Whew hew!! I knew that would fire up the debates!!!!
The GT model with it`s "SG" neck is amazing and the slickest application for a hybrid blend I`ve ever laid my hands on. Damn I wished I knew someone that was selling one of those!!!!! |

Actually, Glenn's first name being misspelled isn't new.

Sorry, there's a misspelling (A7)!!

Although it still doesn't make up for the fact that the seller is lying (or maybe naive...you never know) about which Phantom model Glenn was using in the Freewheel Burning video.

Four PickUps!! One single coil, one Triblebucker, but you can split the

You can find a lot of pics in my albums on my MySpace page.

One Hamer "Slammer" Humbucker n one volume knob!!
His Hamer Phantom GT is a special A6 version. With a "SG" neck,
two EMG 81 active humbuckers, one volume knog n one 2-way

There are three versions of the A7.

Good evening, guitarists of the Noticeboard. I seek your advice on something. It may be a bit trivial, but bear with me.
My guitar is a Squier, and I love it to death and play it as much as I can. I've been meaning to put on a guitar strap, since my older nephew (the previous owner of said guitar) took it off. I went to the music shop nearby a few days ago and bought the screws and bolts and everything. The problem is that the holes where the screws are supposed to go are too big. It kinda looks as though he pulled them off, or that something's missing. What should I do? Should I partially cover those holes with glue or something and then put in the screws, or what? Any advice is appreciated. |
