I liked the old way...

Seeing my parts on so many killer guitars is now kind of a double edge sword for me. On one hand, it's a complete rush to see something I made with my own two little hands (and an $80,000 CNC!!) on the best built guits in the country. Kicks my ass every time! On the OTHER hand though, is seeing Greg push like hell to get Hamer to even build Sustain Block guitars, only to have Jol take the credit. Granted - it's Jol's design and his company and his website and yada yada yada...but the fact remains that if Greg hadn't persisted, Jol would NEVER have looked back. With the number of Sustain Block orders creeping up, Hamer is now making their own 'blocks in-house. That's very cool. It's great that they've responded to the demand. But at the same time, Greg will no longer need the ones I made, and the few I have left will be the last from me. For me, that kinda sucks. No more struttin' around like a proud papa every time you guys order up another knockout guitar. No more showing off pictures to anyone who cares (or doesn't!!) and beaming "HEY! That's one of mine!". No more calling the wife over to the computer yelling "Look, honey, LOOK!!, only to have her smack me one for interupting "American Idol". It's been a cool ride. I'm glad Greg let me take it with him. And I'd like to thank Jol for allowing my parts to be used. It's been an honor. You guys keep ordering Sustain Block guitars. Because SUSTAIN BLOCKS RULE!!

F*ck me in the ear! THAT is cool!

Hey! That's mine on Ebay! That's why I wanted to know when they were made. I always ask here first ('cuz you guys know EVERYTHING! LOL!) Anyway - the 'Slammer Series' ran from '90 to '95. The 'Slammer by Hamer' came after. I have a Cali as well. For cheap guitars, they kill.

And is there any way of telling what year a certain instrument was built? Thanks
