I am blessed she spends nothing, or nearly nothing. Does she have a sister?

Shawn - she was smiling because she knows that's a few dozen more shoes/purses she's gonna buy!

Andrew - you can still spec out a 40th Anniversary any way you like it, but it will be a true "air guitar".

He's a monster. Indeed.

Ted - you'd have to add Californians too. It seems that just as many people want those as want the original Standards/Sunbursts...they were just born 10-15 years later!

Sue's bass = coolest inlays ever

Bring back the mid-'80s "Hamer Rocks Hard!" campaign, checkerboard straps, and outbid FMIC to bring the Hamer shop guys back on board. It wouldn't be Hamer as we know it without them.

Agreed that we knew the day was likely coming, but this is still a HUGE let down. Glad I got some custom orders in over the years, and hopefully we'll see the flag fly again. Until then, play 'em if ya got 'em, kids!

...and a Korina Standard?

I have an Ash body Daytona that is just around 6lbs, if not a hair under. Wood varies greatly, just like people!

I snapped this one at the factory last month...

I think somebody should order an SS-1 with a sharkfin pick inlay.

I saw that one last month up at the factory getting ready for some final tweaks. Definitely didn't want to spoil the unveiling, but that one is at least 10x cooler than pics show in person. I think Andre will be a very happy shark...

WAY cool.

Jaye = the Pusherman

$1,500 is where I'd expect that bass to be priced. If it came with two others.

How about trying a regular Phantom pickguard, but in clear, and "ghost finish" the area under the tenon to blend with the Zulu pattern? Best of all worlds!

Holy crap, that's cool.

Everybody wants what they can't have...

Same here. Not sure why, since I've always "identified" as a LP/Humbucker guy my entire life. I really like the extra snap and clean tones of a Strat/Daytona over pretty much everything else. Still don't like regular ol' Strat bridge pickups though...they squeal like an angry pig to me.

I love that one!!

Well... Mine is. Oh Dave, that is so cute that you think that!

Agree with Cary 100%. Music ISN'T a competition, but people make it that way, because everybody thinks their opinion is relevant. Just like religion and politics, but way more polite!

That gets said around here a lot!
