  1. Other cool Hamer basses are in the auction. 8 string Scepter Bass Another Scepter Bass
  2. Dusty Hill owned a Hamer, and it had a four digit serial number. Julien's Auction Page
  3. We better get our Guild, Gretsch, and ESP/Ltd single cut guitars while the dragon is still digesting its recent kill.
  4. El Paso was the first thing I thought of when I read the name.
  5. Collectibles will go through phases. When one brand/line/type gets to expensive there will be a lesser priced brand/line/type to get bought up then elevated to higher prices. There are always newbies entering the market who accept today's prices. We should be glad some of our guitars are possibly going up in price. However, some of us are still looking for a few more Hamers. I want the old prices when I find one.
  6. No one wants to dent their guitar, but you have to take that chance. As I get older I start thinking about actually using some of the things I have kept nice. Those nice guitars do not need to get beaten up carelessly, but they they can be put at risk. Nothing was bought to collect, but some instruments are nice to have in nice shape. Most have no dings, but some have been played in bars. I could worry about them,too, but... but... but... Just play them. There are repairmen who can fix the small imperfections or the major disasters. The nice knives that look so perfectly made are going to get scratched. I have one on order that will be put in a sheath, used, sharpened, scratched, stained, and it will make a collector cringe. I will enjoy the use.
  7. If you cannot play well, play louder to compensate for your inability to play.
  8. If you are able to recone speakers, or if you want to learn how to recone speakers, I have a pair of blown 12" Celestions I am willing to give away.
  9. Because KK plays KxK guitars I actually want to try one out. It would be nicer to have one of his Hamers, though.
  10. The seller included this in his description: "This is my dream guitar and I prefer not to sell it but circumstances have made it necessary to." Circumstances must not be all that pressing.
  11. At the Ovation factory repair shop they used a wood glue for fret work that could be released with heat.
  12. This is rock and roll history. Elvis pill bottle
  13. Julien's has The Fool up for bids. The Link
  14. Do you overbend the stainless steel frets before installing them, or do you bend them to the fretboard radius and stop there?
  15. Does the owner of that stereo system turn off that HVAC unit up on the ceiling when he listens to music? If you need those speakers, you obviously can hear the air flow. Would @JohnnyB approve?
