May not be a mojority opinion but that does nothing for me! If I had a vector it would definitely be Korina. ArnieZ

Happy Birthday Guys! ArnieZ

Bill, Sorry for your loss, you're not alone in the feelings that accompany these watershed life events. ArnieZ

They just keep getting better and better!! ArnieZ

Glad you're back together! Nothing is going to change your ex...consider it a lifelong reminder when dealing with her ; esp regarding your child! ArnieZ

+2 it never fails to grab my attention and... I even recognize it! ArnieZ

First off, I will really miss the open house this year, which I had planned on attending. Having said that I gotta say Hamer owes me nothing! I love their guitars and appreciate all the opportunities I have had to get more personally familiar with the folks that run the company. I don't think they owe us an explanation for not having an open house event this year. Only Hamer knows the reasons behind their decsion and they have no obligation to share them. They provided a rationale for their decision which you can choose to believe or not. All else is purely speculation..... ArnieZ

Cajun, I gotta feeling there's gonna be a happy ending to this one, but I'll be keeping you in my thoughts until you're back safely together. Hang in there, I feel for you! ArnieZ

Belgian, Really beautiful guitar.. As many have said my GAS for a Monaco3 is closing in on explosive I don't know how much longer I can hold out! ArnieZ

This was my first Petty concert and it was a great show. I liked the Black Crows as well,but I gotta say Robinson is not the greatest front man. I guess I just don't love his dancing Missed Kate Hudson, who I'm sure I would have gotten a kick out of seeing. Petty and Campbell were pulling out one nice guitar after another. Many companies represented, but not Hamer. Last, but not least, Always great to see Steve and Chris, enjoyed our little chat and the chance to say hey. You guys got a couple of really cute kids!! ArnieZ

TA Get well soon and stop attacking cars with your bike be careful out there! ArnieZ

Happy Passover all, I think I've had my fill of matzah already ArnieZ

FWIW I would think you have to use different settings to get the most out of both. Lace Sensor single coils have a much different tone than HB's. I personally did not care for the the Blue Angel 4x10 I tried with humbuckers. ArnieZ

Roli, Welcome, good to have you on board ArnieZ

Lou, I had the pleasure of seeing that guitar when I was at the factory last Friday. It is really gorgeous with some sex appeal to boot. Enjoy it!! ArnieZ

apparently I am ArnieZ

well I was not being counted before and now? ArnieZ

Steve, The guy who sold the guitar didn't care if the body was a 1 piece or 3, he felt the neck width at the nut was too thin for him. Before checking out the guitar in person I asked him if by chance it was a 1 piece body. He looked at it and thought it was. He bought the guitar because of the vibe factor and fell in love with the look of the tort guard on the korina. ArnieZ

Hoping for the best possible outcomes for Marty's dad and Steve's wife. There is no way to go through these things unchanged and unaffected, sometimes the surprises are both unexpected and positive. Keep your chins up and plow ahead. My thoughts and prayers for you both. ArnieZ

Teleman, I was out and about watching some live music and I happened to be wearing an HFC shirt. One of the guitarists noticed the shirt and offered me the guitar. I saw him again a few months later and we struck a deal! Floyden, The previous owner thought it was a one piece, but just didn't realize how well Hamer joins these bodies. ArnieZ

Couldn't resist taking this home for a test drive. Time will tell if it becomes a permanent addition. So far great player with one of the prettiest fingerboards I've seen in a while. Haven't really had a chance to open an amp up with it, and I think that's what this guitar is all about! If this doesn't capture my heart HFC'ers can have first crack at it. ArnieZ
