murkat Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 what started as an idea, a phone conversation of, and then an overhaul, and then witnessing 5 going along it's merry way across the states, this is pretty cool. Bil would be giddy. Nice to see 5 on it's adventure out there, and kickin ass. 3 Quote

BTMN Posted July 29, 2014 Author Posted July 29, 2014 Here's a pic - sure hope it's finish only. Beginning to get some chipping at the headstock/neck joint. See previous page for more details. Quote
murkat Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 yup, that's a lil more than previous.Been well traveled, if it is weak, well, it's going to show.If it breaks, I'll fix it up. 4 Quote
veatch Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I've added some extra padding in the guitar case around the body to keep it from flopping around - it should keep things a little more stable in shipment. 3 Quote
marcnorth Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 It just arrived at my place, need to go mow my grass and I'll unpack it and check it out. 1 Quote
marcnorth Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) The wyldbil special is so cool, I plugged it in my Marshall combo and it really does "RAWK". The pickup sounds hot in this guitar and I love the neck, nice and thin just the way I like it. Looks like the swag pile is getting a little bigger too. It has a cool little glass piece added by someone. I started to use it but then I would have had to clean it or keep it and I'm more of a paper man so I left it alone. I managed to get a pic of the swag and of course the battery went dead and I had to go put it in the charger. I'll get some pics of the guitar tomorrow. The neck looks no different than the pic above, I'm sure the added foam Jef put in the case helped. I threw a couple of packs of HFC picks in with the swag. edit to add: I think the coolest thing is today is wyldbils Birthday! Edited July 31, 2014 by marcnorth 5 Quote
BTMN Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 HBD Wyldbil. Rawkin' On in spirit for sure. That guy really seemed Free. 2 Quote
Hamer Dave Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Brittany can belt it! Great job.Yes, I've been blessed with being able to play with incredible musicians. Heck, another former singer of mine just got mentioned as the new singer of KANSAS, to take on the spot of the departing Steve Walsh. Ronnie Platt's first gig with KANSAS will be 9/12/2014 in Oklahoma I believe. How cool is that?http://abcnewsradioonline.com/music-news/2014/7/16/kansas-welcomes-ronnie-platt-as-its-new-lead-singer.html Edited July 31, 2014 by Hamer Dave 1 Quote

marcnorth Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 This last pic is me hanging with wyldbil #5 in the back yard. I'll fiddle with it tonight and pack it back up so it can make it's trip to Columbus on Monday. I put 2 packs of HFC picks in with the swag so feel free to take one if you want one. This is a cool guitar and I was happy to get my hands on it for a little while to get some of the wyldbil mojo. 6 Quote

paults Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 This weekend, we'll do our best to show the guitar the kind of '80s wretched excess that would make a pirate happy 4 Quote

tomteriffic Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Paul's band will most assuredly rawk it up. Those guys really bring it. 2 Quote
paults Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) I just had an idea: Any Northern Ohio/Southern Michigan HFCers in line for the guitar? Or, just come to get a picture with it We are playing the Maumee Summer Fair (a Toledo suburb) on 08/14, It is a fun gig - it looks like this: BUT - If someone else wants it for that weekend, that's OK, too, I can send it Edited August 8, 2014 by paults Quote
BTMN Posted August 8, 2014 Author Posted August 8, 2014 That sounds like something you should do with that guitar.We can send it to someone in the Chicago area after that for McChris and The Rub on the 24th then. 1 Quote
