Do I need a Rickenbacker 330 or 360?
Steve Haynie replied to hikarateboy's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I could be very happy with a 330. It is flat with squared edges instead of the round edges on the 360. -

I think it went to a friend of formula73. I could be really wrong about that. -
COVID Collaboration Cover (w. Hamer Content)

I like the mix on that recording. -
I think the concept is ingenious. The bass has a built in shillelagh for those times the audience gets out of hand.

My 1982 Sunburst is my # 1 at this time. That would be the keeper. ...but once I pick up my (fill in model name) it makes me rethink my decision. -

Hey, man! Can I borrow your guitar?

Gibson Guitars Stolen from Sweetwater Truck
Steve Haynie replied to cynic's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I could live Hamer's "TV yellow" that looked greenish... sort of. It was not my preferred color for sure. The more yellow finish looked nicer, but it was not really that good looking. I would still have a Special in that color, so it is sort of moot. Those silver burst Les Pauls looked nice when they were new, but they have ambered into an uglier green than I want to look at. Fortunately, you do not look at the front of your guitar as you play, just the neck if you look at your guitar at all while you play. -
Is this a case of Hameritis?
Steve Haynie replied to HamerCustomEr's question in Ask the HFC Experts
The finish has that amber color to it. It has separated from the wood, and the back side has the texture of the wood. Light is reflecting as "gold." A repairman who is good with super-glue can fill the gap. -
Ken Hensley died yesterday. He was one of the guys who made an organ a heavy rock instrument when he was in Uriah Heep. I got to see him when he was with Blackfoot. For a while he worked for Ampeg.

Actually, she can sing. She hits her notes.

I like Grace Slick's singing because she sounds like a belligerent rock and roller with every line. Of the few people I have met who encountered Grace Slick in person none of them enjoyed the experience.

As time goes by there are fewer and fewer guitars I would moronically pay for if the money was available. Unfortunately, the bands that used those instruments are long gone, with just enough morons in the world that remember them like I do. That desire to have those guitars since my teen years persists.

PSA: FM Special 1993
Steve Haynie replied to BoogieMKIIA's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
1993 was that transition year from thin necks to the fuller necks. The guitar is three hours away. It is tempting to drive up there with cash, but way too many people harass sellers online. To ask, "Can I come over to try out your guitar?" is that question that makes sellers feel uneasy, but with my 1992 and 1993 Specials not getting played as much as the other guitars with thicker necks I really want to know what that Special FM is like. -

The seller was asked if the neck thickness is thin or medium. He said medium. -
