we must sacrifice a small goat to appease guitar gods for such blasphemy. I noticed that there is an awful lot of goat sacrificing going on on this site :D I know it can't be all due to my ignorance ;)

Location: Bluffton, SC | Jeff just likes to sacrifice things, Doc. Guitars, goats, pretty much anything that starts with a "G".
Or is within arms reach. Either is close enough.
That Hamer is a beaut. Any other pics, JW? I can only imagine how it sounds. Which brings me to a question but it's such a hijack, I'll ask in another thread. |

Location: Buffalo,NY | I hope this doen't call for another goat sacrifice but the reviews on Harmony Central are not very kind to the Monaco III; don't worry, I definitely take Harmony Central Reviews with a huge grain of salt(sometimes a boulder's worth :D ).

I read the HC reviews Tom, and (grain of salt included) they are pretty good in my opinion... overall 9.3... |

Thank you. I should have been more specific. The overall is 9.7 but the Sound rating is only an 8.0; that's the one rating that I'm usually most interested in.
