Damn, If they had only left the Kahler on it, I'd be all over it... hahahaha! 🤣

I'm a big fan of Plek-ing. I've had a bunch of guitars done over the years. I used to use Joe Glaser in Nashville as he was the first to get a Plek and has trained a lot of others on how to do it right. Unfortunately, they won't ship guitars anymore, so it has to be in-person pickup only. Every guitar I had Plek'd played better than it ever had before. They usually offer to replace and cut the nut correctly too, which I recommend to get the entire setup right. If you got the moolah, then, I would recommend it highly.

UPDATE! I still really dig my Bogner Ecstacy 25 amp. It's a killer sounding, smaller size head. Makes me smile every time I fire it up. I found out some more info on it. It was designed by Reinhold Bogner and he had it built by a guy named Baskim Zuta - Zuta Amplifiers in 2017 in Europe. Zuta is now selling the same amp under their name. And, they make a rack version too. https://zutagroup.com/collections/amplifiers/products/zuta-amp-x

When I got them, I put the Dual-sound in the neck and a Super Distortion in the Bridge. They were powerful for sure over the stock Gibson pickups I had in my Les Paul Custom. I couldn't find a push-pull pot (Maybe they didn't make them yet??) So, I totally rewired the guitar and put a full size switch in one or the Tone controls holes. Even crazier, later I installed a Phase 90 inside that guitar!! The entire circuit board and battery fit inside. I was a crazy kid back then.

Actor Richardo Montalban (Khan) was actually a guitar player!

Slightly off-topic, but funny as hell. I have to tell my Larry DiMarzio story... Back in the 70's Larry had an ad in the back of GuitarPlayer magazine selling his pickups. I was 15 years old and loved 'tinkering' around with guitars. This is back in the day when there really was NO replacement pickups. He only offered two, the 'Super Distortion' and 'Dual-Sound' (4-conductor wiring which was un-heard of) He was in Staten Island, NY, I lived nearby on Long Island. I asked my Dad to drive me to his place to pickup 2 that I had called him and ordered. Larry said sure, come on over! So, we run over there. He was literally working out of his parents basement and had this tiny little shop setup. It was a dingy little basement. He was so nice, we chatted about all kinds of guitars, amps and of course, all things Italian! Now, the funny part. So, my dad asks if he can use his bathroom before we head home. Larry says... "Oh, sure, over there, we just pee in the sink." OMG, He sure has come a long way. hahaha!

This makes me moist. Wow.

Here's a very obscure little amp. The Khan PAK - 2 channel head. I picked up one up used and it totally rocks. Some of the best hot-rodded Marshall sounds I have ever heard. Just screams and crunches like a mother. Definitely worth checking out. 18 watts, but definitely loud enough for gigging. EFX Loop. Tiny! My only gripe is... it has a fan and it's fairly loud (Has two fan speed settings, but low is still noticable) Wouldn't be an issue on stage, but for home recording, it could be, unless you put the mic'd cab away from the head a bit. But, OMG, what a tone this little beast has. Check out the videos, I think you'll be impressed too!

E is Erniecaster! 🤣

Tech 21 Trademark 60 amps are really nice and usually cheap. I had one at my bands practice space for a long time and it always sounded nice (Especially with a 2x12 cab) My other sleeper amp choice would be a Quilter OD200 head. Love that tiny amp. Kicks butt and very tube-like. Always had one in the car as a backup.

$8,000. It's like $3,000 if you connect the circles in the number - haha

Someone will be really happy. These are a blast and so much fun!

Just plain great amps. Someone will be very happy rockin' that baby!

For me, RS Guitarworks. I have 4 now and they are great guitars in every way. So nice to have Roy and Scott build them exactly like you want.

You should have messaged me with an offer. I'm always open to offers, especially to HFC peeps.

SOLD!

Price Drop... $775. Shipped/PP F&F

I don't any for sale at the moment, but check out an Electro Harmonix Holy Grail reverb. They pop up cheap on Reverb all the time. My all time favorite Reverb. Sounds just like a nice old Fender Spring reverb. And, I just picked up the PRS 'Mary Cries' compressor that is just killing me. LOVE IT. GLWTS.

It's got a really nice One-piece top!

Here's one you don't see every day. A factory "fretless" Hamer Special! No affiliation, just letting all you peeps know. It looks like its in the U.K. https://reverb.com/item/83087172-hamer-special-fretless-1981-natural?utm_content=feed_listings&utm_source=braze&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Feed-Email&utm_term=Feed Email

Cool. Thanks for the link. Now, I have a bunch of new music books to read!

Bogners have it going on!

Everything Don said above is true. Hubers are by far, the best guitars I have every played. Simple amazing in every way. (And, I've owed a few - teehee) I ordered my Redwood from Greg too. If this one comes up for a decent price, someone should grab it!

I have Porter pickups in another guitar too, I really dig them. The 'Hybrid Plus' are bigger/fatter, more like P90s, but still do a nice quack thing. I just can't bond with thin sounding guitars, that's why I went with the Porters to get more of a bigger Strat thing.

Thanks brother, that would have been too kind!
