I like that one a lot. Didn’t they have a matching Standard, too?

My Dad worked for Kaman's Industrial division when they bought the company he worked for. It was about 2004-ish when he became a Kaman employee. One of the highlights was access to discounts on the Musical Industry side. Hamer, Tak, Ovation, Genz-Benz, Gretsch Drums (Distributor), Sabian Cymbals (Distributor). They also had a large gear distributor, KMC Music. Discounts on these things weren't as steep. I was in my mid-20s, saddled with school debt. I couldn't take advantage more than once. Ended up with a Studio Custom in '59 burst, though I ordered Aztec Gold. My order got lost in the shuffle somewhere. The 6-month wait passed, my dad queried the order. It was never placed. They were like...we found this one; it's all we've got, unless you want to wait another 6 months. It was a cancelled dealer order. Sometimes I wish I had ordered a Standard Custom or Newport, but in the end, I likely would've ended up with this same Studio Custom, lol. I didn't want to wait another 6 months. I was playing this shitty Washburn Idol. I wanted a REAL guitar now!! Anyway...found some old emails of the pricing quotes I sought back then. All discounts are 40% off list (dealer pricing?) and another 25% off that. These are in Canadian dollars. Average exchange rate of USD to CAD in 2005 - $1.21 (swung from 1.25 to 1.18 through the year).

I would not.

Couch straps are cool and that is no exception. Nice!

I never got Jackson pedals. I’ve tried several. Sound cool, but there’s always a slight delay between when you press the switch and when the effect kicks in. I’m probably the idiot who doesn’t understand they’re supposed to be that way, but I don’t like it. Nothing else I’ve ever used operates that way.

I hope there’s a plan for survival, but their online side needs a ton of work if that’s what they hope to retain. Sweetwater is just going to continue crushing them otherwise.

You can send it USD with PayPal for certain. I’ve done it and will do it again now . It’ll convert the CAD equivalent for you.

Trans Chartreuse Sparkle Metalflake should be fine

Love Bad Astronaut. Big Joey Cape (Lagwagon) fan.

I could go either way on that. Really like High Flying Birds and would be happy for him to continue on that path. Don't Believe the Truth and Dig Out Your Soul were not great Oasis efforts. Beady Eyes seems like an extension of those, but much worse. It's just garbage (IMHO). I was at the show that started the downward spiral leading to the collapse of Oasis. Virgin Music Fest Toronto, when the drunk idiot hid under the stage all afternoon, woke up when Oasis came on and assaulted Noel. He rushed from behind and pushed him over onto a monitor, breaking ribs and such. That was quite the scene. Cancelled shows, bickering brothers, etc. etc. It's Over! Currently rocking to; Joel Plasket - Park Avenue Sobriety Test Belle & Sebastian - Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance Mounties - Thrash Rock Legacy Ozma - Boomtown Against Me! - Transgender Dysphoria Blues The New Pornographers - Brill Bruisers Lagwagon - Hang Limblifter - Pacific Milk

The earliers ones had the rosewood shim to raise the height up to the fretboard. The creation of the Sustainblock was final remedy.

Says you, it all depends on your location and how you store them. Yes indeed. Just knowing where he is, there's plenty of humidity. Similar to my locale In terms of seasonal averages.If your house is dry from a tight seal and forced air, that may change things, but generally, Halifax will have you covered. Likely won't hurt to put one in the case and store it there, but like I said, I don't, except for hollowbodies and acoustics. Those sleep in their cases too.

I don't humidify any solidbody guitar. Your vector should be fine.

I like looking at them. For my own, I prefer a slight flame, if any. Nothing too fancy.

I really don't "get" the monkey grip thing. Oh well. I can't shred without a mandoline grater anyway, so I guess it's moot.

Nice score! It's a beauty. I will recommend Sheptone for a pickup. It's what I'd put in it, being quite happy with each one I've come across and use myself. I'd personally keep the bridge for full intonation abilities, or something similar. Don't personally have any experience with that one, but intonation ability is key. In my opinion, of course.

Oh, but it does!

I'm aiming for two guitars this year. No more selling. Won't win the contest, but I'll enjoy the guitars.

Guitar show, eh? Sometime I'd like to make it out to one.

I've been watching this one. A lot of offers going in.

He was one of the acts at my first concert too. Anyone else there? Molson Park in Barrie - "Seven Bands for Seven Bucks". I only remember a couple of others, Gowan, Haywire, David Wilcox. Jeff Healey ended up quitting in the middle of the show after warning "if someone throws another beer bottle at the blind guy, I'm outta here." Some dick did (again!) And off he went. About the only thing I recall as a 10 year old. R.I.P.

Don't get the strap button moves. Those are just weird.
