Brent singlehandedly quintupled the value of the formerly near-worthless Norlin Silverburst LP Customs. Those, and the BH Sig. models are gonna skyrocket now...

I bought my tickets for the September 10th pre-release showing. I've been a fan since seeing "This is..." in the theater when I was in high school. I've even had the privilege of seeing them live twice, which was every bit as good as the movie itself, if not better. Looking forward to this one...

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this (again). It was really stressful for a friend of mine who went through something similar a year or so ago.

He sent me an unhinged rant threatening me with "severe legal action" and named a lawyer or two "who never loses a case" because of a comment I made somewhere (clearly nothing actionable, and also 100% truthful, and honestly, not really negative), and told me I needed to delete all mention of him anywhere. I did nothing of the sort and just blocked him, because there's a lot of sand somewhere I'm sure he needs to pound. That kind of bullying might frighten somebody who isn't familiar with how defamation law works, but that's not me.

Nice!!!!

Too obvious.

It's original.

My first Hamer was an '81 Special in Ferrari Red. If it had a bigger neck, I might still own it!

These are a few I wouldn't mind having back now: But THE one that got away? This, from a pic I snapped at the DC Guitar Show in 1990 when I tried to buy it, but I got snaked. I had watched Sam pull this one out and put it on the coveted counter display stand at his little shop on Burke St. half a decade earlier, and always lusted after it. Ah well...

This one is dreamy... https://a.co/d/fzn0tVW

That's awesome! More pics are always cool. Starting your next build soon? 😉 Some of my favorite guitars/basses are built from parts. Just got a super cool one in from Stike in time for a gig last weekend, and it rawked:

Too obvious.

Dave at fretsonthenet will make you a perfect one.

One was completed/finished: Mahogany body, Flametop, the works. Based on a recent R9, and I believe it was given to Frank Rindone. Another one was also started in Korina, and was not completed. It's circled in the New Hartford shop photo of the forms/templates, and marked "LP".

Your name was better.

Badassed!! I might order one in blue paisley... 😉

Ew.

It's not signed by Rick. That's a stamped/inked pickguard.

What, THIS ugly old thing?

It also has the ski boot headstock and 3 screw truss rod cover.

100% Chinese. It's the regular XT Standard model from the mid-2000s.

Lame. Those guys know dick about Hamers. Zero interest here.

Fucking joke.
