Yes - a check is enroute to me and it appears this guitar has been sold. Thanks for the inquiries on it. It's a very cool instrument. I'm glad it will be used to entertain... Dave

Yeah, these guitars are killer. I priced this to sell and with hopes that it will go to somebody who'll play the shit out of it. It's a great guitar. I have one prime buyer who'll either pull the trigger tomorrow morning or not and just mentioning that here because I've gotten lots of...

No trades. I'm going to spend the dough on fishing gear..haha. Yeah, this guitar is a peach. My wife is even sad I'm selling it. But, I've got a couple kids now so must budget my hobbies accordingly (something other than spending wildly).

Part of the issue here: the American dollar has been crushed. Different subject, I know. But, the dollar simply doesn't go as far as it did when we were kids. I really love my Hamers. When I show up at a gig or jam I'm the only guy there playing one. Everybody else is playing Gibsons or...

I think Brian's an amazing talent. Glad to hear he's going to be ok.

Yeah, we gigged pretty heavily for couple years and had a great time. We played rock clubs all over norcal and just had a lot of fun with it. That was the goal, really. I took a break to get my engineers license (had to study like a hermit for several months). Then, as we were about to start...

As expected, they have a pretty religious following out here in California. At many of our past gigs a roady or door man would start blabbing that his "uncle" was Y&Ts manager back in the day, or something like that. Everybody's uncle was, apparently. Pretty funny. A good friend of mine...

http://www.myspace.com/yandttributeband Here we are. No recordings yet. A few photos with Joey Alves jamming with us - which was cool. We're playing a gig in January and will continue to mangle Y&T tunes for a while after that. Challenging stuff to play be we have a blast with it. Note...

After a couple-year hiatus my band rehearsed yesterday. Last weekend I plugged into my half stack with my Hamer Studio Custom and dialed the amp in. Man, this rig sounds so damned good it gives me nice fuzzies all over. Turned down, it's rich, bell-like, amazing. Turned up for our hard rock...

Of all things, this project is a tribute to Y&T. Griffon's mom is a big-time Y&T fan, and fan of ours. This was just a fun project we put together to fill the niche for opening for touring rock bands (our age) who pass through town. Just a fun thing, really. It's been a blast. I got...

May actually go out and play live again after a lengthy break. When my son got his diagnosis a couple years ago it flipped my life upside down and I didn't gig again. But, he's made great progress. And, some of you may remember my thread several months ago about our young friend Griffon who...

Hehe..."adult jam"....

Hmmm. That sounds promising. I always like the 59. I modded one of my Studio Customs with an Evolution in the bridge and a SD Jazz in the neck. It's a mean machine.
