Some of Chucks guitars came over today

[kmanick]

Chuck had some free time today and I'm off this week so we finally got together for a little impromptu jam out. Don't let Chuck tell you different, he can still smoke up a fret board. His chops are all still there, he says they're not so I think it would be scary to see him when he's on his game. He brought over his Green HRF and a beautiful bound parts charvy with an ebony fret board. Both really nice but I have to say the neck on the HRF is as close to a perfect feeling neck that I've ever played. Just Fuk'n amazing.
My bengal and his parts charvy


Chuck showing me the intro to mean streets (I never learned it, don't ask me why) he nails it.

The kids hanging out in my basement.


Me looking pretty rough with my 2 favorites axes, my GMW Ratt bomber and my 83 Bengal.


Great afternoon hanging with Chuck, a real class guy.

<font color="yellow">Hmmmmmmmmm, how did I know Chuck Splatterpuss would have a hockey sweatshirt on [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/brow.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Chuck...We thought you said the HRF's were in the mail as Krista wanted them [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Musta been the pic you sent in the X-Mas card, which I've dubbed "The Dream Team" [img]/images/graemlins/eviltongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Sweet guitars.....and the "parts mutt" that chuck brought over he calls his "Les Paul" [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

He's always teasing me with family pics at work [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/eviltongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/drool2.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Chuck is a very good friend of mine, totally upstanding dude on all fronts, no bullshit, just in your face honesty and a decent guy [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

He said you were a cool shit too Nick [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

Wish I coulda went to help babysit [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Actually, I'd kidnap the green HRF but I probably wouldn't make it. My only saving grace is maybe I might be a little quicker, but if "Mr Firehydrant" ever caught me I'd be broken like a twig [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Awesome post....oh Chuck....gimmie a call [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] </font>

Re: Some of Chucks guitars came over today

<font color="yellow">Tommy, I'm truly sorry bro for using your "firehydrant" phrase for Mr Splatter and not giving you the due credit you deserve.

It was unintentional, just seemed to "fit" into my ramble [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

The Atomic Noodle gets all said credit for said monicker of Mr Splatter.

Although, today, I thought up Chuckbill Splatterpuss all on my own [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'm gonna go run and hide now....but Chuck won't come looking for me, he'd melt with our oppressive heat and humidity like the Snowman in the cartoon [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Some of Chucks guitars came over today

chuck can't go outside unless it's 20 below.
he's a sick fukker.

Re: Some of Chucks guitars came over today

Hey John, that is the new soloist, it's more fuscia than blood red (which is what I thought it was from the ebay pics). Nice neck on it needs a set up but should be a monster player. Wide fretboard feels like 1 3/4 wide.
Chuck is too generous with his accolodes on my playing, as some of you know I didn't touch a guitar for almost 21 years so I'm just doing what I can to get the chops back to where they were. When I can keep up with chuck I'll be happy.
I had a great time today too Chuck, let's hook up again soon,
I always have a good time with a Fellow Van Halen freak! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
I'll post some pics of the Soloist tomorrow, after I clean her up a little, she's in good shape.

Re: Some of Chucks guitars came over today

Cool sh!t, and that is awsome that you guys could do that this week (ahh the problems with my fukin' job and Monte, if you are listening, I am where you were 2-3 months ago!).

Anyway cool and thanks for the pics. Still drooling over the Bengal! (and the HRF and ........)
