They're on the way.

We will miss you, young Veatch! Now Gerg doesn't have a 'handler.' I won't be there, so no "handler" needed. If I DID need one, Daisy, YOU would be the one.....

Kristin and I were talking about how so many people from all over have been here......and I have no idea how may have actually set foot on our floor. So.....who has been here, and when?

Oh, shit. (looks around at too many guitars in the pile...) Shit, can't do it. THAT is the way a good guitar looks......beat and ready.

I used to take the outer two magnets of of Invaders, install regular poles and use them in my hard rock guitars. THAT sounded pretty good.

I am constantly amazed at how cool people can be.

Use a sharkfin pick.

Why? Hamer guitars we a big part of my business.......40 a year or so at times. That's a big hit to my bottom line, not having that income. Jol changed the company to the point that they no longer had a solid customer base...nobody seemed to be able to figure out what Hamer really was. Getting new customers was hard, old customers cannot be counted on to help a company grow. The economy tanking happened AFTER Hamer tanked, from the dealer's perspective.

You are way off on what Paul wanted....where did you get that info? There's plenty of good to remember, but you folks didn't have to deal with the behind-the-scenes stuff (that will not be dredges up here)...and the company would still be producing the guitars that you speak of had the customer been given more import. Bottom line is....they were the best of times, they were the worst of times....and they are now in the past. Thankfully, Hamer is producing the best quality guitars that they have EVER MADE right now.....

Don't blame Fender. Jol directed the Hamer company away from profitability. He turned Hamer into his personal guitar factory....building what HE wanted, not what many customers wanted. Fender made a business decision to stop losing money and that was that.

Lance brought up a good point. Most of us became Hamer fans because of the guy in this video... I have pics from that NAMM show. Rick and I at the Hamer booth, blah blah blah. We all had "Hamer rocks hard!" tshirts. Jol was the MAN, keeping everyone happy. But once he had us, he didn't want us any more. His loss.

On his blog.... Bullshit followed by a suggestion to steal property. Jol, try stealing a magazine from my shop, sometime.

Fixed it for ya.

Does the house come with a hand bound book of noodlings and bits of wire? I think NOT!

Gold knobs? WTF?

Daily Tiffany.....

Today's Daily Tiffany.....

That WAS going to be your bench, but you didn't come up.

I had to kick Tiffany off the bench so that I could do the work.....

Tiffany loves it...

Push/pull tone pot brings in the middle pickup with the neck. All of my 3 pickup guitars are wired this way. You get a really cool chime by having three humbuckers in parallel, and the you go to the bridge pickup for the snort.

Seems a third Fralin FELL into this guitar while it was on my bench...... dboy, your guitar KILLS.
