Chickenhead knobs on some Korina for a Win!  B)

Right? I'm a total sucker for a korina Vector, but the Futura is totally badass! And unobtainium. Then you get to the Artist... The grain is insane!

Great collection shankyboy! Definitely one to be proud of.

And good to see you around here again. Seems like it's been a while. Congrats. 

Thanks. Yeah, it has been quite a while. For some reason, I drifted away from playing my Hamers for a while and spent more time gigging with my G&Ls. Probably because I never had much luck getting my tone with Humbuckers. Lately, I have found myself gravitating to a fuller sound and the Humbuckers are working for me.

Cool collection.  It kind of looks like you had an open spot and bought the Futura because it fit the best.  :lol:

Interesting story on the Futura.The Vector was my first Hamer purchase. I had a Wayne's World moment when I saw the Vector because I am such an Albert King fanatic. Didn't matter who made it, I was finally going to own a Korina V. A year later, Hamer contacted the store that I purchased the Vector from and asked if I would be interested in getting the Futura to go with my Vector. I said only if I could have the same serial number. Both are #022 in their respective series. I had hoped that I could get the same serial number for the Artist but no such luck. I ended up with #005. Cool thing about the Artist is that it didn't cost me a dime. I was doing some work for the store at their new location and I got the guitar in trade for the work that I did.

So you're saying that your time is worthless?

Ha. You have a point. I guess the correct phrase would have been that no money came out of my pocket. 

Cool story on both accounts.  I have a Korina Artist I just got about a year ago.  It was not free, but definitely worth the money.

Your collection is just right. I'm with you on the Tally, Newport, and a couple more Standards for the Zandard. B)
