  1. That's a great deal. The ad says it's fakimba, though. I don't recall there being any korina/fakimba Avalon Sports.
  2. Frets OVER the binding! The way it should be.
  3. That's very considerate, @jwhitcomb3 Ken Jones' passing years ago was that wakeup call for me. Also, around that time, my neighbor passed away, leaving a slew of classic cars for his wife to somehow sell off. He was a car dealer, so he never had them registered or insured. When he wanted to drive one, he just slapped his DEALER plates on them and he was good. Now, with no paperwork, no registration, not really any proof of ownership, she's left to "figure it out." What's worse is he had had a fatal cancer prognosis some TEN years earlier. Yet, he still left that mess for his wife to sort out. Kenny had a TON of guitars - a lot more than I did - but I couldn't picture my wife having to figure out what's this guitar worth? How do I sell it? On an on... Anyone who has had to empty out a house after a loved one passes knows the range of emotions - good and bad - that can surface during the whole process. I've been through it twice and no one is going to have to do it for me.
  4. That's a good theory. I'd have to know the serial number to know if it holds water.
  5. Every Daytona and T-51 that I've owned or played was a boat anchor. I never cared about guitar weight, so it never stopped me from owning about a dozen of them over the years. So yeah - 11.4 lbs is not unheard of. It's not even uncommon.
  6. A great guy would have included screws and springs - lol
  7. Everything reminds you of that photo.
  8. @BadgerDave? I don't know... That dude sounds sketchy.
  9. No way those are the original bridge saddles.
  10. Pickup pole piece spacing is bullshit. The guitar needs to first be playable in your hands. The pole pieces will pick up the string vibrations.
  11. Wow - that's a huge difference! I would bet that, aside from Hamer owners needing a replacement bridge for their twig-necked Special, the Mann bridge spacing is going to be what most people will want and need.
  12. @serial @cmatthes What does the great serial number database say about 11 0015?
  13. Again... Interesting serial number... From the Reverb ad: "This has to be one of the only, if the only Specials we've seen with the fretless option." ...and then... "Photo of Andy Summer in the case with a similar fretless Hamer." Huh??
