That is ultra-badass.

This is brilliant! Agreed. Who do we call?

Paul Simon.

It's good timing on the bump, though. I have it on good authority that Hamer will be introducing a 45 fret shredder with LEDs at the next Fender Open House. It will have a Floyd both at the bridge and at the nut. Also, the entire body will be covered with an OLED display so you can download moving images for display while playing (flames, porn, etc). Actually, scratch that OLED display - I'm going to go patent that right away.

Unlike most of you lesser forum members, I am a real tone connoisseur. I have three tone, no volume.

I'm still irritated that UPS lost my Studio Custom. They paid up after, oh, three months. I feel for ya.

I never know exactly what to say, but best wishes in getting through it all.

Though I haven't played as many Tele styles as the rest of you, I did check out the Vintage Hot Rod and liked it a lot. I never thought I'd like Teles until I borrowed my friend's '62 earlier this year. I've looked all over now to find one as good as his (to no avail). So, I think that maybe a Tele is the best Tele, depending, maybe. His certainly has the magic, but I don't have vintage Tele money.

Egad! That IS a looker. Beautiful.

Merry Christmas, etc, everyone.

Madness reigns in The Hall of the Mountain King!

You've seen it already recently, but if you want more, just click my signature listing. I didn't think I cared for the tobacco burst finish, but after spending some time with this thing, it's the best electric I've had, and I now think it's beautiful. I have totally lost my guitar GAS, so amp GAS it is....

You don't think he'd play a Robin?

That's not porn! That's like a 5 second teaser clip.

My hero.

Brilliant!

Oh, my!

There has to be a pre-Meshuggah and post-Meshuggah era.

Happy birthday! Damn your strong currency! Black DuoTone?! Redwood?! Beer?!

You are partially right, but the real answer is a result of the dedication to excellence of this company and, interestingly enough, a bit of a history lesson. I got this information from an inside source high up in the design salon. One day when Glen Danzig was doing his final checkout of one of the guitars coming off the line, he was strumming it acoustically, as he always does - it's part of his 14-step program to decide which pickups to put in which guitar (a policy he's had there since 1947 when he founded the company). He noticed a couple of interesting aural tidbits. First there was a subtle but apparent wolf tone; second, a bit of muddy crosstalk at a frequency range equally above and below's the guitar's tonality pattern.* To make a long story short, by delicately removing two sections of each crown inlay, the guitar blossomed into a boutique wunderkind. This signaled the beginning of the end for the crowns... Now that you understand the real reasoning behind this decision, the death of Boomerangs should be easily deduced. * ©2007, FMIC.

I won't argue the roundness of the dots. However, the crowns, their taper pointing toward the body, serve to finely focus the tonality pattern®. This effectively channels more mojo into the pickups.

It's much more fun to assign blame. Who needs facts? I blame Fender. I bet all those crown inlay offerings I have so far all just shot up in price.

I was sort of hoping a victory inlay SC would pop up on my WTB thread. Maybe I should switch to crowns. Pre-Fender, indeed.

I was thinking about this thread today and got a chuckle. Upon rereading I found it even more humorous than I remembered.

Heard this on the radio while stuck in traffic today. They sound pretty good live, too...
