Makes you wonder WTF is really going on...

Good points here.

Damn right. Me too. 6 new Hamers, 5 of them custom orders. I at least helped Jol gas up his Porsches a couple of times. 88,000 views vs. 22,000 is close? The Boobies thread (he said, patting himself on the back for starting it almost 8 years ago) is by far the most viewed and responded to thread in HFC history. ...and you're welcome.

They also keep brands like Santana in business. Hamer, not so much. Exactly my point.

All true, Muse, but doesn't make anything that I said less so. And let's not forget one tried and true fact: The Masses are Asses.

Santana a hack? Somebody's having too much eggnog.... hack·neyed /ˈhaknēd/ Adjective (of a phrase or idea) Lacking significance through having been overused. That's about as close to a definition of Carlos Santana as you will ever find. The man is a repetitive as a broken record.

...and the scale length.

LOVE!

I can't answer this with anything but conjecture, but I'll say the price would be objectively fair. I'm happy to discuss offline what I feel my obligation is towards that guitar...It might come across as arrogant here. In cynic's defense, I did offer him what was, in my opinion, a sizable profit on that 4-digit, but he declined.

I can, and do. Not trying to take a side here, but can you honestly say you wouldn't have done the same, given the opportunity?

So, on to more HFC-related issues: Is there a thread on the entire HFC which has over 300 posts, other than the Boobies and Booties threads?

Give ME three million bucks and I'm gone like a cool fuckin' breeze.

So he can pay for the guitars he was once getting for free?

Two words: Country. Music.

Word. in fact, I say we change the name of the Hamer Fan Club to The Used Hamer Trading and Gossip Club (or UHTGC). Rolls right off your tongue! Anyway, it beats the Hamer Fertilizer & Pillows Fan Club.

If you didn't see that coming you haven't been paying attention at all. Exactly.

Very tempting!

Order cancelled. That is my Counter Black Friday Maneuver™!

Yeah, just when I was out, he PULLED me back in! ...and I ordered a black one.

AWE, COME ON, JAYE!

Wow! That's almost too good to pass up, but I'm going to do my best to resist. Even had one in my shopping cart, just seconds from hitting the button to commit, then I remembered the stack of unused guitars that are mercilessly mocking me as I type this. I'm going to point to the Slim Taper neck as the reason that I pass on one, but it'll probably bother me for a couple of hours until I forget about it.

+1! Joe-DEE!! (Also a long time Robin guy and Woody Harrelson impersonator)...

Yeah. Looks like it worked. /\

They're numbering Korean imports now?

Doesn't bother me. I do wish they had routed the neck pickup in the right place, though, so that the first bobbin is centered on the octave. I'd rather see the neck tenon than to cover all of the Zulu goodness with a pick guard. But you already know what I think...
