Always great to see pictures, especially of an Korina Artist!

Yup, that's a Wayne Charvel creation when he worked for Gibson

Did a double take on this Gibson for-sale in Facebook Market place. Yeah, its not exactly the same as a Chappie, but dang its close. Not in the market for FR guitars back then so had never seen this one before.

I could vacation in the Bahamas. But thats gone in a week. I've had some guitars for decades, and could sell them for more than I bought. Can't sell a 25 year old vacation.

I found my answer in the archive from 2021.it was actually about the guitar I just purchased.The Box did have my guitars serial number on it.Probably should have put this in ask the experts forum.

the right tire for the bus is a "load range D", but not the trailer ones. the sidewalls are stiff AF. thats all I got

Could have been a box for a Vanguard HB. Same size, basically same guitar except mahogany vs. korina, and the finish. Did the box have a serial number on it that matched yours?

Once again, I'm thinking it was an AI video that caught up on me. This time real video, real people, but it seems an AI text. I heard several things in the narration that made me think the guy was just a fucking retard but once again, garbage from AI. Thanks afor reminding me what the phrase was.

Looks pretty handy... https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid?source=3GOA5A9A&utm_medium=paid-social&utm_source=facebook&utm_creative=52529244433987&utm_id=52520138792587&utm_campaign=MF_GOA_FY26_0726_SDOTD_LF_Sales&utm_content=3GOA5A9A_MF_SDOTD_0727_XPND+Core+Pedal+Board+Two+Row+with+Backline+Core+2+Pedal+Board+Transporter_RT&fbclid=IwYW9zYgTUr_1leHRuA2FlbQEwAGFkaWQAAC_GaxCvE3NydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHmBvAlKG9_QLKzcWrfzUlmNyL5UqDIBc3q67TxTW5FykMvrFSE-PcZ2ed1Sy_aem_s0oHxYcf4jfwfmUzccYkOg&utm_term=52529244433387

Also this: you are eligible to bring the guitar back duty-free under the American Goods Returned (AGR) provision, but you must formally declare it and prove its U.S. origin to avoid potential fees. In other words, are you willing to go through all this mumbo jumbo?.. wait until all this nonsense ends?.. or wait till a comparable guitar shows up in the states? 🤷‍♂️

I bought a 2000 hamer korina artist but on the box model number was VAN HB.It shipped to me in a Hamer box with model # on it.

Again, it's AI. Garbage in and Brahmaputra out.

Sorry about that, having laptop issues! I added the info to my original entry so it should be easy to find. BTW, some people on the YooToob channel already made the observation that the featured Beatles 'song' sounds a lot like a Ringo song.

This popped up instead

If you think things are bad now. here's a dystopian version of 1965, thanks to some time villain messing with the timeline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v5=8KK8B5oqW=v4 For some reason I couldnt get it to imbed/load, but you can easily find it on YooToob, just look for 'What's happened to music' from the episode 'The Devil's Chord' on the Doctor Who YooToob channel. The reaction of The Doctor and his companion are priceless! Cilla Black and a classical orchestra aren't immune to the history being meddled with, either

Dayum, you still stuck in the '70s? 🤣

https://photos.app.goo.gl/yudAwVW2Su1QWxP67 https://youtu.be/4MEMOe14vD0 Check out this youtube video and photo link. 1988 Hamer Chaparral Elite 5 string with a Kahler Whammy. The person I bought this from on craigslist many years ago said this bass used to belong to Matt Sharp of the band Weezer, but he had no way to prove it. I didn't really care because I liked the bass. Upon getting home, I found Weezerpedia records that do in fact claim that Matt Sharp did play a stripped down Hamer "Chaparal" bass with whammy bar. That being said, there's no way to confirm. Just an interesting tidbit. The bass has been sitting in it's case for over 5 years. When I removed the cavity to put a battery in, I noticed some of the red wires from the EMGs have disconnected, and I'm not sure where they are suppose to go. So, I'm going to say you HAVE TO REPLACE ALL THE ELECTRONICS although I think a person just has to wire them back up correctly. The EMGs sounded great when they were connected and had EQ bands. Very nifty when playing live and recording. Everything is structurally sound, plays great, and has lots of life left. Just have to figure out the wiring or just replace the pickups. Needs two more control cavity screws that are bigger than original (two holes have been stripped out). Comes with the original hardshell Hamer case. $1550 SHIPPING INCLDUED via paypal. Can also meet in central WI area.

I compare how much I've spent on guitars (which has been surprisingly small given the return on the ones I've sold) and it is *far* less than a speedboat, a vintage muscle car, or even the car I'm currently driving would cost new. Hell, my buddy has spent more on his snowmobiles than I have in guitars. These are all fair things to spend money on. If you earn a living, you should have some say in what the "living" part means.

Same here.

I need them.

This is all very intriguing, but to the OP, I have frankly never heard "reminder of things to come". Maybe I'm too old or it's a regional thing. "A sign of things to come" is what I've heard. Or occasionally, "A reflection of things to come", but never a reminder.
