  1. Have imac that I bought about may be 8 or so years ago and pretty much never used. Turned it on may be 20-25 times to store some pics. Was thinking about may be selling it. I use it mostly to keep my floyd arms near by, as it has magnets on a side of a screen. Pretty pricey gadget for a floyd rose arm holder 🤣
  2. Oh, here's another good one - Pickguard/covers (are white, only turned to black side) . How exactly do you turn that pickguard to the white side?
  3. As cool as it might be, but $3.3K ( after taxes and all) for a cracked headstock...you have to be really into that kind of thing. And I'm pretty much 100% sure it was a good crack, may be not broken off completely, but most likely cracked opened and then re-glued. And the reason I think that...first, it's a very questionable spot and there is only one picture, that's red flag right away. And second, crack on the left, crack on the right and in the middle. If it was only on one side, ok, I could swallow that, but this...no way. And really nice try - " paint cracks, as is where is" , yeah... right... gtfo. Of course, I might be wrong, but even with personal pickup I'd be very skeptical
  4. As a word of advise to our out of States friends, if it's possible at all, do not use UPS, Fedex, DHL and such. Only USPS, preferably Express ( EMS), as USPS will be the only carrier who will not charge you anything ( given that forms are filled out correctly). All the others will charge you something, even if the guitar is made in USA, in most cases that's processing fee. Therefore, although it's tax free, you will be charged for so called paperwork, which is that same processing fee. That is my experience getting guitars from Canada by Fedex and UPS. The charge, if I remember correctly, was somewhere $60-$80...it's been a while, can't remember exact number.
  5. Hm...is that something new? I bought pretty much from every guitar playing country and never provided any tax id number...Now, just out of curiosity I want to do it.
  6. Interesting info, but I always prefer personal experience "3 inches MINIMUM" ...hm...Jackson Phil Collen PC1 , loving it ( not mine on the pic, I have Natural), 24 frets, distance to next pickup ...I'd say way under 3in, more like <2in, and this next pu, although not bridge, is quite powerful stacked humb with full humb right next to it and all under 3in probably, that's a lot of magnetic field :)). And works like a charm. But then again, they say "we need 3in minimum", may be it's just "them", and others could safely use PC1 without any interference
  7. Was gonna put a posting here. This would be mine. Regarding sustainer, as I stated in the description, that's what previous owner told me. May be somebody ordered it and later in the process asked the dealer to add sustainer, may be he was a dickhead and just added it. At this point it's unknown, just like scalloped fingerboard on a Cali...factory or not...go figure, I personally never seen one, and I've seen pretty much all of them, and I actually had Calis with sustainer before, unfortunately back then there was no cameras in our phones . So all we do , just pass the story of the guitar from previous owner. I've had if for around 20 years and only recently decided to actually get the sustainer. And, btw, not all of them run on 2 batteries, so sometimes there's no need to have an additional compartment. Oops. My bad, really forgot to mention, but there will be no problem to swap it for metal, as I still have quite a few Calis. If we consider that there was sustainer, how can it be original? So, YES, it's not original. Did Hamer install PA, be they branded or un-branded, of course they did. So the neck pickup was installed instead of transducer, which automatically means that it's NOT original. Surprises in the cavity? Well.. there's volume pot, two toggles and 3pos switch. Not sure which part could be surprising I think we already had this argument, as I mentioned before, I had quite a few guitars with sustainers, including Cali, most of them factory, some with aftermarket, and can with absolute certainty report that it works just fine. So may be some things on the websites need some fresh look. In one famous book it advised that pole pieces on LP ( those slots for screwdriver) should be under 45 degree - that I think what royal fuck up would be if one would follow it :)) Any other questions - do not hesitate to ask. For members here the discounted price would be $3500.
