Let's remember some GJ guys

[Flamencology]

His extended scale guitars were cool

Yeah. He was a 7-string player who idolized George Van Eps, who played an extended-scale custom Gretsch with extremely heavy strings tuned GDGCFAD, and whose sound was like a dark and smoky muted piano.

So, after buying and flipping about every 7-string on the market, including all of the nu-metal models, and being dissatisfied, he started his own company. But his original plan — the 27” neck 7-string — was not one of his more successful models.

I think he's still flipping guitars. He's like Jazztixboi1.

Yeah, I was thinking about that association myself. I guess he stopped for a little while while he was focused on his own brand. But nothing lasts forever.

Before most of you guys joined HCGJ...

But Jim Soloway was a really terrific, knowledgeable, and valuable contributor.

I have a cd of his somewhere and n my pile of cds.

I liked him better when he was JackEMartling or Ron Mexico. Ron Mexico was one of the best names ever.

First non-local forum member I ever met IRL..a guitar show.

I met up with eloydrummerboy(?) and some other forumite in DC about 10 years ago. He was active here too for a while, wasn't he?

yeah eloy was here. He went to all the Prageatock and all the barnstorms, until his wife had a baby.

too bad I was in Jacksonville 10 years ago.

I remember a couple of trolls that came and went.......Splawndarts was one...Darial too. There was a third that escapes me.

Same guy.

 

[parrotheada1a]

There was another guy that had a joke thread running... Saul t Nads. I never posted in any of his threads, but it was hilarious.

He's also on the Heritage forum. He is now retired in Guadalajara, Mexico with his wife. I'm friends with him on FB.

 

[Motorik]

Brocktoon

If only he was still around.

 

[Motorik]

Ahhh yeah Smokey, not Stoney! He was cool

The ape/simian guy is sorta tickling a bell in the back of my head and is going to drive me nuts... Vikipaaaaydia

I suppose now is as good a time as any, but Smokey_McPot was my alt.

Sorry @Theodore, I remember you straight up asked me in PMs a long, long time ago and I denied it. I lied.

Also, tompetty of all people accused me too. I wouldn't normally think he would be perceptive. *spits*.

Baron85? He made great music.

 

[Flamencology]

He’d be 135 years old now.

 

[Motorik]

Flamencomonk was a nice fellow.

The one I really wish I'd kept in touch with was Monson. We used to play Company of Heroes together online almost every day for a long time. I think I'd have finished my PhD a year earlier if I hadn't played that game.

I wouldn't be so negative. Wes Powell bought one.

This fact will no doubt be mentioned in his obit.

 

[Theodore]

mormon gent from exurban Chicago who lived in nova and socal and went by MTC at another place whose original name I can't remember.

Lots of very specific geographical and demographic references... especially about LA. Posted regularly. Nobody? *spits* Know his real name and everything else, just can't remember his original username.
