Guitar bands at an all time low in the US
prototype-fan replied to gorch's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Years ago, I was in a supermarket in Iowa City where they were playing a Muzak version of Beth by Kiss. It was hilariously syrupy. -
FMIC Shuts down the New Hartford facility

Did a salesman assist you in that decision or did you pull the Taylor off the wall on your own and decide you liked it better? I ask because if it was the former, that's another aspect of retail marketing. Sales reps educating sales forces and offering incentives to push the product. I had a similar experience at Tobias Music in IL in the mid-90s. Walked in wanting to buy a Guild, but the owner suggested that I give Taylor a try. I've been a Taylor fan ever since. I loved the sound and feel of Taylor acoustics, and Taylor does a great job of making players feel like they're part of a broader community. -
Funny cheap Chinese guitar stuff
prototype-fan replied to polara's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
If you're a beginning looking for a starter guitar, I think that actually looks pretty cool for $137. Looks nicer than the POS Harmony that was the first guitar I ever owned. -
Reading through this thread kind of reminds me of that Simpson's episode where Homer's half-brother, Herb, asks Homer to come up with a car “designed for the average man”... The resulting product being “powerful like a gorilla, yet soft and yielding like a Nerf ball.”

Your Opinions Please

Based on this I'd avoid him. Every deal I've entered with so much back story has turned into a problem, whether it being shipping delays, overstated condition to flat out never shipping the item. His life is in turmoil and you are low on his list of issues to get to. I was thinking the same thing as I read it. Agreed. I would avoid it. -
The Artist Now Known as Dickhead

Exactly! I would be thrilled if Prince smashed one of my guitars. Would you be thrilled if he slept with your wife? -

The Bill Armitage on Jol's Blog is NOT me
prototype-fan replied to Armitage's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
+1 on that. They need help. Sad and pathetic. -
Ditto...

Um... a number of those bands have been around for a decade or two. Don't know if they would qualify as "new" anymore old man.

Sounds like it's found a good home. Besides we have to spread US culture around the world anyway we can...
