That guy does a really good job of impersonating Lennon. Great band as well. Hope you got some free tickets and enjoyed the show, cause I know I would have.

Personally, at this juncture, I'd take a long hard look at this one: I mean, a P90 in the neck matched with a Burstbucker Pro in the bridge with all those tuning options at the flick of a switch, really sounds hard to beat in the bang for the buck category. Course you'll probably have to...

You still the king of the hot deal Krash. Big Congrats Brian, that guitar fits you and your sound.

Pretty sure those are original Pickups. Hamer went through a period with uncovered pickups in that configuration with one zebra and one plain. That's a 96 so it was made in the old Chicago shop. I guess I like the double cut desgn as I have two old Chicago Hamers (an HB Special and a Mirage...

Most elegant. Superb and congrats.

Very tasty, the P/G is da bomb.:cool:

Not knowing the model or the condition of the guitar it's really hard to say. Washburn has a reputation for making some nice acoustics at a decent price. If it's in good condition, entry-levelish, I'd guess about a hundred.

Well sometimes I wish I had an old Silvertone Silouette back (Jag shortscale) as I just loved those DeArmond silverfoils, but alas, the controls got in my way and the G string didn't stay in tune to my satisfaction. After that I sometimes miss a Brawley LTD (top of line -great neck) and a...

Hmmm, I considered Rose but having had a positive experience with GFS in the past and an account with Paypal made it easier. Also most of the Youtube feedback I got was more favorable to GFS and more importantly I thought the GFS sounded much better in the video I linked. As I say though, no...

No offense but did you read the initial post? To reiterate I guess I was a little disappointed when the pickup finally arrived the polarity was opposite what I have in my Fender Strats and also the fact that the mounting holes on the pickup were not only not threaded but waaaay too small to fit...

Umm interesting. Never tried their buckers but was very tempted when the liverpool/Nashville stuff first came out. Truth is, I get everything I need out of my hummers as my set-necks are all USA made with good stockers. I do think that Epiphone and Fender Mexico does skimp a little on the...

Interesting comparison here and part of the reason I went with GFS over Rose. I had bought a full set of vintage vibes several years ago and thought they were remarkable but I think the GFS are definitely in the same ballpark - articulate and warm. And I agree that GFS does sell some cool...

And now I have another one ordered en route to my house. The bad: can't believe they use UPS to deliver a pickup, talk about snail mail; got a reverse wound middle to go with a "Vintage Vibe" neck and the pickup is not reverse polarity (not according to my two Fenders); the screws sent will not...

I'm one that doesn't believe that consistency (as it pertains to guitar production) can really exist in an automated environment, i.e., factory. I think maybe Hamer came the closest but they had a pretty small operation. In the old days, lutes and violins were works of art (not cosmetically...

I just use what works and I never felt like I had to impress anyone but myself with the gear I use. So I guess some would say I'm a little schizo with my gear choices. I have a pedalboard full of mostly BBE and old digitech pedals, but I also have a $400 Damage Control Timeline delay - they...
