Re: User Group Day - Your Accounts, Impressions and Photos

I can't believe I got this Demon for $40! It's kinda old; the address on the box reads 601 Pine Ave. Evan, when did you guys move from that old location?

August 1993. 18 years ago, the same month I started working at SD.

Thanks for joining us, arellanon!

Ok here are some of the better pics I took:



The main entrance sign per say.



Our good friend Evan giving us instructions and orientation.



Seymour himself.



Mrs. Duncan if I am not mistaken.



This is one of the guitars that were available for try out at the UGD. It is a Seymour Duncan Strat with Stack Plus pups.





The Zephyrs.... @_@



Seymour greeting us and telling us some of his awesome stories.



Big Yngwie fan here....... ^_^



This is a display of different pickups throughout the years. This display was one of my favorite parts of my visit at the factory.



A close up of the pickup display showcasing humbuckers.



Old ad for Seymour Duncan.



I love this ad as well: showcasing humbucker greats Seth Lover and Seymour Duncan.



Seymour signing baseplates with MJ and Warren DeMartini.



This is a picture of a pink/yellow Screaming Demon and the S-Deco I helped wind at the factory. I can't believe I got this Demon for $40! It's kinda old; the address on the box reads 601 Pine Ave. Evan, when did you guys move from that old location?



I bought all of this home! The big box to the left, a Stealth Plug guitar computer interface, was won by raffle. I mentioned my purchase of the Screaming Demon as well as a FREE Custom Shop S-Deco. Everything else was a gift bag with goodies from different manufacturers: Seymour Duncan, Dunlop, Cleartone, D'Addario, Planet Waves, AmpliTube, and Star Picks.

Wow, what a day! August 2011 will go down as one of my best guitar months ever. I also purchased a used Carvin DC135 earlier this month. Read about it here:

All I got was an airline change fee. Work popped up in the way of my normal life. Wish I was there.

It was an awesome day at Seymour Duncan. Evan was a great host as was everyone at the factory. I got to chat a little with Gearjoneser, Aceman, and Virtual Kevorkian was there as well but I did not get a chance to say hi to him. I got to (partially) wind my S-Deco (I got MJ to autograph it) and purchased an older pink/yellow Screaming Demon for $40!

Also the little gift bags were just outstanding; we got two t-shirts, picks, strings, stickers, flyers, even coasters!

I will post pics in a bit. All in all a day I'll never forget.
