The inner mounting flange on the frame is threaded so the only thing needed to keep the bolt in place is the pin clip.

My question is:  does the exhaust have to be removed or dropped out of the way to install the right side of the center stand? On my 92 it looks like it wil have to be moved.

Yes, I had to loosen the exhaust at the head and push it out a bit to get that bolt out when I took mine off.

Indestructibleman-What kind of axe is that?  Looks like an Ibanez, something expensive?

I've got a Gibby Explorer with Burstbuckers in it, and a cheap Fender Highway 1 Strat that I shielded all up by myself.  Yeah baby!

Amps, I have a '65 Bandmaster head (no reverb, unfortunately) and a '99 Marshall TSL100 that I'm trying to get rid of as it's too freakin' loud for playing in Cali.  Know of anybody that actually plays out that wants a really friggin' loud Marshall?  Oh yeah, I do play through a Marshall 2x12, and it's still TOO loud!

Ibanez RG-220

the vast majority of my playing is acoustic.  i've got a yamaha fg-75 folk guitar that has the most gorgeous tone when you put extra light strings on it.

my little washburn practice amp is way too loud for the apartment complex i'm in.  i never played electric enough to develop a preference for gear setup.  still like to screw around with it occasionally though.  it's much tighter than the Squier strat i had stolen a few years ago.

i bought the guitar and amp off a buddy for $200.  smokin' deal.  he bought it new, owned it about a year and pretty much never played it.

cheers,
will

Danny-

Your dad's Gibson is just that.  Your DAD's!!!  My Gibson is MINE!!!   Just kidding Danny, I'd still rather have your situation, that ES335 is BAD-ASS TO THE BONE!!!!!!!!!

IDSM-

Acoustic is very cool.  I've been playing for 5/6 years, and I still am not confident enough to play acoustic very much in front of people, just because it's so sensitive and easy to hear mistakes.  But, I'm gradually getting over that, esp. since I am realizing that ya can't really play with an electric and really any amp cranked up for too long without people getting really mad really fast.  Used to not care, but now it's nice to have neighbors that don't hate you...
