Smoke and mirrors prevail....

Don't mess with the bull, you'll get the horns! Pure awesomeness, Greg! Hope you're well, buddy!

Come back here, I'll nudge you to death!!

Every now and then I say to myself, "hey why don't I try this". Then I say to myself, "nah, that won't work". That's when I return to my potato chips and beer...

They are fantastic guitars, like most Hamers are. They tend to be Les Paul heavy, but that just comes with the territory. I think if you can get one to your door for 2K or less, you have done a good job. Well worth having IMHO. Start throwing out some offers, and someone will need the cash. You'll be happy you did..

My 4 digit Standard... That one still hurts... I had $650.00 in it, sold it for $1500.00 and thought I was the greatest guitar salesman in the world. Until I sold my 1960 Gibson Doublecut Jr. for $1500.00 that I had $500.00 in. Then I was the greatest salesman. SMH....

Bought these two at the same time..

Thanks Topekatj, It's a 2016 Traditional 50's with lightburst finish. I did a few mods, such as an ABR instead of the Nashville bridge it came with, I put the reflector knobs on, and changed the pickguard from the pinkish one that came with it. It is a one piece body with the 9 hole weight relief. It weighs 8lbs9ozs. It's a great guitar. Right now it has a set of Grosh pickups in it. They are his 302 and 327 set of overwound vintage specs. It's a keeper!

Another legend gone. She was one of a kind..

Wish I had run into you, Steve. I would have said hello for sure. I wish I had worn an HFC t-shirt. I broke out the Drivin-N-Cryin instead. Eric Ernest of Abalone Vintage is a good guy. He graciously let me play Greeny when he was selling it on consignment..

It was great to meet you and your daughter, Willie! I really enjoyed our conversation, and would loved to have talked a lot more with you.The books are fantastic! I couldn't put my Robin book down all day Sunday. You are a treasure to the world of guitar, and an all around great guy! I love the contributions of the HFC's own Kizanski. He has had some amazing guitars. I hope to cross paths with you again sometime! Take it easy, Kerry

Time stops for no one. The fact that I can see this in 2026 is heartwarming. Too bad that Jon Lord isn't still with us. It wasn't perfect, but who cares. Long live Deep Purple!

I'll play..

Ahhh, the Doublecut Classic! One of the best guitars out there for the money. A friend of mine has one. It's Killer! Enjoy that bad boy!

See you there!
