Quitters Go More Grungy

Since this is a gear page also, more or less, I'll describe the video as another anime influenced type video with what I would call some Noise Punk or no wave type sounds. Recorded with an SG copy through a Positive Grid amp. I used a tascam 4 track but it was my first time on it and I got the levels wrong...some might say very wrong :-) Even though it's as distorted as you can possibly get and still know that there's a guitar playing, it seemed fine for what I was going for as far as some kind of a noise Rock thing so I decided to keep it :-) Al Handa

Vintage Instruments On Handa-McGraw International cuts


H.M.I. Vintage Instruments Part 1

It occurred to me that many of our videos on YouTube and elsewhere were recorded using what are now vintage instruments. These kinds of video shorts or long length are fairly common on YouTube but most of these here are in a commercially recorded context and are now available on Spotify and elsewhere. They're not intended to be definitive demos of the instruments capabilities or sound, but another bit of data to add to any exploration on a guitar type.
