[carlospenna]

[metachozoite]

[SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1]

Nice version of ''Lonely is the night''

[Noitpure]

@SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1 When you find yourself alone... : )  Thanks! Best, T

[Lespaulhootz]

Do you know if Eddie played guitar during the interview?

[VanHalenWorshiper]

wow 5149 awesome!

[NisseEricsson]

You rock, cool guitar.

[Noitpure]

@NisseEricsson Thanks! : )

[thwipp]

$300 for this guitar?? you got a steal!

[Noitpure]

@thwipp Thanks goes to EVH for threatening lawsuits for guitars like this. I guess Dweezil didn't want to ruffle Ed's feather. For that I'm grateful! : )

[thwipp]

@Noitpure he and EVH are pretty friendly from what i've heard, so he shouldn't have been worried but nice score on your end, regardless!

[HyperfastMalmsteen]

you got boobs"!!

[DarthKazi]

Gosh, I wish I had a Dweezil Zappa guitar just hanging out forgotten in my closet...

[schecterblackjack]

nice guitar...maybe u should learn to play it

[jmpatton51]

Nice tone. I like your laid back approach and playing. I dig it.

[Noitpure]

@jmpatton51 Thank for the kind words! Best, T

[jeffreycollins]

Man I wish I knew he was selling a bunch of his gear. I would have sold all of mine to get some of his.

[Noitpure]

@jeffreycollins Me too. It was years ago when I had like no money. Thankfully, he was selling this stuff CHEAP! LOL

[jacoblroark]

best female guitarist on the internet? mind telling me where i can find this guitar, and what price

[Noitpure]

@jacoblroark Thanks!: ) The Shamer isn't for sale. Too much fun to play. I plan to hold on to this one. Take care, T

[jem7772]

is it for sale ???

[Noitpure]

@jem7772 Sorry, not for sale. 

[guitarmanJoeWentz]

Nice!!! Great riffs!!! You're very lucky to have come across a gem like that!! Good for you, that is awesome!!

[Noitpure]

@guitarmanJoeWentz Thank you! I couldn't be happier with a guitar. Not only does it have an interesting history, it plays and sounds fantastic. Take care, T

[vanhalen5150jhs]

nice

[Noitpure]

@vanhalen5150jhs Thanks!

[AirVengeance318]

Tone is just sick *two thumbs up*

[Noitpure]

@AirVengeance318 : )  Thank you!!!

[danh5150]

LOL!! Nice work!

Great guitar, too. I love Dweezil and EVH.

PS-loved the Billy Squire riff at 3:19

[Noitpure]

Thank you!!! Needless to say, I've been playing this guitar a lot more since this video! Take care, T

[smackythefrog23]

glad this guitar found its way into hands that will actually play it, rather than put it on a shelf.

[Noitpure]

Thanks! It's a player for sure and I really enjoy owning it. I'll never understand why DZ sold it as it's got a really cool vibe and excellent playablity/tone. Take care, T

[fendermac]

He might've been quicker but I can't imagine Dweezil ever sounded better playing this guitar.

[Noitpure]

Thank you!  I can say with all certainy that DZ can play Eruption MUCH better than I could ever hope to! Cheers, T

[marcmickey]

AWESOME !

[Noitpure]

Thank you!  : )

[ziggy72170]

WoW,, My Goodness . If you put that on E-bay, no doubt you'd fetch an easy 5-K ... Crazy Cool !

[Noitpure]

Thanks! It's a joy to own and play!  Best regards, T

[ziggy72170]

@Noitpure That Reinhardt . Is it the Jester (head) ? I see a store here in Nashville selling one for $1,700 . pretty pricey .

