I'm such a sucker for campy metal 🤘😝🤘
DaveL replied to Dave Scepter's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
This was better than I was expecting. Pretty pro sounding. Just watched the prime documentary on classic albums and they did British Steel. Very cool. Always loved the sound of that album and they (priest and Tom Allom) discuss recording at Ringo’s house. -
2020 Gibson USA Original Series, gloss finish, very clean, some light tarnish on wrap tail but otherwise very clean, frets are excellent. Original pickup was swapped for a Wolfetone Meaner and sounds nice, excellent action, fairly light (approx 6 lbs 1 oz). very nicely matched grain. 60's slim profile. Comes with OHSC. I believe these might now be discontinued, IMHO, the best value in the Gibson USA line. sorry, don't have the original pickup. Great axe but mostly play my Rock N Roll Relics Special. Now SOLD Thank you

One kind of red flag, includes priority mail shipping, if you've checked priority mail for a guitar, it's expensive for something big selling for $653 with a $200+ shipping included, the numbers don't seem right here. But if you feel comfortable and use credit card, I don't know... sometimes credit cards can be really picky, the chargeback is not always the slam dunk it's believed to be.

Probably not. I did try it once on a moderately good deal on a camera body. Guy was a creep who basically never responded but I did get my money back. Now reverb I bought a hamer special. Wasn’t even that good a deal. Guy added a tracker for a 1 lb package which I think was to prompt the reverb payout. Thankfully. I had done an image search on the item and saw that the pics and text were stolen from another listing so I reported it asap before he got paid out. I would suggest throwing the item into google and seeing if this turd lifted the pics from elsewhere. But even then. Just avoid it and roll on.

New guitars 2023. What did you get, if any?
DaveL replied to Disturber's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I pretty much turned over my complete collection this year... but these two beasts were my favorites... Murphy Lab Light aged with OX4 Ed King pickups 2002 Dean USA Caddy... clean with like new frets... believe this is one where US Masters did the woodwork and Dean Tampa took it from there... I have the original pickups but I added super distortions. I know the aging is bananas but it's a great axe and the frets were perfect 2022 rock n roll relics some bass content. 2020 Fender Road Worn (MIM) 60th Anniversary Firemist Silver Jazz bass... has a nice mint green tint to it lastly... building this one, hopefully for me. an MJT/Musikraft Sonic Blue Esquire with a hot Vineham Broadcaster pickup- 145 replies

Usually, I'm pretty handy, but reversing a truss rod cover is something I'd leave to a professional... that's easily a $100 job. lol -

Hi, I grabbed the domain www.fredoguitarsnh.com (just in case there are fredoguitars in the other 49 states lol) but it will be a while before it's ready. I'll add a gallery of some of my projects to my original post this weekend. Thanks!

so... I have a friend. We had this thing called the Want Advertiser (pre craigslist). Every wednesday the gear heads would race to the store to get the new book. Commisions for ads were based on the "honor system" and well you know how that goes... So, he gets a call on his vintage fender tweed or some similar thing. the guys asks a bunch of questions and says ok, I'll have my friend give you a call, he'd like to check it out... Guy calls, they agree to meet. The dude drives up. It's Joe fuckin Perry and other than the porsche, he was a cool normal dude and bought it.

There was a Kiss tribute band in my area... the ace was really chubby. Almost Queen from NY I think, is pretty good, they do gangbusters and sometimes plays large theatres... The Lords of 52 Street does Billy Joel but they have alot of Billy's original band (Liberty Devito, Richie Cannata sp?) and they blew me away... the singer pianist didn't know his name but he was awesome too. As you know, if you don’t play the classic era Billy Joel, bad things can happen. Lol

They say, that people yearn for what's cool when they were in their mid to late teens... ever seen a guy at a record show wearing a satin jacket (although you could argue a satin jacket was never cool) and driving a muscle car? I rest my case It could be we're on the tail end of boomers and beginning of gen x ers... do the math. A Hamer Standard was the coolest damn thing I could imagine in 1981-83...

PSA - Cheap Special FM

Yes. That’s Aztec Gold. A pretty common color for FM’s but it’s a great color which shows the flame really well. -
