What ever happened to harpmaster? I just realized I didn't see him around when I finally came back. Hope he's doing well.
Didn't Tony last leave in disgrace?
IIRC, that happened sometime before I got here in March 2014 but he he made a brief guest apperance a few years ago and all was forgiven. However, he has not posted at the old site since December 2014...
Uh, no. It did not happen that way.
Tony tried to scam someone here, got caught and was basically ridden out of town on a rail!
Personally, I had thought a lot better of him than that.
I still have some of his pickups in my LPB SX Lake Placid Strat and are very happy with them.

Well then, I stand corrected. Maybe I'm thinking of a different member who had a fall from grace but was ultimately forgiven a few years later...

Many folks felt Tony tried to make folks think he was winding his own pickups (like Tim - Budda)
Instead he was importing the from Asia.
He was a very likeable guy.
But he got caught trying to defraud one of the nice folks here.
He was supposed to be doing a re-build, re-finish of a guitar for someone.
I'm not certain but think he was having health problems at the time.
I talked with him a couple of times and found him a very pleasant person.
His mamma was rather famous: Viola Liuzzo.

I'm almost positive I sent Glasshand the black hardware off my AL-2800 Uniform a year or so ago so at the very least, I should have his mailing address saved somewhere...
EDIT:
I'm going back through my PMs and crosschecking against the MIA list. I sold him a Railhammer a while back so I was able to send him a PM with the new site url. I'll update the list with others as I work my way through them:

I sent personal emails to Matts and funk-n-stein. Haven´t got a response as of yet. Funk-n-Stein hasn´t been active in the forum for a while, but we have emailed each other from time to time. I just leave it to him to come visit if he wants.
Last time Matts was in the forum was april 25 IIRC. I´m actually worried he hasn´t been active from that day. Hoping he and his family are all good regarding covid19 and/or any important issue.

I just confirmed that the old AGF PM system does still send out email notifications if you reply to a PM that has already been started.
I've gone as far as I can go in getting the word out through AGF PMs so if you have communicated with anyone on the list in a PM, I'd appreciate it if you'd reply to them with the address here, keeping in mind that there is a script running that replaces NET with COM. I used the following in my PMS:
If you're wondering where everybody went and why, go to aguitarforum
dot
N
E
T
(without spaces, the new site owner is running script that changes that extension back to .com) and prevents staring new threads or PMs
Thanks

[mention]mickey[/mention] I guess I missed that whole show and dance with harp, I saw him in one of the threads and was wondering. That's a damn shame though.

In fairness, Tony had an avalanche of crap hit all at once while he was trying to do a re-finish/rebuild for a member. His health went south in a serious way, his marriage failed and all this put him on the economic skids. He is a very proud guy and did not want to fail at the luthier task and he did not handle the situation well. I still have some of his P90 pups in a guitar and they are fantastic. He never represented to me that he custom wound them or had anything to do with actually manufacturing them. I understood he had a company make them with his input on what was in them. Sort of like Kurt does with guitars. Sort of like Sears did with Kenmore. All that said when it got ugly, it got ugly and the claws came out. I would like to see him back on the board but it will probably never happen. I do know things got better for him after some time and I was glad for him. And yes his mother was a historically famous American as someone said. Viola Liuzzo was her name and it's easy to find the info on the innerweb. It's worth a gander.

@tlarson58 arrived while no one was looking.
I see, as well as a couple new members whose names I don't recall seeing before...

Brad here. I've lurked since Day 1. I don't post nearly as much as before since I have no Agiles and usually play bass or maul keyboards instead of guitar nowadays.
This is a good group of people and while I hate seeing the old site get betrayed the way it did it has been a blast watching it totally blow up in the mofo's faces.
bombtek and Dmitri are not here. Anybody still not banned at the old site has an old PM with any of them? You can still write there, in already opened PMs. Of course, you have to be not obvious with the .net reference.
Bombtek was there today, Dmitri was there before last time the happening, so he may not know anything about it.
I´m banned there, so I can´t do it anymore.
By the way, I´ve just contacted someone in facebook who *might* be dearlpitts. Waiting for a response, but he already said in a post that he doesn´t look FB that much. We´ll see.

Wasn't there an emergency backup AGF on FB? I may not be remembering right if so maybe he checked that out. And it looks lik Hbowner used to be on the harley benton facebook group. Dunno if he still posts.

I tried to hint to someone at the old site to look around for a new forum and now I'm banned too. I wanted to dig out more of my content but much harder now. I can still read from another PC where I've never logged in.

Tere are so few messages at .com they are checking thoroughly. I hinted to someone about a new site and now banned.

My daddy used to say: "Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while."
Perhaps that is how he found us?
I never posted anything over there and I've apparently now been banned too. Someone is probably over here reading through our posts. I can still access the MOMO site with my AGF credentials though...
