You’re right, at this point it couldn’t hurt, could it? 🤔

Super cool! Someone here should hop on that...

True, or take this ugly duckling and get it refinished in the (non orange) color of your choice: Extremely affiliated, ($550 plus shipping for HFC): https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/msg/d/san-francisco-hamer-usa-steve-stevens/7045597474.html

That is magnificent.

Here's a better (cheaper?) option (no affiliation): https://reverb.com/item/31723927-hamer-ss-prototype-steve-stevens-1984-orange-metal-flake

I think the price has gone up for Earl though.

Price drop again! 850 plus shipping. BUMP https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/msg/d/san-francisco-rare-hamer-phantom-a5-in/7045594383.html

Also, isn't "Fuuuuuuucccck. Oooooooffffff" a traditional greeting in Ireland? Might be a cultural misunderstanding. Anyway, that's what my friend from Belfast always says to me when he sees me. Hmmm...🤫

Not that you're really apologizing for it, but please continue to utilize the English language in flowery ways! Eschew Obfuscation? Also, maybe Gary was a prick, or maybe he didn't like fanboys? Who can say? Probably a bit of both, as Kiz has said. Maybe there was a reason he was glassed in the face... Paul Gilbert was nothing but nice to me when I met him. Gregarious is the word. Thread successfully hijacked. Anyone getting that Scepter? :-D

Gary wasn’t big on his looks, as any photo of him will prove. Neither would anyone be, who was ‘glassed’ (struck with a broken pint glass) in the face, as he was. But, he was arguably the best guitarist walking when he was alive.

The patron saint of the Scepter is missing from this thread.

Hmmmmm, If there were a guy on this board who likes that sort of thing, his name would be written all over it. 😃

$600 plus shipping?

$1000 PP plus shipping?

Agreed. It's good to know what I would have had to vehemently resisted buying airfare for.
