Biz Prof Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 Hey, Gene,: Any idea where the #5 Special is at the moment? Quote
BTMN Posted December 14, 2018 Author Posted December 14, 2018 Last home state of Hamer. I will look in to the status of what is and what will be. I know I would like to see Geoff Hartwell, maybe Mike Shishkov, Diablo, BCRGreg, either or both Matthes brothers, and perhaps a couple others as it works it's way South to you and me. Maybe a couple have a turn before it leaves the Northeast. 1 1 Quote
BTMN Posted March 1, 2019 Author Posted March 1, 2019 What a cool 5 year journey this has been. Still hanging at Stonge's house although he has not really posted about it. I had hoped he might organize some of you Northeastern guys to get together and play that lil guitar. Maybe WBPS #5 hits the big city next. 3 Quote
stonge Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 The Pirate Special has wandered to the big city for a bit after relaxing at casa de stonge. The Pirate Special dig get to hang with with Nightwolf's Daytona as shown below. 9 1 Quote
BTMN Posted April 25, 2019 Author Posted April 25, 2019 That's great! Nice looking Daytona indeed! 1 Quote
Biz Prof Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 Four months since the last update. Who is the custodian of Special #5 now? 2 Quote
LucSulla Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) I had this guitar back in the summer or fall of 2015. I feel like I've lived through three different lives since then, but this guitar is still on the same journey it was when I had it. It gets very meta when I think about it too much. -Checked, and it was winter 2015. In some ways if flew, and in some ways, it didn't. Edited August 24, 2019 by LucSulla 2 Quote

Somewhere in this thread way, way back there should be some posts and pics from when I did have a turn. I'd be more than happy to take another though, and it would give us an excuse to meet up and jam! 2 Quote
BTMN Posted August 25, 2019 Author Posted August 25, 2019 It is finishing up a visit to NYC with Geoff Hartwell and will be visiting Diablo175. It is headed South and Va. maybe a good place to go. BP I have not forgotten you. 1 Quote
tomteriffic Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) I was rifling through some old stuff and stumbled on this gig poster. I had no idea that it still existed. Most Esteemed Redhead was on her game. This was from July of 2014. Edited January 11, 2020 by tomteriffic 5 Quote
cmatthes Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Any idea where Wyldbil's Special is lately? Quote
BTMN Posted January 17, 2020 Author Posted January 17, 2020 Geoff Hartwell has it. Diablo is to be getting it Not sure what has held that up. Might need to get that happening. Geoff seems to be a busy man. Quote
BTMN Posted March 10, 2020 Author Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Much as I love all y'all it is time to bring this home. I anticipate Fed Ex delivery Thursday. Full update to follow. What a Crazy 6 year journey this guitar has been on. Edited March 10, 2020 by BTMN 8 1 Quote

gorch Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Journey finally comes to an end. What a trip! Thanks everyone for story telling and pics posting! 2 Quote
Steve Haynie Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I want to see how much swag ended up in the case. 2 1 Quote
scottcald Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I'll glance through this thread every once in a while to see what's up with it. Such a cool story, vibe and frankly testament to the coolness of this forum. 3 Quote

The photobucket change really fucked up my plans. Oh well, This is a great story. 2 Quote
Boomerang~Junkie Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 This is a much deserved and incredible journey with equally cool stories . Only the HFC family could pull this together and make it happen - but for SIX YEARS. Wow. With that said, there has to be a guitar magazine somewhere that would want to cover the awesomeness of this guitar's travels as a story. Just my opinion. 3 2 Quote
BTMN Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 Guitar arrived finally on Saturday after work related delays in getting it from FedEx. Still plays great. 11 1 Quote
Steve Haynie Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 So how much booty did the ol' Pirate take in from its journey? 1 Quote
BTMN Posted April 15, 2020 Author Posted April 15, 2020 I will try to get a few shots up sometime sooner than later. I have been kind of busy but will find the time soon I promise. 2 Quote
BTMN Posted December 8, 2020 Author Posted December 8, 2020 Along with today being the day John Lennon and Dime were killed it is the day Wyldbil left us. We miss him but through him we shared the experience of this guitar. What fun it was. Play one of yours for Bil today. 5 2 Quote
murkat Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Wow. What a journey. I need to see a pic of it. 1 Quote
