Closest I ever got to a real quality Charvel is the two Mighty Mite body Star and Explorer guitars along with my Japanese import M1. I enjoyed the small series of emails with Wayne about my Mighty Mites. Rest well Mr. Guitar Maker. 😎👍❤️🏁

Actually I loved her response to the mugging. 🤩😄😈

That man made a lot of music happen. “… 1971 we all heard the starter’s gun, New York was such a pity, but at Max’s Kansas City we won, we all shot the shit at the bar with Johnny O’Toole and his scar and then old Clive Davis said boys I’m gonna make you a star….” 💔❤️‍🩹❤️

New Guitar Day 2016 Allen Eden Mescalero.

It was SOOO packed on Saturday. I made it through about 3/4 of the place. Missed Shark, but were you the guy in the Hamer Special Tshirt? I missed a bunch of the middle aisle especially after Zorrow showed up and I bought a guitar. Lunch called after that and then it was time to go back home to St. Pete. Here’s a lil sparkly thing that followed me home. 😄😈🤡 Allen Eden

Speaking of Sparkling and the Sarasota Guitar show, this Allen Eden Explorer clone came home with me. 😎👍❤️🏁

Iirc that was The Shark’s booth. Which I completely missed. 😵‍💫

About two months ago, I was over at Dean headquarters in Tampa, and they were building guitars and they were working on import guitars to ship out. They didn’t say anything to me. I didn’t ask anything about this. I don’t know any details of any of this. I can say, though I’ve talked to two people who work there, and they told me that they are still building painting, cutting and putting guitars out, so there are USA‘s being built, and there are some imports coming in, going out. The parent company does have debt and they have assets that are not equal to the debt. I was surprised to see a marine audio company renting out the majority of their factory warehouse space. They are definitely having issues, but I think they’re gonna be able to come out of this in some shape or form. I have had a great experience working with them for 25 years almost and always been cool to work with. 😎👍❤️🏁

Correct.

Best part was hanging out with Ionel a fellow HFC member saw a guy in a Hamer Special T-shirt but never was able to talk to him or meet up with @theshark

Might have one but still looking. I knew it was a next to not happening thing but nothing ventured, nothing gained. 😎👍❤️🏁

Nice but missing a piece.

I need one with all the hardware. New owner of my Blitz wants to make it original. 😎👍❤️🏁

Well Clay will not be at the show. Already sold. 😄😎👍❤️🏁

Clay 1984 Blitz 😎👍❤️🏁

That’s the Saturday. I’m going to go to this more as a lookie loo. I will have Clay for sale at friend’s booth. So who will be there Saturday also? 😎👍❤️🏁

I would view selling something here as being either a quick sale or trade kind of deal. My guitar will be for sale at a friend’s booth so I will not be carrying it in. Lugging gear at one of these would not be my choice of fun.

Rest well Hamer brother. 💔❤️‍🩹❤️

I saw that and I thought it was pretty cool. He got to play the real thing and Daxx right there. 😄

That one actually looks more correct than mine. Mine does not have the black checkerboard or the black on the back of the head stocks, but it’s fun and it was free. I’ll take it and yeah, I absolutely agree with everyone about the counterfeit stuff. It is a little tough to look at that head stock with the USA after the Hamer logo. Anyone buying one of these and thinking it’s a real Hamer USA in the aftermarket has not been paying attention to the fact that the company is gone and the fact that they would never have made one of these for one of us. 😄😵‍💫☺️

A friend of mine is going to sell it at his booth. I want $1000 for it.
