Man, I love Gary Garcia's playing in the Grateful Dead. Had no idea he was such a great luthier as well.

Custom built for me from scratch by the fine luthiers at Xotic. Roasted flame maple neck w/ oil finish Jescar frets Alder body w/ nitro finish Raw Vintage hardware & pickups

Steely Dan is my favorite band & I've never really experience any hate towards Walter, especially for his playing. His guitar playing is a little to un-Jazzy for SD imo, compared to the great players that have graced SD albums, but his bass playing is world class.

This would probably work. Dimarzio has registered cream double coil pickups. Make an eggshell off white humbucker, registered it & you're fine & you can go after anyone who infringes on your patent/registration.

Unfortunately what the average man in the street thinks it 100% irrelevant. The law is the law is the law & what anyone thinks or feels makes no difference.

Dimarzio didn't patent a color. They patented the color 'double cream' as it relates to 'humbucking pickups'. You can sell a cream car or a cream hammer, but you can't sell a double cream humbucking pickup. BIG difference.

if you could actually do this, then you'd have the right to sue anyone who infringes on your patent/trademark & licensing deals are done all the time ie: strat head stocks. Why is this such a head scratcher for most people? :confused:

Apparently if you're a big company & own something, it's OK for a small company to steal from you. :confused:

+1 The law is the law is the law. Dimarzio paid for & owns a patent. Someone is stealing their patent...which they own, which they paid for, which belongs to them. Dimarzio has a right to protect their property. You may not like it, but it's the law & reality in the business world.

That forum kinda died off after the domain issues, but it's beginning to pick up a little. It's too bad as George is a genius & his new MetroPlex amp is killer.

What exactly is this? Will it give the exact same tone & feel as a veriac?

Ever the EVH fan boy, I bought a veriac today for my Ceriatone Yeti 50 & I must say, EVERYONE needs a Veriac to make their tone more 'brown'. Best $86 I ever spent. This clip is direct in, no effects with the Veriac set to 90 volts. YSKNggQUB8w

I just use the loop for analog delay & it sounds fine. The Friedman loop is better though.

E-mail Nik & ask him. I've never run into anyone online that is more flexible with his builds & eager to please the customer than him.

Just got my Ceriatone Yeti 50. I'd never played or even seen a Ceriatone before & the one thing I know for sure is that I'm buying another one ASAP. Nik rules!!!!!! fgp8gVo1Mbk Bone dry, direct into the amp with no effects.

No kidding. People pay top dollar for the honor of the Gibson logo & gladly take a lower quality guitar home. I REALLY wanted a Les Paul & tried over a dozen of them & none were very good & none were worth the money. This is when I threw caution to the wind & bought my 1st Carvin, which is...

I agree with you. If Carvin was available in stores, they would be a lot more popular. However, the price would rise dramatically if they went retail. As much as I love Suhrs & Andersons, some of their prices are ridiculous. You can get a comparable Carvin for much less & this is strictly due...

But have you played one?

I don't know that their PUs used to sound like, but now a days, they sound really good. When I got my 1st Carvin, I had a set of Dimarzio 36th Anniversay PAFs waiting ahead of time so I could change them as soon as my Carvin arrived. When I got my guitar, the original PUs sounded so good I...
