At this moment, I'm not only happy for the Hamers that I do have, but I am more thankful for this community!

Bravo!!

I was expecting to see Kiss....lol

not to hijack op, but, I love this picture. Me, too can't help it...

My List; The Gold top Korina Standard that I missed, the black Korina Standard that I passed on..( See a pattern here?) the Zandard I passed on. Korina JR.. Custom Artist

Wow....

I would go Seymour Duncan, Custom or a Pearly, not sure if a JB would fall into that category.. An Alnico Pro 2 is nice, also

Classic Charvel design, very cool. Will you be selling your Gold top Standard to help fund the purchase???

it was #0105 and I ended up with it in early '98, but I didn't get it from Outlaw. Some other place in NJ-got it for @$1250 in trade and some cash. Forget what I swapped for it-I think a RI Strat and $200. I've been in Outlaw (on Rt 22), many times since my wife's family lived in Pissthataway. Outlaw ended up moving shortly thereafter to Raritan, NJ as Mercenary Guitars, then onto their current home in Hoboken, NJ as Hoboken Vintage. I felt like a kid in a candy store...that Standard was the first time I saw one in the flesh..I was in awe and I visited the store as often as could, just to play it.

My best story was about a Standard that I never bought. In 1998, I visited Outlaw Guitars in Greenbrook, NJ for the first time, among guitars they had was an original Hamer Std Custom with a clear plastic pick guard screwed into the top, an old Dean Z, Dean ML and an Ibanez Destroyer in a "Korina" finish and a couple of 80's Jackson Soloists. About a month later, I bought an '87 Jackson Archtop Soloist there, which was my dream guitar for about 15 years. I wonder where that Standard went..IIRC, it was going for about $1,500

This must be an incredible guitar, I have a Korina STD and a '95 reissue Standard Custom, I'm sure they would get along great with each other.

This guitar keeps crying out: "I Want You to Want Me."

That is one spectacular guitar! PM sent.. Michael
