2xEL34 50 watt Lynx, yet to break it in. The Standard 60's honeyburst color isn't my first choice but this guitar was featured in two Greg Koch videos, so i got hear it first, with ferocity (lol). I was just vacuuming some dust off it and a silver tone knob insert got sucked out - factory was probaby short on glue that day  :-\ . I put some elmers in and refixed it, et voĆ­la. It has 9's on it. I used to play 11's. Man, I have some (tons) woodshedding ahead of me. ps the tuners are those Grover sealed metal butterbeans things- or rotomatics I guess.

Upstairs Sunday rig.

Yo Pissy. I'm not getting that JCM 800. I see he's got it listed for a few hundred more than what he'd sell it to me for.

I made a starter yesterday morning.  Today it bloomed.  Record time for me.  I used cooled teapot water and I set it out on the porch for about 5 hrs after I put it together.  Then this morning I put it in a warm water bath.

Not in my experience.  I mean high gain and feedback happen, but my semi's don't feed back any more than my solids, that I've noticed.  And this one is like half a semi-hollow body.  

Mind you I play bass in my band, so I'm not at stage volume very often when I'm playing guitar, cuz I'm chooglin' at home.

^That looks sharp^
Any concerns about a semi hollow being more prone to feedback?

Lordfinesse and I have been anticipating the release of this EVH guitar (the SA-126) for about a year.  Wolfgang had been playing the prototype for some time in white trim in live situations.  I think he played it for Taylor Hawkins tribute show. 

Anyways it's being released now.   And now that I see the specs on it, two things stand out to me.  First, it mimics heavily the Charvel Surfcaster of the 90's. More specifically one like Scott Ian played in Anthrax during the White Noise era.   Aside from the make and shape, the only differences I can tell are an Ebony fretboard here, and the HH pickup configuration, whereas Ian's was HS with rosewood.  I guess the bridge is different too.  And second, I don't care for the color options.   Matte black (too goth), matte green (too Jan 6th) transparent purple (too flamboyant) and the sunburst.   The sunburst is fine, but doesn't knock my socks off.  A white one would be tits.

So, partial semi-hollow design with an E-hole, ebony fingerboard, jumbo frets, tri-block inlay, HH configuration, stop tailpiece, harmonica bridge (70's Gibson Marauder fan?) high output HB pickups with a bolt on neck.  The price is steep, at $1900 for the transparent colors and $1799 for the matte for a MIM (I assume) guitar, but something tells me they'll hold their value fairly well.  I'm looking forward to playing one.

Nah. Believe it or not ginger is used much in Thai cooking unless it's Chinese influenced. You get a knob of fresh galangal in your hand and you'll see it smells nothing like ginger. It's a fantastic aroma. I hate cologne but I'd wear a scent that smells like galangal.

A variation I do want to try is with mashed dried shrimp or with Korean salted shrimp.

Good to know.  I actually have some mexi-bag chilies whole that are about the same heat as your NPhK was.   Picked up some shallots and garlic- we were out.  Gonna hunt that galangal this evening.  Spice World here has a good amount of Asian stuff. It's close to the Asian Market as well.  

You ever try it with ginger root?
