“In the day” he alleged used Pyramid Golds. I don’t know what he could do about the problematic low E though.

The all-Alembic, with the superfilters. Wall of Sound show.

They were originally plastic, as delivered from Hagstrom, then they switched to mahogany. My oldest Starfire has plastic, as do my 2 Hagstrom Coronados, but the rest have mahogany.

That's a new headstock. RT chopped the sides and top off and turned it into an Alembic shape.

Yes.

I tried to order a set and the site kept cycling me around. Its fubar. As is the contact page.

Dig this! And I was there.

Dan sez $4550 list.

How much?

I need the statue of Bullwinkle J.Moose.

I think it's really noteworthy that Phil regularly poses with Big Brown, and on occasion still uses it. It shows where his loyalty is. Cool. I agree.
