Who invented the Ectasy?

[Disturber]

That Special K & Ectasy thread got me thinking

I had seen that guitar before.

So I dived deep down into the cyberspace known

as my harddrive and found this one. VOILA!

I knew I had seen a pic of this guitar before.

Save date on the file is February 2005.

Posted on this board.

A photoshop pic of the "Ectasy".

We'll I don't think whoever did this ever

figured it would go into production

Who played with photoshop to create this guitar?

You should get a kickback on every sold item from Hamer

as you actually was the first one to design it.

I bet Wilcutt, or Hamer, got the idea from here.

The Ectasy:

The photoshop prototype:

My money is on Greg.

[Disturber]

No, it was not Greg.

(please don't start that one again.

it's getting a bit tiersome. and I

would really like to know who

did the pic).

[BCR Greg]

I didn't do the photoshop, but several of you will remember me talking about mahogany single cut Juniors about the time that we did the BCR Juniors.

Not that it matters.

When Hamer told me how much they would cost, I dropped the idea.

I don't recall who did the photoshop, but that's an idea that has been kicking around here for years. Greg has tried several times since his two runs of mahogany double cuts came out to get a single cut Junior done and Hamer wasn't interested in doing the design. I was present at the shop when he was on the phone with the factory about trying to get these made.

Yes, I remember that there has been

talk about doing singlecut JR's long prior to

when this photoshoped pic was originaly

posted.

I'm just curious if it was

the pic that made them change

their minds, and decided to do

a Korina version.

[BCR Greg]

What made the decision was that Willcutt's decided to do them in Korina, not Hamer deciding. I could have, if I wanted to do 10 of them. We talked at great length about it, but I felt that the price for what I was asking for(a mahogany Junior, Brazilian Board, Tonepros Studs and Pigtail tailpiece, Jason Lollar or Voodoo P-90) was way above realistic. Collectors are not my customer base, players are.

The success of Hamer's new marketing plan is anyone's guess.

Yes, they sure are expensive.

Not for me.

I think the "original"

BCR JR's & Korina JR's are

cooler. Always prefered double cuts myself.

It's a Monaco. Plain as day.

Was it Mike_c who did the picture? How much are the asking for these?

[Mike_C]

Much as I would like to take credit for the photoshop version it wasn't me. A single cut junior has been discussed by LOTS of people. I'm glad they finally got made I wish I was in a position to get one but unfortunately I'm not. There are very cool. At least I'm glad that I have a double cut Korina junior. Takes a bit of the gas edge off.

Too Bad we can't all agree it's a cool pair of guitars and move on with other things.

I invented Ectascy. It was 1972. Her name was Wendy Marshall. She had a Mustang convertible. In the backseat, with extreme predjudice!

Thank you. Thank you veddy much.
