If you want to shred, this is the guitar for you!

June 6, 2012


Forget the Jim Root Sig Strat. SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND LISTEN, PEACHFUZZ. This is Fender's Showmaster Celtic H. One of the last Superstrats.

MOTHER OF GOD. A 24-fret, set neck stratocaster?? No way! Get out of town!

Yah way! This is for real! A shredders dream!

THIS GUITAR CAN MAKE YOUR FINGERS MOVE FASTER THAN THE MILLENIUM FALCON.

Basswood body with hand-carved archtop. Really cool Celtic style inlays on 11th, 12th, and 13th frets. Rosewood fingerboard. EDDIE VAN HALEN LOOKED AT THIS GUITAR ONCE.

The stock pickup was kinda weak. So, I dropped a DiMarzio D Activator ($75 new) high-output humbucker and a new 500k volume pot in it to really open up the harmonics. Now, she really screams. WOMEN'S UNDERGARMENTS WILL LITERALLY DISENTEGRATE AT THE MERE SIGHT OF THIS INSTRUMENT. Sounds great for anything coming through a high gain amp, but also cleans up really well with great dynamics. By the way I still have the original PU too. If you want, I can put the stock one back in it if it will make the sale happen.

WARNING: THE NUMBER OF FEMALE BODIES CRAWLING ALL OVER YOU WITH THIS GUITAR IN HAND WILL BE THE ENVY OF ALL THE OTHER DOODS IN THE ROOM WHICH MAY CAUSE THEM TO WANT TO FIGHT YOU.

You really have to feel, play, and hear this guitar. I know you want to, and I really want you to also!

I'm selling the guitar with a practically-new (Just look at the pictures!) Roadrunner molded case (To get a case this clean, you'd have to buy it at Guitar Center and spend $120) plus a strap with locks (pictured). There are well over $200 worth of parts, add-ons, and accessories to go along with this guitar. So, I think $350 is a more-than-fair price. I'd prefer to have cash just because I've got doctor bills to pay (BACK INJURIES DUE TO THE INCREDIBLY HIGH NUMBER OF LADIES JUMPING ON ME BECAUSE THEY CANNOT RESIST THE MOJO THIS GUITAR PUTS OFF).

I'd even consider taking less without the case. Show me what you've got. Let's deal!

Hello,my name is Greg . I live in Palmyra now; moved here from Mobile,AL several months ago. ,but I`m originally from the Boston area. I have been a semi-professional Rod Stewart impersonator/impressionist for about 15 years. I am 48 yo. I call my tribute -BIG ROD.I am a large sized man so the name is very apt. My desire is to form a Rod Stewart tribute band or a duet with an acoustic guitarist, with other singers/musicians,or at least hire out myself as a one man show for hire,any occasion. I have ok 12 yo club speakers,stands,wireless mike and stand and amp and mixer,again none of it spectacular but good enough for a gig. I have all my music on a computer in Real Player and i have CDGs and some burned cd-roms. I am also willing to just get together to jam as a hobbyhorse,etc in lieu of gigs.. As for my act right now i do one-man shows with karaoke background music when i do have a rare gig. I only performed once in mobile at the Crooked Martini last year,a week before St. Patrick`s day. When i lived in Lancaster a few years back; I did a gig downtown on Queen st, for the Friday arts thing they had. The vast majority of all my past gigs have been in Mass. I have also won numerous karaoke contests over the years as well. I am always available for any occasion. I know over 70 Rod Stewart songs and can learn more. I perform,of course, the songs which are available on karaoke. My set list is anything from maggie may to his latest Songbook album. With a band or another musician,there are obviously many more songs that I will do such as songs he has not recorded but has performed as well as classic soul/rock covers in his style that fit his voice. I can sing many songs in an evening and have lots of energy and passion in my performances. I can move pretty good as well. I stay in character in my shows using a Stewart like voice and sense of humour. I use a long blonde wig and black viny like pants and tall boots. My shirts are either satiny like polyesters and I have a disco mirror ball type shirt i like to wear. I have three sport coats that i wear as well. I can wear make-up but haven`t used it in years. If you are seriously interested in putting something together or if you want to hire for an evening; please email me with details. I do not have a resume/package per se but i do have some video of my past performances going back to 1998/99 and a short video from last year as well. I will post my most current business card to this ad at some future time As for me auditioning for you and/or vice- versa; I do not have a rehearsal space but we could meet at yours or at my home or yours. I usually ask people to meet me at a local karaoke venue so they can see and hear me perform. You may also call me,Greg, at 717-639-xxxx 9:30 am- midnight.. Look forward to hearing from you; serious replies only. ALSO OPEN MINDED TO JOIN A COVER BAND AS A VOCALIST,FRONT MAN OR OTHERWISE. OBVIOUSLY IN THIS CASE I WOULD NOT BE DRESSED/PERFORMING AS ROD STEWART. YOUTUBE LINK BIG ROD-HOT LEGS - YouTube

This has to be a joke...it just has to be. :help:

Oh well, the next time I'm playing a gig that bites, I'll just remember that it could be worse: I could be backing some really lame Rob Stewart impersonator who calls himself "Big Rod" and the extent of his gigging experience is kareoke.
