A heartfelt Thank you...
I just scored this little fire-breather of an amp. :applaude
I wish you could be in the room to hear this thing, it's thick and chunky.
Definately, lives up to the reputation.
Here is a very rushed clip, in meter and time spent working on it...
As "all things Stinger" that I like to think that I am, I have to admit that I have never fondled a Stinger Flying V Custom or a Stinger J-45, SJ-200 or Hummingbird.
Does anyone have one (or more) of these beauties that would like to share their ownership experience with us?
Pics too, please!
In November of last year, I purchased the last Burst Brothers/Stinger R8/R9 that they had in stock in the entire country.
I live in Oregon and the guitar was located at the Nashville store.
During the purchase process, we found out that the guitars COA and case candy had gone missing somewhere...

First of all, I would like to thank forum Brother, tjhemp, for inviting me to join him.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I am grateful.

Hemp is toting his Bonamassa Studio, and I the GC R8/R9 Stinger.
As we take our...
Just f'ing ROCKS!
I ordered two sets of Uncle Lou's premium tuner tips on Friday....they arrived today (Monday)!!!!!
That's just great service.....nice work Kim! :applaude
Remember...HM is in Florida and I'm in Oregon...about as cross country as you can get.
I actually thought the package...
I have replaced pots and caps in most of my guitars with both RS Guitarworks "Vintage" and "Aged" sets........with pretty good results.
However, I still had a tonal change when turning down the volume pot.
My good friend and Guitar Tech (I5studio) came up with a very cheap mod that REALLY works...
Ok,
I was informed by the American and Canadian Reflector and Double Ring Police......that my Braz R0 was wearing unapropriate attire.
As to not get cited, I dressed "Woody" properly!
......also pictured with Woody are his girlfriends Roselita and The Diva.
