Location: Chicagoland | So I've seen these Preachers on ebay floating aobut recently, and fell in love with them (espeically the ones with 'preacher' labled on the pickguard). However, it seems the've disappeared!
I haven't been looking on Ebay until recently so I was wondering if Preacher's are usually on there or if it's a rare occurance. Im only 16, so I'd have to save up the money. |

Location: Tennessee | Uh ... that's a Viper. With funky pickguard and humbuckie in the bridge position. Vipers are cool, Sherman, but keep looking for a Preacher if that's what you want. Here's a hint ... if you haven't already done so, go to the gallery (under member access) where you can also do a search. Then search on Preacher, Viper, Deacon, Breadwinner, UKII, etc. and you can check out some cool pics of the different guitars some of the members here have.
P.S. Anybody here remember Sherman and Mr. Peabody? |

Location: Phoenix AZ | If the price on that Viper stays anywhere near where it is, THAT is a hell of a bargin. Just need a new pickguard and truss rod cover. Heck, the case alone is worth the current price. I like the Viper look way better than the Screecher, anyway. The maple neck and fingerboard are beautiful. |

Location: Chicagoland | Not a fan of the Vipers with the lgiht body, but that one with the stained (or mahgony?) body is beautiful. However, I'm a poor man, and I have to decide on something. I'd rather try for a breadwinner or a Viper III, but they are jsut too hard to find. :(
Thanks for the help guys! |

Location: Upper Left USA | Okay, my bad. Always read the description AND look at the picture on eBay!
I will have a renOvated viper sans maple body and maple neck on the block here shortly. Strung (stringed?) it up and plugged it in just the other day - Wow! Comparing the ebony F/B on the BW with the maple on the Viper - amazing what tones come out!
Lots of delicious Ice Cream! :D |

Paul Hebert, will you post something so that my poorly caffienated mind will be at ease...
and for my own compulsive sense of organization:
Mr. Peabody and his Boy Sherman - with the Wayback Machine - always ended on a pun.
Fractured Fairy Tales - ended on a pun.
Tennesee Tuxedo, Chumly and Mr. Whoopee utilized the incredible 3D BB.
Culturally MIA:

Thank you |

...ok Cliff, answer me this:
What was the name of the cartoon "professor" (tall, thin, white coat, mustache) with the short, silent assistant? I think it was a side cartoon on the Tom Teriffic Show... he was always getting himself blown up, etc... :confused: |

Clifford, you need to up your meds. Flashing back to Clutch Cargo and then forward to Greta Van Sustren is not a good thing.
Altho' the age of Clutch and Greta does make one wonder about their lineage........ |
