I'm not quite sure why it is, but lately I seem to have been blessed with being in the right place at the right time.
Guitars that I have lusted over for years seem to be falling into my lap, and for the most part at prices I can rationalize!
Maybe it's the sad U S economy forcing players and smug collectors to part with their wall art...I don't know. I do know my
credit cards are about ready to blow, so these last guitars are the final new member of The Stripe Room for the
immediate future. (that is untill I get a new case of GAS)

I’m working on a new website devoted entirely to the Floyd Rose USA
V24 Arrow. These guitars are as futuristic looking as they are innovative yet have virtually no information published about them, and remain unknown. The site is called The Holy Headstock and will be a gallery & information/reference type
site. Domain names have been reserved; writing is almost done; and I’m past half way on the road to publishing
it. I'll keep you posted.

To soothe all those that have written about my tunes only being excerpts, I have downloaded full
length new tuneage for each page. Let me know which tunes you like, or don't like.
UPDATE: January 2010
Well, here I am back again after almost 6 months without an update. I feel pretty ashamed of myself
for the lapse, but I also realize there was not enough time to do everything I wanted. Contrary to belief writing and managing
a site (now there is two) is very time consuming especially when the writing part does NOT come very easy to yours truly.
I'll try to make it up to my loyal readers throughout twenty ten.

I have uncovered some incredible new information on Floyd Rose USA guitars as
well as purchased some never released to the public models. I broke down and purchased my very first bass guitar (hey,
their cool too, they just have 2 less strings!) I bought a new amp to test guitars and torture the neighbors: a
Blackheart BH5H head and two BH112 cabinets. Now I'm thinking about different tubes and heating up the soldering
iron to do some amp mods.
Two of my very best ferret friends passed
away in late October 2009, one of them was my original fuzzy Doobie...the other my big (7 lbs.) lover boy Mohawk...of course
these events made my creativity level nonexistant.
ANOTHER UPDATE: June 2010
Just a quick note to say I've collected 6 new members to The Stripe Room since the beginning
