Nice Flight suit, is that a nomex shirt?

Tony, what you need to do with this guitar now is toss those knobs and replace them with tele knobs. Then stick it in a south facing window to get a tan. I've done that to my Newport pro 6, after about 6 months it will look real nice. Enjoy it.

looks to me like Moody is wearing the official WESTPAC Dress "A" uniform...course, can't see if he has on shower shoes.

also missing the oxygen mask...always helped going to 100% the morning after a fun night.

WTF ??? I have a hard enough time explaining why Brown keeps coming to my door with Kaman boxes. Imagine me trying to smuggle a freaking flight simulator into the house !!!

Just tell her it's a standard piece of equipment meant to be used in all the backdrops of the guitar pictures.

Having successfuly hi-jacked this thread please allow me to return it to the sale of a really cool piece of handiwork.

Note the pattern that the strings are strung. The one I drooled over in a nearby Ted Brown was light, clean and called out to me.

And no, I did not play "Stairway" in the Music Store!

I have thought about restringing a couple of my 12's like a Rickenbacker. Do you think it would require recuting or replacing the nut?

Hamer Newport 12-string just arrived today...

First of all, George has my vote as the best packer - good thing because even the address label was ripped half way off!!

This is absolutely gorgeous...hand carved top, birds eye maple, sweet neck

driving me nuts as I have work I still have to do.

It can definately give you solid body GAS! I know you will enjoy this one Tony.

The work will eventually subside.
