aw man, that looks like a great guitar :)

I've been learning swedish for about two months now, I'm planning to move there once I've finished my degree (maybe september time if I can get the money together). I was gonna say "Jag förstår nu" but i'm never sure if it's right or not (i get really nervous about it, my swedish friends think it's really funny).

We're all huge refused fanatics in our house, they were an extraordinary band - I think I've had that sig since maybe 3 weeks after I joined!

wow, i can´t believe i failed to notice it for that long :-\

"jag förstår nu" is 100% correct. that is, unless you  were meaning to say something else than "i understand now"  ;)

That first black Hagstrom is incredible. I have seen the crimson translucent ones before and loved them, but in that pic the black rules. I am working a red 63 right now. I bought one of the Guild bridges for it. The Guild looks much cooler than with the thing that was thrown at it before. My Hag also had miscellaneous Gibson tuners that were meant for a 3x3 (and were on an inline six). It was in need of BIG LOVE.
What's he building in there?

i went to see Peter Björn and John tonight, and the bass player was playing the bass version of that black Hagstrom. It looked and sounded amazing!

i had one of those for a while too. i couldn´t find use for it though. due to the short scale and the bassy pickups it was hard to get a sound i liked out of it. they are great for the kind of music PB&J play though.

yeah definitely, it had a really nice thud to it, with not a lot of sustain.

yes, thud is definitely the right word. like a ric with flatwounds and the mute turned up all the way.
