hello all...
thanks for having me. this forum is a great wealth of info.
i'm in austin, moved down from detroit last spring. i've been playing since i was a little kid (37 now), spent most all of my adult life as a touring musician. spent the last couple years as a guitar tech. decided i liked austin better than being on the road all the time, so now i work a regular gig.
last year, i lucked into a really nice TMZ natural for a price i couldn't beat. i've always played vintage styled gibsons or fenders. this was a chance to try something different, and i've been wanting a good shredder guitar since i was 14 and i sold my old kramer.
this guitar blew me away. i literally sold all my others, and kept only the natural. (i wasn't gigging much, mostly tech work, so i decided i'd rather have the money than the collection)
it was sold used but unplayed on ebay. the listing stated it was a winter 07 namm display guitar. i don't know about that, but it's a killer guitar for sure.
the serial # is 7749, with tmz 141 on the back of the headstock. here are a few pics.
a friend of mine has one of eddie's music man guitars from after a van hagar tour. it has a great gunked-up fingerboard. just looked really cool, like the old fenders where the lacquer on the 'board wears away and gets a cool patina.
i dig that mine is getting there:
this guitar is definitely a sleeper. my vintage snob pals can't believe i play a charvel instead of my old les pauls or teles. then they hear it. it nails a tone i've been chasing for years.
