Location: Boise, Idaho | You are sorely lacking in Ovation solidbodies, though, Tony. (I know you were explaining why when your cellphone battery went dead the other evening.)
I checked prices on the Univox HR2 like I used to have recently and decided that selling it for $125 in 1977 to get my first Ovation probably wasn't a bad deal. You guys with these T-heads are giving me the itch for an Ovation semihollow, though. |

| Had not heard of a T- Head?? The others I know, What is this Tony?
Also if your interested in cornering the Solid Body market, I have just about the coolest Deacon ever, and I am considering selling. I'd love to see it stay within this group.

Location: SoCal | This is the Thunderhead that I have...anyone know who this is?
The Hurricane is similar to the Wurlitzer in style but will probably get more play.
The Wurlitzer has the Italian flare, even has a selection for "Wild". 1966 made by Welson of Italy. Two months after I bought it, a guitar magazine ran a cover article concerning the collectibility. Welson and a couple of other Italian companies made guitars for Wurlitzer, Martin, and Gibson. Had been in a pawn shop in Tucscn, had Moze Guitars do a setup and check out the wiring.
12-strings that I now have:
Adamas I, Adamas II, 6759 CL (used on Elton John 2000 tour), 1659 CL, two 1658 CL's, small soundhole shiny bowl, Hamer Newport 12, Hurricane, Deacon 12 (with Hamer Newport electronics), Preacher Deluxe 12, and the Wurlitzer...but only two hands. |

Location: NJ | Yeah, that may BE, but in order t'get that authentic, 70's "Jersey GarageBand Sound", there's certain criteria that needs t'be met:
First of all, the fuses in the amps need to be augmented with at least TWO "wraps" of foil-based chewing gum wrapper (Wrigley's adds a bit "warmer" tone).
"Ground" is for p@ssies.
NO respectable JerseyBasement had 3-prong outlets.
A good pair o'ViseGrips, 5 or 6 strong-arm "wiggles", and that third prong'll pop out of that plug like a Brit cuspid.
Christmas tree lights make the absolute BEST extension cords (and they're ALREADY "two-prongers"). The ability of now having a "light show" is an added bonus.
Those screw-in adaptors that allow you to plug two (if you're a "wimp") amplifiers into a single ceramic pull-chain ceiling light fixture are GOLD!
(especially in high water-table areas).
60-cycle "hum" CAN be minimized by wrapping the FIRST extension cord (in the chain) around the mic stand 6 or 7 times (CCW).
Mould is an insulator.
Anybody stupid enough t'sit in yer OldMan's painted metal patio chair while wearing a "live" guitar has NO place in "the band" (but DO make for funny-ass "auditions" . . .) |

3-4 of those were absolutely SOP. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Did you know that a .22 bullet works well in the standard fuse holder? There was a great Darwin award story about a guy using one in his car. Supposedly got hot enough to shoot himself.
Tuppy's adaptor actually needs the standard modification of filing the larger prong down to the size of the smaller one. Don't do it on a grinder, though or you melt the insides of the adapter. Cliff's method of pulling off the ground plug is much more universally excepted. |
