Sounds like shit!.. lots of people don't realize it's the way you attack your strings that make the difference... there is an art to chugging... considering the angle of the pick and the amount of pressure you apply with your palms, when to release, etc

I only suggested because of the Horseshoe crab inlay. Mark O'Shea. Anyway, I have too much time on my hands.

I'm starting with boutique and expensive stuff first. There's a few thing a friend wants to try like the Ethos Overdrive and TWE, Dumbloid, and that Goodsell, that I won't list until he tries. I've sold about $500 of pedals in the past few hours so it may be hard to get up to date. I thought they used BBCode formatting here. Apparently not.

A beauty, I will also sell mine.

I thought that's what you meant but someone mentioned 12 strings and so I questioned myself as I usually do. Any way, the Takamine Peak was a great guitar I had when it came out in 2013 for something like $745. I see they are selling on Reverb for double, or at least asking double. It has this cute little guy on a summit for the 12th marker. There is a more expensive model with larger clouds and possibly hand built or different woods. I can't remember the difference but I got this guy and really liked it.

I guess for clarification, I am looking for something mid to high end, depending on make/model. So I'm kinda all-in for solid woods and gloss finishes. In a perfect world it's something she treasures for a lifetime. In a not-so-perfect world, she can make enough selling it to pay for something she treasures for a lifetime. Great question, and maybe I didn't say it correctly. I mean 12-fret, which is a guitar with a neck that joins the body at the 12th fret. That eliminates a large swath outta the gate, but I'm of the mind that smaller bodies benefit from having the bridge moved back. Someone suggested Larrivee and if I could I would. I used to have a Larrivee P-01 which was fantastic and would be a perfect match if it were better appointed. Getting into something a little nicer with a gloss finish means the P-05 and even used examples break my budget. It was actually my P-01 that has me convinced a 12-fret is the way to go. Lots of Taylor suggestions but from what I've found Taylor only offers the 12-fret neck joint in their bigger-than-baby sized Grand Concert and I worry that's a little bigger body than would be comfortable for her (she's 17 and a short 5').

Does it have a stadium logo on the headstock?

Do they employ Bassets for their basses?

is there a website with the info? thanks

#2 was #1. So what does that make #1?

No - it would be a 1997. A 2007 serial would be 75xxxx.

just want to make sure .. thanks

Does it play like butter? *ducking*

I don't name guitars. I have so many, I'd forget their names.

NICE! Still showing at Reverb shop, but CME's site says #2 was somebody's #1 choice.

Reminds of seeing a show at, of all places, a theater in Beverly Hills long ago. The 3 featured players were Lonnie Mack (with that crazy V) , Roy Buchanan and Dickie Betts (sans Allmans). Buchanan came out with his Tele and had a Twin Reverb sitting on a folding metal chair. Pretty much did the same thing. Nothing fancy. Tele straight into the Twin. Set everything on max and started playing. In his fashion, screaming treble and feedback, much playing past the treble end of the fingerboard. That tone and volume just cut right through you! My wife and many others made a trip to the bathroom and came back with as much TP as they could...Shoved in their ears with the ends hanging out over their shoulders.

Cruise Bass #2 Hamer USA Cruise Bass Sunburst 1995 | Reverb Also with the earlier 2Tek and a reported 9lbs. 12oz. and OHSC.

Obviously, no affiliation (though I would love to work for CME!): Cruise Bass #1 Hamer USA Cruise Bass Sunburst | Reverb Has the earlier (i.e., larger) 2Tek but still weighs a reported and acceptable 9lbs. 9oz. Looks like an SKB hard case.

In '83 I saw the Ramones at Boston College. Somehow, our group managed to get right up against the stage - my left hip pressed against the structure. I could almost touch Johnny's amps with my outstretched arm. Johnny's guitar tech came out, clicked on the Marshalls, picked up the Mosrite and dimed every control. He bashed out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 A chords, rolled the volume back down to zero and walked off to a round of applause. I spied the stranger to my left blowing her nose, so I bummed a tissue from her and shoved a wad of it in my left ear. Probably the smartest, most mature thing 17 year old me ever did.

No affiliation $2,700 plus shipping: 2002 Hamer USA Newport Pro — Jazzburst — 6 lbs 11 oz | Reverb

Those are the only pictures I have of it also.

How did I miss this???
