RedRowan Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Hi, First post! Thought I'd share some pics of Alex playing the Supermarket in Toronto a few nights ago. RR Edit, I should add that this was for a CD release party for Karem Malicki-Sanchez. Alex produced and played on his CD! http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/redcirclestar/Alex1_zpsb779bdc2.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/redcirclestar/Alex2_zpse222303a.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/redcirclestar/AlexattheSupermarket_zpsaa0993b7.jpg Edited August 16, 2014 by RedRowan 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He nicknamed them Hentor Sportscasters and has that name on the headstock. From what I remember he's got several. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then in pic three the squeezing out a square turd facial expression, the skinny jeans and then the Converse....in that order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush-O-Matic Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) It's funny when the first thing you look at is the guitar. The Sportscaster was the first thing I noticed (then the fact that he had no shoelaces)I thought it was a Stratocaster. :) Originally it was. He added a different tremolo bridge, pickups and jack. He nicknamed them Hentor Sportscasters and has that name on the headstock. From what I remember he's got several. The "Hentor" is wired different, too. (It's the same jack, just flipped upside down - instead of the 1/4" plug recessing, it sticks out.) Below is a pciture of a regular HSS Strat, and you can see the toggle switch is in a different location on Alex's custom one. (Performs different function, too - and I think the Hentor just has one master tone and volume knobs.) Alex had this one, a black one and a red one. He plays the red one in the Distant Early Warning official video.) http://www.reidys.com/images/products.large/fenderamericandeluxestrat-hss-rwolympicpearl.jpg Edited September 2, 2014 by Rush-O-Matic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush-O-Matic Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I think it's awesome that Alex was playing the Hentor recently, since he also used it on the John Wesley album work he did . . . maybe on into the studio for the next Rush album and get back some of that 80s mojo. FYI, here's the thread that Freddy was active in, promoting his custom built Hentors, using Alex's for the guide.http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/75001-alexs-hentor-sportscaster/page__st__120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush-O-Matic Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm not sure where else at TRF this was posted, but I thought it was worth adding it here in this thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U8xy9L59ww#t=655 wasn't really very interesting to me until around the 7 1/2 minute mark.

I don't know or can't remember if it was mentioned: is that one of his original Hentors (red, black & this one) and did Freddie rehab it? Or, was this a new one that Freddie or somebody made for him?
