  1. That is the only 're-boot' Hamer I've ever seen. Looks nice. Not that it matters, but where are they making those?
  2. A quick search shows nobody makes bell-shaped concentric knobs. Somebody might, but I didn't find it. You could keep two bell knobs in the first 2 positions by leaving them as regular volume controls, then use a concentric pot w/ master tone in the third. Just pleasepleaseplease don't drill it.
  3. Had one exactly like that in the early '80s. It's what started the whole Junior thing for me. Sold it to pay the rent (somewhere around $300). Still bums me out.
  4. There was nothing about that kid that didn't impress the hell out of me. He is absolutely on top of every facet of his music. Wicked talent there.
  5. https://www.guitarplayer.com/guitarists/due-to-serious-illness-i-am-unable-to-perform-im-gutted-health-issues-force-brian-setzer-to-regrettably-make-last-minute-cancellation-of-stray-cats-show-this-past-saturday-on-the-opening-night-of-their-tour I don't know if this has been posted here before, but I hope he can somehow overcome it. Damn.
  6. Yep, same here - love the look, can't deal with the skinny neck.
  7. ^^^^Yeah, Ben's option would be solid, original and cheaper: Plus, that thing is clean.
  8. $20K? They've had some of what Marvin Berry and the Starlighters were smoking. The case is cool, though.
  9. Back when bands weren't autotuned/pitchcorrected/computerized into a steaming pile and still sounded fucking great. I always forget just how good these guys were live.
  10. ^^^But how brave do you want to be with a $3K guitar? Also, the ones used for pegboard - DON'T DO IT! Learnt the hard way - the 'weld' broke and dropped a relatively light guitar onto my LP. I was saddened by the occasion.
  11. Fits: LP, Hamer Special/Junior/Studio/Artist, Shishkov DC (with a little coaxing), Mitchell MS450 (a bit loose). I'm sure there's more, but that's what I got. I use one in place of my original 46-year-old LPC case. It's a great snug fit and far more robust.
  12. As a Gator Hater, this hurts. But these are great cases and that's a great price. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid Gator Flight Pro V2 TSA Series ATA Molded Gibson Les Paul Guitar Case The Gator Flight Pro TSA ATA Molded Gibson Les Paul guitar case is built for players who demand serious protection for their treasured Les Paul.

  13. Every time - the craftsmanship in these pictures just blows me away. Another amazing piece. Congrats all around!
  14. OK, this looks kinda cool. Not $200 cool, or even $100 cool, but it's a neat idea. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/gravity-stands-guitar-glow-stand-a-frame/m11824000000000 ...and maybe my drummer wouldn't trip over my f***in' guitar stands on an unlit stage.
  15. You forgot the best one:
  16. A girl?? Oh. My. God. 2nd rule (right after NSOS): no chicks in the band.
  17. Robert Plant?
  18. Same.
  19. I snagged Kiz's Hercules hangers (the best out there) when he downsized and swapped them for the cheapos seen here: I screwed pallet boards to the studs and was free to place the guitars however I wanted. The unexpected benefit is the humidity stays really stable. And if you saw the rest of this blown-up room, you'd think this looks great. And never - I mean NEVER - use fucking drywall anchors. Well, unless you like broken gear.
  20. I had a Crate PowerBlock for a gig backup and sold it after trying the Quilter MicroBlock. It is surprisingly loud, warm and clean for such a tiny package, and takes pedals very well. I have 2 now and they go to every gig.
