BTMN

WOW!!! Good day all around here today. Sweet!

Party On Fellas!!!

THUD!!!!!! Good Luck.

I think it was the photo below that might have prompted the towel joke. It wasn't Pam, HEHEHE I wanted to meet the Chick Neilsen gal, Robin is a cutie but taken. PLUS, a heluva guitar player. Cest la vie. Pam is a very cool person one of many I am happy to have met from this nuthouse called a messageboard. I hope to see them play someday soon. Maybe NAMM next year. Love the band just cause I love Cheap Trick's tunes so much and they are a unique take on that. Everytime I wear their band shirt I meet new people and or hear interesting comments. I made Joe Satriani laugh at an autograph signing back in April wearing it. Life IS Good.

"Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most." My favorite Steven Tyler quote. I went with getting fat. The hair thing is just a natural progression that will occur. If that is my journey, I'm ok with it. Someday I will get me one of them Joe Satriani cuts and wear great shades. I found a great pair of Red ones for that day. Life IS Good ladies and gentlemen and I aint gonna let a few creaking bones keep me to down. Where's the motrin?

Bye Bye Billy. We loved ya Brother....

Ok quit torturing me with Chucky!! I sold Rob that Sunburst after I just HAD To have the AK pictured above. (reaches for inflatable Hammer to whack forehead!!) He wont even reply to my pleas to sell it back!!!

Cool looking Standard. I wanna play Double Cream Standard Porn too!!!!

Hey Sitamoia50, I had a feeling you were getting a good deal. May I suggest a touch of Korina in this model for your next venture to Hamerland. It is the Hamer Artist Korina HB. Available in a killer P90 version too. Mine is a 2002 and some of the best money I have ever paid for a guitar. kanegon, WELCOME. Lucky? Maybe, but I bet it just needed a lil love and sounds like you delivered. Telling us how photogenic it is and not posting something to view is NOT a good way to start. Start us a thread and tell us about yourself and your Hamer.

"And your 79, BTMN ... I'm in love!.....(trade for an archtop GT?)" - Punkavenger Trade a friend I've had in my home for 23 years? Uh, no.

Oh MY!!!! I love this page. http://willcuttguitars.com/brandsubentries...did=30&subid=98 Edited cause: I CAN spell. Dagnab it!! Also to mention that YES!!!! I do love that page too. Oh YEAH!! I will have to be content (Quite BTW) with my 3 Standards. SOMEDAY Korina Standard, SOMEDAY!!! Wanted to add: The one on the left is a '77 Standard Custom, in the middle a '79 dot neck Standard, and on the right a '96 two piece bodied Dean USA Z in Korina. My third Standard is a '97 one piece Mahogany Standard not in the shot obviously.

As a true "Livingroom noodler", meaning without trained pristine ears, I can tell you there is some sound differance. Being it is a little brighter most of the time. I find it has great resonace too. MCC is right it can be loud. Unplugged the Korina is very loud for a solid body guitar and my Artist is sweet sounding unplugged. As a natural finish lover, I also like the look of Korina with clear on it a TON. Hamer picks great looking wood no matter the flavor. Anyone you know have a Korina guitar? If you were in Tampa Bay area you would be more than welcome to try mine. Dont have a Hamer Standard but I have a couple Korina guitars including a, '01 Artist Korina HB. Nice mellow sounding guitar with 2 SD '59s in it. It will crank up nice with some high gain on it and I find I set my Brian May Vox a lil midrangey high setting on the tone knob with that guitar. AW hell, what am I yackin' on for, Get some KORINA BABY!!!! Edited cause I didn't say what I wanted.

Say what ya'll want. I like the 3 on a side Blitz. Just wish they weren't so damn heavy! I would love a Zebra one but not ($$$$) that much.

KORINA TOOO!!!!!!!! That is over the top. Funny, Jol said the same about Black Korina that he did about Spalted wood IIRC. Life IS Good!

So the Barncaster has a veneer top then? I thought it was solid too but I have never seen it up closer than 4th row. I have a couple shots from the late 2002 dates Brad had that one out on somewhere. Yeah DavidE . I am a lil predictable eh?

You say it like that is a bad thing. Trust me I have lost no love for Hamer, I just got a sweet mistress. Edited to note: I shared this thread with the Dean board cause those guys dig pointy spalted guitars too.

El and Pee, Great looking guitar. It reminds me of a Desert landscape in the full shot. Neat flaming to the top also. I haven't seen that in a Spalted guitar. I too remember those comments Poe and am suprised that they built it after hearing those words. Good for you Peedenmark it looks great! Ctrixie will have to chime in about the quality of her Dean USA Spalted V she has had for a couple years. The Dean USAs are top notch made for the most part as with any maker. The past 5-8 years they have put out a lot of well made stuff. Hamer quality? Maybe on a good day one or more reach it but not every guitar. I wouldn't expect it from them due to the volume built. Time Capsules, which the Spalted ones are, are all Hamer level but OIMNSHO.

As always, looks like a GREAT time. This event is on my list of things to do. Almost happened this year.

Bumpo for a great guitar. If I must say so myself. Put mine in a friend's hands yesterday and he liked it the best out of all the ones he played. It was the C shape of the neck that got that review.

Here was the inspiration..... Brother Duane and BCRGreg's creation. My Prototype....

Reserve is lower than BIN. They were VERY nice priced new but not at that BIN price. Seller needs to part with it due to financial issues. Bid you might get REAL lucky. Jaxx up above put Chrome mini humbuckers in his ala Eclipse style. These P90 guitars were inspired by this here forum right here!

HMMM If I know you, lil that I do, I know it will be a good time. Here's to more.
