  1. In the early 90s I believe I was at a rest stop on the Palisades Parkway in NY using the restroom. As I finished using the urinal I noticed what looked like Kirk Douglas using the next urinal over. I wasn’t sure but outside there was a limo and some people trying to get an autograph from him when he came out. He had a book signing in NYC that night. My brush with fame and i didn’t even care.
  2. Two different neck carves that year. Vintage and the smaller “ regular” carve. FWIW. I have a 93 and researched here at some point. Original hot P90s weren’t my cup of tea. Installed Wolfetones.
  3. The Topanga supposedly was meant to sound like an old Fender reverb unit so if you want that vibe it’s cool. I use mine with a 5E3 Lil Dawg build. I like it a lot. Playing around the house I love a little reverb.
  4. That was a great read. That JBJ humbucker in the OP is evidently one of the older ones and very hard to come by and as per that article considered by some to be superior to the newer ones. If I had more time for tinkering I'd grab the set just for that pickup.
  5. supposedly fits Tele/Strat https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid?source=3TPBA1BD&dtm_em=e76667697b64424922ee782a0b32a451
  6. I believe there were two neck carves in 93 one being Vintage which is a little fuller. My 93 Special is Vintage and isn’t too thin. I have measurements somewhere if any wants them. I installed Wolfetone Mean and Meaner in mine.. one is RWRP so hum cancelling in the middle position. Now if it were only that nice TV Yellow. I don’t mind my odd sunburst though and it was only $650 from a bass player here many years ago. My first Hamer. You guys were kind when I called it a Hammer. $1,495 May be the highest priced pP90 Special I have seen but that one is sweet.
  7. It’s beautiful. So much guitar for the money. The neck shot showing the edge of the fretboard with the silver finish struck me. Looks like Madagascar maybe? I do have an obsession with Hamer fretboards though. Not without good cause.
  8. Hamer always got the nice wood. The fretboard reminds me of my lowly 93 Special.. dark brown. Someone should keep this in the club. Good luck to the OP.
  9. Nice of you to do that! Regarding Billy Penn, I can vouch for him too. I’m local to him, have used him mainly for tube amp repairs. I’m amazed by how after he works on one of my amps they seem to never have another issue. Probably just jinxed myself.
