That top is mental. Oof.

Get your own material! 😇

Bull Shit, you need a Standard in the closet of that rollin' RV studio. What else are you gonna do out there in the woods?

^^^100%. Goes right along with them damn kids listening to everything on shitty phone speakers instead of a good and proper stereo. No wonder they like the shit that passes for music nowadays - they've never heard GOOD music done right.

It's not even OCD. Only a deranged maniac would list all of that in paragraph form.

My brother's band just released their latest music video, and I thought you guys might enjoy. No Hamer content here, but my bro plays a pretty tasty solo on this one. ...However, there IS some Hamer content in the acoustic version they did of the first single "Goin' Crazy;" the bass player is playing my brother's fretless cruisebass (i think?)

https://reverb.com/item/96935562-hamer-studio-archtop-don-t-wanna-hear-about-it-1993 Hamer Studio Archtop. Don’t wanna hear about it. 1993 How’s that? You suffer from déjà vu and amnesia? You’re sorry? Save it. You couldn’t resist, could you? It was the early 2000s—you with your unnecessarily large diamond earring and that emo haircut, looking like John Rzeznik from the Goo Goo Dolls. This is when you carelessly traded me for a red 1964 Res-O-Glass Airline, and in return, you ponied up the $400.00 boot. Why? Well, because a seven-nation army couldn’t hold you back. Life indeed is the sum of our choices. Where is the Airline now? Speak up. I thought so. And how’s that, Jack? “And I’m talkin’ to myself at night because I can’t forget. Back and forth through my mind, behind a cigarette.” Yes, you’re talking to yourself, alright, and meanwhile I was sitting on the rack at Sam’s Discount Guitars & Record Emporium. Sometimes wanting is better than having—a lesson you still bear to this day. OK, OK, stop sniffling. Here I am again, and so is your chance to make things whole with the universe. Besides, what did you ever see in that other guitar? Please. As for me? Do you recall the richness of my Honduras mahogany body, with sustain for days? How about these impressive Maricella Juarez wound Duncan 59, P.A.F. and JB that throw fire in the face of the unsuspecting? Remember this two-piece flamed top bound in ivory trim? Nice, right? How about my precision tuning, brought to you by Schaller? Frets? Just as you left me. Truss rod? Functions as intended. Original case? No doubt. Setup? As usual. Condition? Stunning. In closing, sometimes wanting is better than having—and sometimes not. Stop feeling like the damned looking at paradise. It’s right here. Just remember: you can’t go back and make a brand-new start, but you can start from now and make a brand-new ending. What’s the alternative? Oh, I know. “Don’t wanna hear about it. Every single one’s got a story to tell. Everyone knows about it, From the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell.” Save it for the football game already.

Reminds me of an old girlfriend: bluMe Pro

I laugh in your general direction.

If using LDAC or aptX, it can be good. I use Bluetooth to drive my speakers in my home office from the studio. Works well enough, and i didn't have to run any cables. : )

It's funny and entertaining, but not sure I would buy as I always question the seller's mental stability 🤔

It only takes a couple of sentences to determine it's a listing from Grinning Elk.

I've got a 12 string / 6 string doubleneck from Emerald Guitars in Ireland (also carbon fiber made). I NEVER have to tune it. That's awesome in and of itself, but it also sounds GREAT recorded.

He added it in the 70s, and although a rare guitar, it wasn't worth nearly as much "$3-5K" as it is now... and he played the hell out of it "as a tool" not a collectors piece

Someone really likes Blitzes...

Hi folks! It's been years since I posted anything here but I figured you could like this: https://cartervintage.com/shop/hamer-rick-nielsen-signature-futura-limited-edition-1998-vintage-korina/3CipqlZk0MWW02PJU1T1Je1kmUL Price is 5000 Dollars, I don't know if it's a good price (would be in Europe, I guess ; )

I have some great sounding bluetooth DAC inputs. My AirPods Pro 3 sound amazing. Bluetooth has definitely made strides in quality. It was more for convenience but the quality is definitely there if you go with the better equipment.

Educate yourself knucklehead... at least read the reviews...

Update from nearly one year ago. I am still working on playing more than my Tele on gigs. A bit tough since I've have a variety of sounds dialed in. Played the Les Paul the last set last weekend, always fun. Last night, played the Studio Custom the last set which is the first time out since RS Guitarworks worked on the frets/setup and adjusted the pickups. Wow, it really screamed! The lead tones on La Grange were inspiring. I had to turn down a couple of gains since the pickups are hotter than than the Tele - another challenge to swapping guitars but that can be managed with a little work. In addition to the crew at RS, props to @JGravelin for the pickups in the Hamer and Les Paul.

I don't agree... I used to think that way, but technology advancements have made wireless Bluetooth/Streaming really REALLY good 👍

My top 3 were McPherson, Rainsong and Emerald. Rainsong got the nod when it came to cost vs use - it didn't make a lot of sense to spend big on something that gets picked up maybe once a week. And from what I'd read (and YouTubed), the Rainsong has the more piano-like sound (as opposed to traditional wood acoustic sound) of the bunch. That's not a knock on Emerald or McPherson - they both sound fantastic, just in a different way. If I had the $$$$ ...... We'll see. I'm curious and stoked to get it in my grubby little mitts (Tuesday, hopefully). I needed a jumpstart. I hope this helps.

The Charlotte bridge is zebra and reads 12.78K. Tapped four conductor. The Ultimate Charlotte Set is double cremes with the neck reading 12.82K and the bridge reading 12.72K. Single conductor. Pickups are mint (never used) Thanks.

Those are all awesome, and that sonic blue looking Blitz is over the top perfect!

I ended up with swinsian, but that was to run on a mac mini. For android, you can try foobar2000, but if i recall, the interface is a bit, er, "challenging". Poweramp might be an option, but i haven't tried it. And honestly, I haven't used android for music, so I'm no expert. There are FiiO dedicated music players, which are android based, but now you're talking money again. Those ain't cheap. And really not the point. You want to use your phone...

Good to know. I knew one of them dudes used a Destroyer. Turns out it was Medlocke. My bad.

It has more to do with the length of the cable than anything. My bandmate Steve was a firm believer that a coiled cable sounded better than the same length straight cable. Then, Eric Johnson made it so. Frankly, the treble and presence controls on the amp mitigate the need for a coiled cable. JMHO. I do, however, have a coiled cable in my gig case, if my wireless units fail. It's more of a trip precaution than anything...

It will be the first of the week before I get over to my storage. I have a gig tomorrow and Mother's Day on Sunday. I'll let you know. DR

That's a hot solo. Your bro is hot too sportin' that PJK look. Tell him he needs a grease monkey shirt with the sleeves ripped off. For the win.

As bad as I sound on a conventionally-fretted guitar, I can only imagine the levels of suck I could accomplish with that! I do love the micro-tonal stuff though. Anyone a fan of Pat Matheny's "Secret Story?"

For all us OCD f***ers who can't comprehend it unless it's in list form: Rolph PAF set "underwound" for $350. Two really nice aged nickel covers for $45.

Gibson Rhythm and Lead Pro pickups for $250. Boss Volume Pedal (the industry standard) for $50. Gravelin "Ultimate Charlotte" set for $350.

Gibson Sonex 180 pickups known as "Velvet Bricks" by Bill Lawrence for $350. Thorn Staple P-90 set for $350. Ron doesn't sell these anymore. Stewart MacDonald Golden Age 5400-Z/5401-Z set for $100 (highly underrated PAFs). Gibson Pat# from the mid-sixties (re-wind required)) for $150. Generic humbucker for $30???
