2: 2003 Amer. Dlx Fat Strat...(DiMarzio Super Distortion)
3: 60's Reverse Special (DiMarzio Area 58 and DiMarzio V.V. 54 Pro)
4: 1979 Antigua Strat (Dimarzio Area 58, DiMarzio V.V. Solo Pro)
5: 2004 Hwy 1 HSS (Gibson 498T, Fender Vintage Noiseless)
6: 2007 Hwy 1 HSS (Gibson 490T, Fender Vintage Noiseless)
7: 2007 Hwy 1 HSS (Dimarzio Area 58, DiMarzio Virtual P.A.F.)
8: 2005 Hwy 1 HSS (Gibson '57 Classic Plus, Fender Vintage Noiseless)

Yeah....I kinda got a "thing" for the HWY 1 HSS's....they're GREAT guitars and now with the pickup changes....they're BETTER!!!

No knock against Fender....I just need NOISELESS performance and ballsier humbuckers!!

If you're giving them away--I'll take the Antigua with a rosewood neck.

Yes indeed I am ! I LOVE the fat headstocks, necks, and frets !
I am also a BIG fan of the HSS format !! Being in a cover band, it gives me a fantastic array of tones !!

Nice little chorus line you've got there.

By the way, what the hell is up with that fireplace. I know you didn't build it just to display your guitars in front of it, hehehe.

That sir...is the focal point of my living room ! (I was excercising some artistic license there....it's better than a friggin' plain wall !!) It is an ACTUAL wood burning fireplace ! It's a nice Norman Rockwell touch for those cold , crappy nights when you just want to rent a movie and hang in !
(Increases the hell out of the resale value of the house too!!!)
