  1. Tilting at windmills I'm always trying To knock things down Or bring 'em around But they don't come down They won't come around Like society Or that girl that I used to see Now these are things that just don't change But I'm tilting at windmills All the same tilting at mindwank? please pass your poems foward it's a blade that cuts everything if you let it ( and I have )
  2. the answer to the question? why did you post at all? I'm not upset and don't really care, but why not just leave Buckethead unread, you know you hate him, you know you won't like it. I find myself not posting on tons of things that I find stupid or w/o feeling ( and who are you to judge anothers feeling ).
  3. Hudpucker, your avatar would know exactly what to say, you just keep that strat damn you!
  4. TCM McInturff Sportster T is my #1
  5. I have a virtual P[90 neck and DLX bridge in a McInturff, sounds freakin killer
  6. welcome, cool guitars!
  7. thanks man! Turd, you must use another OD after it like Jeff R said unless you are going for low fi skank , a RAT II goes after mine. I bought mine from a country player He said he turned it one once and the rest of em stopped and made him unhook it right then and there! He also thought it was broken, it's a duplicate of an old effect and is faithful down to the almost useless ( yet insanly cool ) sound. you should here it w/ a gremanium boost, 1967 baby
  8. I love mine, it's a voodoo lad procatvia, you have to "play" the effect. heres a track featuring the proctavia http://www.bigblockdodge.com/Allblues.mp3
  9. go get em baby ( try for a Deluxe reverb instead )
  10. damnation thats sweet!
  11. hmmm, it went back to have the truss rod reset, I mad mention of the finish flaws but they were just ignored, I did'nt raise a big stink as I got it under an endorsement deal ( a limited thing called a keyman deal ) the whole thing was a dual edge sword for me, and to be fair to Poe, I did answer one of his emails and state that I did not like the military connection, he caught me in mid rant mode LOL. One interesting fact I found in my investigations about the helicopter/Ovation connection, spruce is the only thing that they could use for copter blades until they developed the "bowl" material, even aluminum degrades at the tip of a rotating copter blade, so at least I chose the right wood
  12. I can see how this would make Kim uncomfortable, but the dead spots persist on a few guitars. I have the good fortune to play the Phoenix collection on a weekly basis, they are perfect or as close to it as possible, but my personal guitar (2003) has several finish flaws that really get under my skin , white under the clearcoat on the bass of the neck joint, exactly where you see it everytime you have it in playing position ( fantastic! ) and the tort binding came w/ some Hameritis and is developing more ( ongoing I suppose ) and now the binding is sinking on the headstock , a crease has developed that runs halfway up ( the worst look possible w/ this problem, all or nothing please ). I guess I should have posted this and not let wild rumors start but who really cares. I stopped using Hamer for a period cause this just pissed me off so bad and combined w/ the stress of being a mod for this board at a very stressfull time just pushed me over the edge. I have since just beat the shit out of this guitar and no longer consider it a problem, but trust me when I tell you that problem happen w/ every company. This was my first new guitar in 15 years ( don't cry for me, I buy used very effeciently ) and now I remember why I don't do that LOL , so there's my big story revealed
  13. how about a volume pedal in the FX loop, they even make one w/ a minmum setting , back is normal up is lead. this is a common problem and one reason I almost always use pedals ( live )
  14. get the glue, thats a bad ride!
  15. uh, yeah, the wood is cracked
  16. I do think that the home page should just delete the Butthead pic and come up w/ something expressedly Hamer, I own and use other guitars as well as my Hamers but I don't think they need to be on the HFC homepage.
  17. I like it belly high, it seems to be a good compromise between chest and johnson
  18. Ted's cocky now, do some reasearch as to his actions when there were young men his age at war , those Byrdlands are 23" scale BTW , Ted can play blues rock guitar like a house on fire
  19. I read this somewhere and I knew it would come in handy "RAM IT NEWBIES"!!!!!!!!!!
  20. wow, thanks for that tidbit, unprofessional bordering on illegal IMO
  21. there's not much on the old USA series out there. I know that Tom Anderson can answer some question about em. I've got one that Anderson says the neck was made in Japan, but fretted and finshed here. I will say the old ones are freakin great, everyone I know who has ones raves and will never consider selling, really nice vintage feeling stuff
  22. I don't get it. This guitar is beautiful.
  23. it's not a care/storage issue, I'm seeing it get worse in front of my eyes, oh well
  24. I have Hameritis on a CT Hamer. I have white under the clearcoat of a CT Hamer
