MMMMM it was a good year for Hamer hunting.
In February I picked up this Import Hamer Standard, Ralphie pictured here with his fellow Import Dean '79 Series Z Louie I got in March trying to be ambidextrious or sum-ting, they have both departed.
In May I scored this MOST EXCELLANT '97 Mahogany Standard by way of Sonicblue1960, Brewmaster, and Bruce919, . Ole '97 could be the best guitar I own.
I wasn't in Minneapolis 30 minutes last July when I knew this one was coming home with me.
Chucky was/is a GREAT guitar, imnsho, but I got Korina Fever for this one fellow HFC'er Tomjoyce was selling on Evilbay for a real decent BIN. While my AK10-46 is a great guitar I do regret selling Chucky and might have to try to get that one back someday.
Edited to add: I forgot about Vug the Lil Ol' Vector from Tejas!!! He came to Florida in November or so.
