Howdy- OnePingOnly here or "OPO" lol.

Retirement age (some may say), stage and studio guitarist for decades, been through both medical and financial calamities and made it through both; thankful to still be here as "I'M NOT DONE YET", and starting from scratch in many ways..and one of those ways is gear. Have credibility on fleabay as a buyer and seller, and a few purchases on Reverb.

Been blessed with many great pieces of gear along the way- Gibsons, Fenders, PRS (80's originals as well as later models) TomAnderson Guitarworks DropTops; I was the first guy in the city to own the new SDE-3000 when it came out in the 80's; Amps were '75 JMP & Plexi Reissue Marshall, Soldano HR50+, Mesa Quad Preamp and Ada-based rack rigs, and so on, in a wet/dry/wet setup powered by a 120/120 Classic Peavey tube power amp.

Right now for the immediate past and present I've had the Atomic Amplifier 12, a PRS USA SilverSky- but the SS, as good as it is, and it's a STELLAR guitar, isn't so much my normal "voice" with those amazing singlecoils it has. I'm much more a humbucker guy.

I was hoping to acquire something here, but it appears that I need 50 posts and have two-step ID verification enabled to even participate in the classifieds, even to buy. If there is some sort of option or work-around I'd be grateful.

Meanwhile, as tech has progressed so far fwd in the last 10+ years, I've had to rethink, and WELCOME the options we have today.

NGD!!! I've a Heritage Cust Shop Core H-150 being delivered today (I bet it meets, if not exceeds my previous Historic R8 loaded with JM Rolph's pickups, etc); and am working on the game plan for my new, modern rig. Hoping to glean wisdom and guidance here as I put this thing together.

Looking fwd to hangin' with y'all. Oh, I just enabled two-step verification. No, not that kind of two step...snort.

Is it soup yet?

Thank you, Monkey Man! BTW, it's NGD here (ahem- technically used but it looks MINT). It's an astounding guitar. I've owned many LP's including my last one that was a R8 historic. This far exceeds it in lighter weight (7.8 lbs), playability and build quality. I'm stunned. I in no way am inciting a Gibson vs Heritage debate here, so please EVERYONE just be happy that I'm thrilled with it so far- I've not yet had a chance to plug it in...tomorrow I will. Maybe this is the wrong thread for it, but here's a few dealer pics of my acquisition:

You only need that to buy or sell in the Classifieds section, along with 50 posts, just so you know.

"You only need that to buy or sell in the Classifieds section, along with 50 posts, just so you know."

That's precisely my objective. There's something in there I wish to acquire and right now I'm hamstrung. snort.
