I was a Led Zeppelin fan and always wanted a Ludwig 3 ply maple green sparkle Bonham kit from the early seventies identical to his famous recording kit that produced so many classic tunes. With a little luck, I got my wish. It sounds huge and is a complete blast to play. How about you?

Nice Clint. Really nice!

My grandfather left our family with a 1952-53 (no serial number) Goldtop Les Paul. Sorry no pictures. He paid $200. for it.

Soap bar pickups, tail piece, cracked finish, belt buckle rash on the back.

If I can get any photos I will post them. My uncle John won't let it out of the house. What a bummer.

He played in a band with Doogey Potter. (Fun name to say)

Should I change my handle to "Leprechaun"?

I have a few nice items, but I'd have to say my '76 Starcaster. Its the only guitar I ever bought brand new--$495! Check out the recent Starcaster eBay activity:

That kit is a beast, Clint. That kick calls down the thunder from the gods

"66" Rickenbacker 330-12 string. Got it when I was 16.

That has got to be the coolest machine head arrangement I've ever seen for a 12 string.. The headstock could pass for a 6 string instead of the boat oars I'm used to seeing on 12 strings..

[CCdrums]

Wow, really cool pics guys. Steve, that Odery kit is beautiful. I know first hand how that 14" floor tom sounds. I've NEVER heard a 14" sound that huge and powerful....awesome.

Andy, what a beauty!....and Jeff, thanks for your help in getting some of the drums I needed. It worked out great!

[shell_shooter]

This is my Breedlove that just sounds incredible.It would break my heart if anything ever happened to it

Yeah, George Harrison said that he liked them because you don't get mixed up even if you're drunk and I agree.

This is the guitar and this is the guy that made me fall in love with rock and roll.

I bought these as investments a few years ago. They don't leave the house! They are made in Austria by Andreas Pichler. The Andreas Shark guitars and basses were only made for about 2 years. They were only made with top notch electronics and aluminum fretboards (and alum headstock on the guitars) for about 1 year.

The guitars had a few options like Schaller or EMG p/ups, odd pickguards, hardtail or tremolo, etc.. The basses didn't really have any options. They are 36" scale and have Alembic AXY soapbars and Alembic pre. Both guitars and basses have amazingly comfortable contoured bodies. The basses had 2 models. The natural to grayish/blackish/purpleish finish is called the Basking Shark. The red to black finish was called the Bull Shark. This guitar is the Gray Shark. They also have the guitar in a natural burnt western larch body called the Fierce Shark:




These are my materialistic prized possessions! I have some nice instruments, but none quite like these.

Thanks John, quite the exzageration but I needed the lift.

Mr. John Homderski Jr was the Rock guy who taught me how to dress. Notice in the photo below that I'm only wearing sunglasses while everyone else is "Well Dressed". Well John changed all that.

Wow, I've never seen anything like those. They are really cool looking. How do they sound?

[MOONDOGGY]

The bass sounds fairly unique because of the Alembic p/ups and aluminum fingerboard. It's bright and punchy all the way down to the low B!

The guitars are pretty normal sounding to me. The aluminum fingerboard and headstock don't give them a completely unique tone like you'd think, at least to my ears! They're pretty darn versatile though. You can get a strat sound out of them then get to a fatter shred tone. You can even coax a Tele-ish tone out of them.

That stick shift on the right side of the console there... Yeah, that's what makes it all come together in the mix.

[Naga]

I'll put pics up some time, but I've got a couple guitars that are at least mentionable

Circa 1960's-1970's Silvertone. This is a decent guitar that looks like someone tried to cover up some old mistakes... The body was painted over with a paint not designed for guitars, and it's missing a knob. They should've filed the nut down (even though it's a metal nut!). Otherwise though, it's still an interesting piece

BC Rich Acryllic Warlock. This is my baby... A BIIIG baby! Ever pick up an acryllic instrument? It weighs what your typical would, plus half over again! It actually fatigues my shoulder if I play it too long! I've kept it in decent condition though. Fingerprints and other precip types show up easy

Sounds like Uncle John has a real nice prized possession.

I had a late '60s reissue of that goldtop in the mid 70s and traded it even up for a {gulp} brown strat. Ah, to be young & stupid.

Who is your Grandfather? He may have known mine if he played with Dugie Potter.