[Noitpure]

No, it's a MI-6. Basically the Reinhardt 18 but with 6V6's instead of EL84's. Take care, T

[Noitpure]

Thanks for checking it out! No worries about DZ having a Joe's Garage Sale. He has PLENTY of gear! LOL Best wishes, T

[zwarkin]

great licks babe i enjoy your playin:)

[Noitpure]

Thank you very much! Happy Holidays! : )

T

[dyingforastrat]

Wow you really have so much cool gear and I can tell you love it, I couldn't imagine coming home and my wife saying,"Hey hon check it out I just bought a new(Insert whatever awesome peice you have here)today" I think I would just keel over. God bless ya dear, I love it, keep jammin

[Noitpure]

Thank you for your very kind words. My humble collection has taken me 20 years of hard work to come by.  If I play it, I adore it. : ) I truly enjoy playing and sharing the results on the Tube. Especially when I get comments like yours. : ) Thank you and best wishes, T

[robertgroove66]

Hey you really have cool gear!! You get a nice fat sound out of that setup.

Rob

[Noitpure]

Thanks Rob! I'm really enjoying the videos you have up! You my friend, have some awesome gear! Take care, Trina

[xntrickk]

lol, shamer...

[roccotanto]

that guitar is beautiful! cool score.......very cool!

[Noitpure]

Thank you! Not only is this one of the best purchases I've ever made, the guitar plays amazingly. Take care, T

[roccotanto]

i would spank that plank in a seriously old school 80s style......i love the GMW guys work. i KNOW it plays good. they don't let bad ones out of the shop!

[ss11s]

Are you tight with DZ?

[wisesatyr72]

you have the coolest gear..esp this guitar.

[Noitpure]

Thanks! This one seems to get a lot of comments!  LOL Take care, T

[wisesatyr72]

Yeah this was my dream guitar at 14yrs old..you're the apple of all envy

[rawel34]

This is the rock guitar sound I like : soft and aggressive at the same time, with dynamics and touch-sensible.

Really cool !

[Noitpure]

Thank you very much! Seems we have very similar tastes! Take care, T

[thwipp]

do you remember how much you paid for this??

[Noitpure]

Thanks to EVH threatening to sue everyone selling striped guitars around this time, Dweezil sold it for $300. ; )

[thwipp]

damn! when you said really cheap, i was thinking $750 on the low end. you got it dirt cheap. nice score!

[chooseyourblues]

I don't believe you have this guitar!!!

I am a huge Van Halen fan and i have the Guitar Player interview with Eddie and Dweezil. It's from the Balance time when Eddie had the short hair and was sober for once!!!

Awesome, small world!

[Noitpure]

Nice! I had the mag in question from when it came out, but when I got the guitar I had to hit eBay and get another copy, as I'd pretty much worn my original issue out! Best wishes!

[tomtiddler]

Nice guitar, and a great story of how you came by it. Cheers for posting!

[skydog46]

That sounds killer!!!!

[skydog46]

Cool story!!!! Damn what else did he sell? What else do you have in room that you haven't dug out?? LOL!!!

[Noitpure]

LOL I have a few other guitars that haven't made it to Tube world yet, but the Shamer is the most interesting. Dweezil sold a bunch of his guitars, pedals(I bought 5 of them), amps and some studio gear during the Joe's Garage Sale in 2004. Crazy low prices for some really cool guitars. One of the pedals I got was a vintage Phase 45 for $40.

I'll eventually dig this stuff out and do some videos with it. It's just hard to tear me away from my Les Paul's! LOL Thanks D!

[palmster56]

what songs did you just play there?

[Noitpure]

Started with a snippet of Heart's Shell Shock.

Then Dweezil's band Z- Did I mention It Was Huge off of Shampoohorn. (this guitar is pictured in the insert for that CD.) Next is a piece of an original song of mine. Jam noodle, then Panama, Lonely is the Night and just noodling after that. Thanks for checking it out!

[plantboy]

oh man i miss my Dweezil guitar right now.

[Noitpure]

Hopefully one day our DZ's can get together for a reunion jam!

[mheldo]

Great stuff! I really dig your videos. Keep em coming!

[Noitpure]

Thanks for checking the videos out! Take care. : )
