I wonder how the Mules sound in the Elite?

I wonder how the Mules sound in the Elite?

They sound more like a vintage PAF than the Custom / Custom Custom set that comes stock in the Elite. Notes and chords remain clear all the way through the gain stages. I love them!

Never should have opened this thread. I have been relatively GAS free for a while, now I want a Monaco. /emoticons/default_rolleyes.gif

Brand new photo - from today - of my old workhorse from 2002 (also my first Hamer).

I guess it's time to introduce my newly tweaked Monaco:

vintage Guild Small Humbuckers, Gibson ABR-1 bridge, and custom made pickup rings,,, all from one of our resident genius', Murkat (you da' man)

I love this thing, the Guild Small Humbuckers(ala vintage Guild M75s and old Bluesbirds) can do everything when seated in a spruced up, Bigsby'd Monaco,,, freakin' awesome and unique.

BUMP!

Couple shots of the beast.... custom ordered through Elduave... The PesoPro:

Is that teal black? My favorite color....

 

[hectorp]

Holy Crap!

 

[bubs_42]

Ditto.

 

[Feynman]

If I was ever to grow a pair large enough to buy a custom order, I'd probably just end up copying the PesoPro - it's just all kinds of right.

Here's a great shot of Monaco. I've only been there once. Gotta go again one of these days:

And Monaco made some great albums. I wish they'd do another one. Under appreciated. Peter Hook is a unique bass player.

Great funny video too:

bump

 

[Feynman]

Let's do a bump a la Bubs.

I'd love to see some Monaco IIIs so that I can send you PMs asking if you want to sell them.

 

[Disturber]

Monaco x2

The one one the right is now mine, ha ha ha (Dr Evil laughter) ! A great guitar that I got from Feynman. Monaco IIIs, they are Hamers most unique creation ever.

Just awesome!!!



And here is my Monaco Super Pro. Gotta love it, it rocks. The long scale makes it cut through the mix, matches a LP very well in a twin guitar band. I don't have to turn the volume up, I just use either of my Monacos. They are not shy to be heard.
