Disturber

That price is the deal of the year for a 1978 Crowned and Bound Sunburst. Damn!!

I think Syl would have laughed out loud if he had seen that poster. 😆

It looks like he has a dead chicken hanging from the headstock. And he must be the worst singer in Rock N Roll history. Jeesch, talk about butchering All Along the Watchtower.

Sad to hear of his passing. He was a great contributor here and he shared a lot of his knowledge. RIP.

That's a legend. Acuff Rose Music had a very fine catalogue of songs.

That was the deal of the year. People who don't know Hamer often thinks that these are cheap import pickups. The 10K Slammer version is one of the best hot paf's Dimarzio ever made.

Great price too.

No one has said this was their most influential cover yet. That tells me you are a sane buch a lads after all.

I will pay him 500$ and then I will have Stike to a re-fin. If he does not accept my offer I will send in my mob connections.

What a day. First I found the Sylvain Sylvain and the Teardrops LP for 3 bucks. Then I took a cup of coffee and found this gem recorded for Swedish TV in 1982. Enjoy:

Look at the prices of old cameras — Nikons, Leicas, etc. People buy them, collect them, but don’t necessarily use them for photography anymore. I think electric guitars are moving in the same direction. Hamer is gone. These instruments come from a time when people went down to rehearsal or a gig with a six-pack of beer, lit a cigarette, plugged their 100-watt Marshall into the wall socket, cranked it to ten, gave the world a big FUCK YOU, and played power chords while the band went full nuclear behind them. Today, kids plug their tiny headless guitars into a computer, put on headphones, and record a one-minute YouTube clip covering Sweet Child O’ Mine just to get likes. Hamers aren’t made anymore. Just like ’50s cars, they represent an era. Look at the prices of ’70s and ’80s Japanese lawsuit guitars — same thing there. Prices have gone up a lot. A Greco EGF1800 Super Real now sells for over $10,000.

Damn! I've been Blitz'ed !!!!!

It's the new Facebook killer!

Mr @cmatthes made me aware of this post on Instagram. A Gibson Hamer Standard copy from The Music Zoo. Appart from that the price probably is one zillion dollars, what is your thoughts on this? https://www.instagram.com/p/DXzU6dPGYdI/?img_index=1

That SG looks cool. Congrats. I had a 1991 SG (good wood era) that sounded pretty good. But it felt flimsy, as described above. I sold it. Kinda regret it now. But I seldom played it as I had my Hamer Sunburst's that are so much better guitars than any SG I ever played. Best SG I had was a 1970's Ibanez with a bolt on neck and the old Ibanez logo. Someone had installed a third humbucker in it and painted it white. But that SG was very stable. Stable neck, not flimsy. And the guitar felt way more solid than the Gibson's I've played.

He gets some nice tones out of that Chap.

Really cool. Not ugly.

I saw both Marilyn Manson and NIN on a fastival in the summer of 2005. Apparently it was not easy for the promotor to have them both at the same festival, as Trent hated Manson. But they played different nights. NIN was the top of the bill. And I had tickets for the Nine Inch Nails concert scheduled for June 5, 1994, at Gino's in Stockholm, Sweden, during the Self Destruct Tour. I came up to the door and found out the show was cancelled. Trent had OD or something similar in Amsterdam. That is a show that still bums me to this day that I did not get to see.

The Nine Inch Noize gig looks epic on Youtube. Wish I could have seen it. I've seen NIN three, four times and evertime has been killer. I used to go to festivals every summer for over 15 years. Back then there was no smartphones. We lived in the moment. It was great when I was young and could kill a hangover with a new beer - and a three day binge was something you anticipated. These days one festival night would keep me in bed for three days after, recouping and rehydrating.

I really like this album.

I just feel love.

Yes, that album could have been as great as TNOTB.

It went down hill from there. The rhyme of the ancient mariner is 13,5 minutes of pure torment. And it's now even their longest song.

And it was probably not nitro. 😄😆

I think I had one but liked the BK Butler, Blue Tube version better. Both are long gone. Would love to try one now, when I know more about finding my tone.
