Lunch there three or four times a month. Kinda wish they were flame broiled, but good nonetheless. I like that you can add all the fixins. At my local Fudds (Brookfield, Wisc.) they have a "Beatle booth" surrounded by photos of the lads. There's also a Stones booth and an Elvis booth.

Went to the Hard Rock in Miami a few days ago. Thought I'd share some pics my daughter took!

The Hofner is interesting. Tony, the Searcher's bass player "purchased in Hamburg Germany in 1962, one week after Paul McCartney got his at the same store. It was used to record all the Searcher's #1 Hits".

What's the story on the Rick, anything to do with REM? I think I see Bill Berry's autograph.

I really like the early Wal basses that are shaped a bit like a cartoon Fender Mustang bass. It's a cool look with the double pickups.

John,

That is Bill Berry's Ric. That 4001 caught my eye from quite a way's off! It had a LOT of play time on her!

Many of the guitars are new Kramer's or Ibanez models with autographs.

It was nice to see some actual players in there! Check out this one....I think they called this one a BUZZARD bass?

Hehe Image Cool that you recognize Italy. It was in Ostia.
I went on a 5 day excursion trip to Rome. The first place we visit in Italy was Ostia though. Very interesting!

That was almost the idea, but they're more of an EB3 kinda shape.
