Joe K

Some dude about a week and a half ago posted on some FB Cheap Trick pages that he located “the eye.” The eye was a stage backdrop spotlight from the 1981 All Shook Up tour. I saw it in January ‘81. Anyway, he posted that he returned the eye to Rick Nielsen who gave him a signed checkerboard Hamer V. Bet you he’s trying to make $30K for locating the eye or he sold it underestimating its potential value and somebody else is trying to do it. $30K either way is still arguably and probably too much.

I reported him to the BBB when he tried to stiff me too. He sucks.

When I ordered some replacement saddles from John Mann, they arrived and were too wide. John asked me to send him an original one that I had so he could do his own measurements. He also wasn’t aware there were variations in size. Good guy though.

Bun E, Jon Brant, and Xeno. Not sure who the fourth member is.

Rick & Miles last December. Miles playing my ‘78 Greco Mirage M1000.

What year did Hamer stop using poker chips on the standards?

Yep, buyer beware of Eddie. Ordered a Nielsen korina. Promised me 6 months. Almost 2 years later I had to contact BBB because he blocked me and refused to refund. BBB came through, thankfully.
