Toadroller Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 ...And the Pirate is safely in port up here in Maine. Heavy sumbitch! That case is a thing. 6 Quote
BruceM Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 Glad to hear the guitar made it safely! I delayed shipping it by two weeks so I could play it at practice a couple more times. There's definitely magic in that one. Here's a few more case pics I took a few weeks back. 2 Quote
BTMN Posted April 26, 2018 Author Posted April 26, 2018 OK, almost 14 days in Maine and no report. Quote
Toadroller Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Oh, He’s just hanging out with his younger cousin. The *ahem* acoustic voice is really sharp, upper register. Plug him in and that volume knob will keep driving your pre-amp tubes harder, and harder, and harder. An ugly duckling to be sure, but that's the point. A rocker.

Understand that this guitar may have seen better daze but is still worth strumming and even RAWKIN' Out on. It IS NOT a Sweetheart of a guitar in anyway. You may play it for a day or a week but a couple months might be pushing it. Trust? Sure, I got nothing to lose. I already know people suck sometimes and being burned by a person close would be to classic of a storyline. I have faith that those that get the guitar will pass the guitar on and will continue to do so. HOWEVER, should you decide you just GOT TO HAVE IT, well that can be arranged also and the tour will end as such. ^^^^^ From Gene waaaaay back at the beginning. It's got a Hamer headstock and a whole lotta *character* to it. Let's call them second cousins. Twice removed. Quote
BTMN Posted April 26, 2018 Author Posted April 26, 2018 Bil reshaped the Special body. Added a bevel to the top and a bellycut to the back IIRC. 2 Quote
Biz Prof Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Well, I can assure you gents that when Pirate Special #5 makes it down to central NC, it shall be gigged. Photo and/or vid-jah evidence will follow. 3 1 Quote

It was after the show, so no time for a real test. He thought it could be set up as a cool slide guitar and was fascinated with the case as well 3 Quote
tomteriffic Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 I had my way with Bil's special, but I sure would like to see that Beatles one come back to me. 2 Quote

That can be arranged, if you'd like. Same price as when you sent it to me, whatever that was. It was reasonable, as I recall. 4 Quote

Today @tomteriffic's Beatles Special begins its journey home, but it's taking the long way round, stopping in with @tommy p for a while to sit in on some gigs with his Cheap Trick tribute band. Best of all worlds- TommyP wanted some time with it and we were able to work it out pretty easily.* I hope we get some gig shots! *We also discovered you could have multiple people in a PM message, making communications a snap. Tip-o-the-hat to our admins! Donate today! 4 Quote
Biz Prof Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 Status check on Wyldbil Pirate Special #5. Any updates? Quote

Tip-o-the-hat to our admins! Donate today! I took the Beatles Special to my CT tribute band practice and it went over great! I had not told them I was getting it. Sounded good, plays great. It will be used in a show for the first time on Thanksgiving Eve. Hopefully I'll get some good pics and/or video from that one. We're working on our promo pack and I want that included. 5 Quote
