SickString
Born in Brookly. Now live Upstate NY (Owego). USCG Veteran. Electro-Mechanical Tech. Can't play the guitar very well... but I can Super Fix & Set 'em up sweetly. I own a '64 Comet which is my main hobby. I Love Dogs and sometimes foster them. I have only one dog right now, Natalie, a Labrador/Dachshund Mix... I know... but it's True... I call her a LabraWeiner... there are bunches of them out there. I like the Duncan Seymour stuff and it came installed on my Greg Bennett Royale RL1 and my Greg Bennett Torino TR2. I don't play very well and actually, as a Retired (Disabled Vet) Tech, I discovered I'm more interested in the "Guitars" themselves than playing them. I'm also interested in the Amps. Especially Tube Amps. One of my Hobbies is Vintage Audio Equipment. I'm probably the only jukebox tech within a thousand miles radius. I have some old phonographs that have very decent Tube Amps that I'm going to use to build my own rig. Working with the Guitars, for me, is like working with really cool toys. Oh, and, if you want to save money ask me about the Reality of Capacitors some day. I'm going to my fully Re-Capped 1959 Telefunken Verdi Radio/Phono Console, Made by those Wonderful, Brilliant Techs in West Germany. Good Day to All! ...and make sure you Enjoy an Amazing Day... and be Kind to every living being while your at it.

- Beautiful Guitars: Greg Bennett Royale RL-1/RL1, Black. Greg Bennett Torino TR-2/TR2, Translucent Red. Dean Evo XM, Satin. Cool/Wierd Thing I was told is a Highlander Electric Acoustic, but I suspect it's an Ibanez thing, will eventually post some pics to get help with identifying it. Cute, Sweet, & Fun First Act ME1958 Red Mini Guitar. Bizarre Hobo Finish Acoustic, Vintage, looks like and has model number G-100Y, like a Delray by Teisco Model. My wife hung it on the wall for a decoration. First Act Adam Levine AL363 Acoustic Guitar, Satin Finish, another kick back in my easy chair type Fun One, plays nice and was super Cheap. I have a pile of Practice Amps, Peavey, Crate, a Vintage, weird FGEnterprises thing, Some First Act Practice, Portable, Pocket Amps, Esteban Amp, Epoch Amp. I have a whole pile of Fun "Stuff" for modifying, customizing, repairing, etc. all of this junk... and cases and cables and picks and... a whole lotta Fun!
- Duncan Pups I Have Experience With...
- Dual Duncan Designed humbucker pickups (HB-103N, HB 103B).
I had a dog named Duncan, Black Lab Mix. Brilliant, He passed away June 2, 2009. He was my big/little boy, my Prince, my Hero... needless to say, these pickups remind me of Him... and they just happen to be well loved by all... just like my Duncan... Awesome Pickups... so all my custom/modified guitars will be wearing them.
