Wow! I got a mention. Not me. Although I did try to figure out how I could get into Cheap Chick's Atlantic City gig but aborted that mission due to unforseen G.A.S. attack.

Sounds like a "if you build it.." kinda thing. Faith. Beliving it will happen and it does. Old cliche I've heard Visualization equals Actualization. Cant pinpoint anything guitar related but last year on 01/07/04, I visualized first thing in the morning, when I noticed the date, that the Cash 3 number that day would be 714, coulda been my The Godz influence, so I played a $1 straight/combo of the number. Musta been looking in the mirror, it came in 417! I still won $80 but still. I kept the lil slip for winning it was so cool. For me at least. I will apply your technique to something I'm working on learning and I'll let you know if it helps.

All I can say is WOW!!!

Man, that is a SICK guitar! WOW!!

Yeah but watch out I've gotten a new label lately, I'm "efffin' Laaaaame." BTW, that guitar is YUMMY too!!! Tell the wife that I had no influence!

You gotta watch out for the Dean Lovin' now Hamer Lovin' guys I seem to be influencing. Chuck that is a BAD lil guitar! Nice score!

Along with the things mentioned may I input some too? I've been known to back the treble down a hair when I play/hack on Korina guitars due to the brightness of the wood of the guitar. Couple that with a more treble toned JB pickup and that might be some of it. My Dean Korina Z has a JB in the neck and a JB in the bridge. Stock. Talk about a bright but great sounding guitar. Check the pickup hiegth too. I like Bill Lawrence's advice on pickup hiegth adjustment on the pickupology page at his site. http://www.billlawrence.com Guitar Porn IS obligatory!

Went through that last December bro. My condolences and a big hug your way! Be strong today and then take a moment for yourself.

Ah, you make wise choice my son.

Welcome to this Place of Madness Thomas. Ahh where to begin? 3 of my favorite subjects, Hamer, Korina, and Vectors. Wish I had one but been lucky enough to play a few. Great stuff. OMHO, but Korina and Vectors are such a great combo. I am lucky enough to own the 2 Korina Flying Vs at the bottom of this post. Korina/Limba/ African Mahogany is a wonder guitar wood but until you play and hear and feel it we could babble on forever. If you got the bucks buy one. Someday I will too. BTW, anyone own #28 of the Standard and/or Vector run from '97? I would drop over if I ever ran across those. The one Flying V is the Prototype of a run of 10 total from a Pennsylvania guitar maker named Ron Kayfield. The brand is Arpeggio. Interesting(unproven) story behind the wood. Said to be from the late '40's - early '50s and was a Softball bleecher seat when first used. :P I rewired the Seymour Duncan 59's up using a Hamer Sunburst Archtop schematic found elsewhere on this site. The other is a late '90's Czech made Dean. A feather of a guitar with great LP tones and yet it's own even with Euro pickups. Schaller hardware too. Hamer Vectors are wonderfully balanced and "sustain for days".

MMMM Yummy NICE!!!

Got this one in a pawn shop December 1982 in Jacksonville, Fl. after it's previous owner left her. Sherry Baby is sitting in the livingroom as I type.

Import Standard is gone in case anyone was thinking about it.

Look what you made me finally do. http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4719 It isn't a Special but I bet it will cook.

I thought it was a pretty fair deal. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...Item=7348072391 BTW, anyone need an import Standard upgraded with Sperzels and a SD '59/JB combo for $350 shipped?

Spend the extra. You will not look back. BTW, welcome.

Man that is great news CB.

MMMMM Sustain Block Goodness! Wow that is pretty.

In an interesting twist, In "Walk This Way", Aerosmith's book, they tell of turning down the use of the plane Skynard crashed in and how it was almost them. Skynard's plane went down in a storm with either fuel or mechanical issues. I cant remember which. My copy of the book is loaned out or I would tell you exactly what is written in it.

My Two thousand words on this subject. Oh yeah, and these too, I aint picking, each has their own place for me.

"White on Orange would be cool!"-Tombo Dreansicle shirts.

I would take 2 white, 2 black, 1 green, and 1 indigo/blue. Large. 1 Black and 1 White later in the year when you do the long sleeve run.

Just keep me in mind if you are playing. WE will want to do something Saturday night I'm sure. Thanks.

Yep. Gonna spend the weekend in Columbia Hghts. around 37th and Central and try to fit some fun in along with the show Friday night. Who's playing in Minneapolis area Saturday night?
