  1. On my baby-version of your big-boy advice, I picked up this Paul Desmond box set off Amazon for about $12.50 USD: I like it! I had never really listened to Paul Desmond before, and this collection is worth it. Desmond's lyricism and sense of melody remind me of my favourite saxophonist: Stan Getz. I might work myself up to going all the way with your advice... especially since I grew up in Toronto!
  2. This is how we know that we are getting old. Consider in the 1970s, just when Hamer was getting going, how recent 1959 Gibsons were.
  3. Look at the size of that logo at 2:14! Stadium is right!
  4. The Studio in Inglewood looks good at first blush, especially for the price, but it has some issues. Who cares about the Hameritis, but look at this finish cracking, and the thing is swimming in the tweed economy case.
  5. Oh, my god. I never saw thread until today. What an awful, awful thing. My heart goes out to the Matthes family.
  6. I really like mini-humbuckers in my Artist Korina P90. That reminds me, thank you, to start an NGD thread.
  7. Maybe Steve Stevens from Billy Idol hit this guitar with a hammer... thus breaking the neck. Seriously, it sounds like a good price, and yes, you will get the sustain block, which is worth quite a bit on its own, but even more when attached to a Hamer guitar.
  8. The eBay listing was a flat-top case also. Oddly, it was listed as new, and it didn't even look like my GC-1 cases (the ones that fit Studio, Artist, and Eclipse guitars, among others).
  9. From the seller, "Also, the guitarist from Cheap trick played one just like this. Just a multi necked guitar." Uh, I think that Rick Nielsen's guitar had electronics.
  10. I like the big headstock too, not the shrimpfork. From my old Dean E'lite from 1980: That neck was THICK, and the nut width was only 1-5/8", but it was a real Les-Paul killer. All the attitude of an Explorer prong, but without that big lower bout to knock into your mic stand or your bass player.
  11. If I were you, I would ask for detailed pictures of the scalloping from the side. Some home jobs can be brutal.
