and, therefore, would not likely listen to in the future. Pretty much premium stars went off the shelf. I wanted to burry it somewhere since it won't give any money for CDs anymore either. Finally, it moved to a drawer below the telly. Sometimes my wife pics one out.The shelf filled up since then with quite some new stuff and some old farts I still love publishing. Since being hooked up to Amazon Music I tend to try out some stuff online. Although, I'm missing the booklets with online buys. I like to read up who's joining in on a CD or specific title.

"I decided for a one piece build"! It doesn't allow to watch the 2nd video over here for music legal reasons. Shit! Here's a legal playing demo. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mXr0pmcE21Q

Congrats to one of the finest guitars ever made!

Pics usually don't justice. Trans black in real looks much better than usually expected. Those are hard to photograph.

Great collectio you have there! Is it worth to change pups on Slammer basses like with XT line guitars?

Vanden Plas - Chronicles of the Immortals today.

That's what women love to hear.

Go for green sunburst, so I could buy it from you later on. Dibs!

Roger Taylor's (Queen) new solo album in a long time just arrived. Very much his own stuff. I love his own music since his first album sometime around 1980.

4-digit style headstock had been announced in the beginning I think.

Just wondering, did Rick Nielsen react as quick as we did?

It's nice to see how things progress.

That's what I learned from my previous custom orders and let me to step out from the Ultimate run. There is nothing worth than a missed out option/feature on a custom order if you want it to become a keeper, very personal guitar.

I was in for the initial run according to Mike's mail. Stepped back for the same reason above as I wanted to be helpful for kick starting Mike's business. Let others take the Ultimates and now wait until my personal guitar options/ideas have been cleared in my mind. All the best to the Shishkov business!

That is fantastic work. Congrats to a new guitar!

The Ultimate! Is it a Standard style bidy shape? Just like the pics on the page?

IRig HD works pretty nice. It's almost noiseless.

Exactly!

Alles Gute mein lieber!
