I decided we need a pair of 18" tantos in 3/16" O1! :D They are just started.







18"+ with a 1.5" tall blade :cool:

Awesome!

Bet your ride cymbal sounds sweet with that, too. :D

Of course, that's why there is a pair. :D I go through snare heads like crazy, every hit in fact but the sustain... oh the sustain! can you hear it?

You can go away for a bite, and come back and it'll still be "AHHHHHHHH".
 
By the way, if you've ever been to LA, and not made the pilgrimage to Norman's, you wasted a trip.

I'd like to be alone with their inventory. :D
 
It's not a music store!

It's Norman's Rare Guitars!!! It's like...imagine being locked in the showroom of Blade Art, Arizona Customs or even BladeHQ, all wrapped together. But guitars. And all the famous ones you've fapped over since you were 15, like Albert Lee's Flying V, or Alligator, or a real Rickenbacher Frypan.

Like being in God's own chronologically-organized guitar museum. http://www.normansrareguitars.com/

That's where Nigel's collection was borrowed from, for the movie.

That's what I'm talking about!

One day I want a really good Les Paul Jr. from the 50's, they rock! A nice Telecaster is up there too...

I used to live in Arlington, TX. Every October, it's home to perhaps the biggest guitar show in the world. I used to go very year. One year, a dealer had a '59 Les Paul that looked like it'd been chained to the back of a pickp and dragged down a gravel road. Price was $150K. Ha!
 
I play a '61 Fender guitar into a '56 Vol/Tone pedal, into a '65 Princeton Tremelo...

But I'm open to non-Fender stuff :D

My grail is any one of the PAB-series made from old stock parts, or the Gretsch prototype recreations of Paul Bigsby's guitars. My friend Lee Jeffriess who got me started on steel guitar, plays a PAB-reissue 3X8 steel that sounds like exactly what it is- a gigantic block of alumag castings. He was a contemporary of Leo Fender, but as a tool and die maker, the opposite of Leo's minimalist engineering aesthetic.

I bet! The 59's seem to really get the bucks. Awesome tone! My friend just sold his Les Paul, he had a rare walnut/maple combo that went for a ton, he paid $400 for it!

That sounds like an awesome signal chain! An early 1960's Strat is a grail for me, I played a 1964 that was so perfect it wasn't funny... 5k back in '99.

I have to look up those re-issues. Cool! I used to spend all of my spare time hunting NOS parts for minor repairs and such.

I need a pic of the amp I was speaking of...


I'm drawn to 1950's and 60's cheapie guitars like Kay, Danelectro, Silvertone, Airline... I love the lines and cutting tone. Same with the amps. I appreciate anything that sounds good though.

My collection is worth very little but I bet I have more guitars than Nigel. :D
