This thread went into open inquisition. Anyone put on the funeral pile yet. Lit?

Cool guitar. Great score!

Once I had a failed trade with a fellow here. I had been asking on the board for someone willing to step in for an Ebay item sold within conus only. The auction went well for me and the volunteer said he'd won the auction. He'd never sent it over the pond. After a few PMs I had given up. Eventually, I had no financial damage to cope with. Other than that I had some very nice and trustful deals and contacts made here that easily out-pace the broken one.

Kick really kicks (ass). It's got the Devil Inside.

Thought about Queen? Lot's of the Hot Space album would do it as well as the well known from The Game. Certainly guitar oriented. Robby Williams Marla Glen Toto INXS

Congratulations! You will remember the presentation for your lifetime. The guitar is awesome. I really like the side view.

For the first time I have chance to read through the For Sale threads.

Bridges are philosophy. Sustain block bridges certainly stand out of the crowd, especially for Hamer enthusiasts as we are. I'm kicking of with a black Talladega. Do us some porn.

This one is making it into the car at next for sure. I'm selecting this pair once in a while. My neighbor is bulletproof and already missing it.

Slade yeah!

VHII is a love of mine too. It's my hidden gem when it comes to select from the early records. Just adding that the 2nd from Judas Priest is another 2nd gem for me. The same with Queen II. I'm just thinking if there are more 2nd gems?

Yeah, it's really cool. At my surprise, I loved the A side of the record at teen age and like the B side more today.

Might be nice idea for polishing for the next Ebay sale.

Great! The pulled VH went to my 8 year old straight due to Tattoo! and frostiness. We talk '1' and '11' for the song positions instead of the titles. Iron Maiden reminds me that I miss the first 2 albums on CD, IM and Killers. The 2 I love the most.

That looks like a chimney cleaning job however.

Hooked up to the full length Double CD in the car. That's even better. Oughta look out for the DVD though. ... forgot to mention that I pulled VH for CT.

Sometime at the end of last year I had decided for myself to dig my good old CDs for a while rather than buying new ones - except the new VH. So, I started to select on a 4-set basis for the car and swapped a couple of sets since. Currently, I have the new VH (our little son loves Tattoo and Stay Frosty), The Sweet - Sweet FA, Whitesnake - 1987, and Cheap Trick - At Budokan going. Especially the latter I can't date back when I have heard it last. It must be a decade. Listening to Budokan, it turned out to me that I have lost all teenage emotion on it and listen to it from a distance. Meaning, I started to rediscover the record from zero. Actually, I must say I did not remember it was that good. I really like that teenage Japanese crying in between. There is a good reason Budokan made a career for Cheap Trick.

However, I don't have a picture about his musical achievements. Somehow the music didn't reach me. I listened to the attached videos above and like it. RIP.

Actually, what differs a Standard from a Blitz in case of opac painted Standards like the Checkerboard not requiring veneer? Both are made from pure mahogany, there are Blitz' that have Standard headstocks,... Sure in the first 10 years of Hamer production the Standards were supposed to be 4-digits. But today?

http://hamerworkshop.wordpress.com/2012/02/27/cant-stop-the-music/ For safety reasons, Rick seems to have ordered another checkerboard Standard. It looks like he's not planning to retire in the near future though.

I send a prayer to any fashion designer in the world setting women into shape.

So lets talk details. Does the AxeFX create this queecky overtones in a distorted sound a highly driven tube is able to create on bendings? I hope you know what specific kind of tone I mean.

Aren't Firebird pups mini humbuckers? I thought they were.

SometimesI wonder what people get out of their tube amps with a few pedals. When it comes to my own playing, I'm a bit of a purist. A tube amp and possibly a treble booster do it for what I do. There is no need to extend the rack or digitize it for me. The digital apparatuses require programming to find the personal sound. That's an effort I don't want to invest as I'm sitting on a computer the whole day. It looks like that my personal playing is influenced as an opposite to my daily job. For freaking rock sounds I have a Rockman XPR connected to my HiFi stack that I rarely program. The XPR can be said to be an analog AxeFX. Finally, I'm an analog fan. The modelers surely offer quit some comfort as a stage rig as they are light weight, easy to install and movable.

This thread is turning into a Standard Appreciation Thread. I likey! It does not have the LP trem anymore.
