  1. Back in 99 Hamer did a few “ matched sets” of Korina Junior and Special with consecutive serial numbers in a giant 2 place case. I think Ernie had a set years ago? Anyway, I assume the 004 would make this one of the 004 pair. I don’t remember the stop/tuneomatic bridge on them but maybe they were all like that? Someone must have a pic… Mark
  2. It’s local to me, and I’m looking for something P90, but I the lack of wrap bridge is a deal breaker for me.
  3. Great to see Bubs and Travis today! Also ran into Curtis Meissner later in the show, and few other collectors/dealers I know from the old days. Dave- I missed ya somehow, maybe next time. I came home empty handed… my les paul Jr/special hunt continues.
  4. Yep, I’m planning on going. See ya there! Mark
  5. My first “real” amp was a brown Fender Vibrasonic with a JBL. I bought it from Paul and Jol at Northern Prairie Music in ‘75. 😊
  6. Aaaand it's gone. I was there this morning and really liked it, but was hoping for a larger neck. It was hard to walk away from.... really pretty in person, light and balanced... I'm going to regret it in 3...2...1...🫤 I'm really looking for a P90 Special/Junior... yeah - should have bought Ernie's -Mark
  7. Thanks Ernie! Finally .009s Ordered. -Mark
  8. I've got a Frankenstein Vintage S (orig body w/vintage Schecter solid rosewood neck) that is not heavy at all.
  9. Man, this thread is gonna hurt. I’ve been looking for a Junior or Special. I sold my 59’ Jr here years ago and regretted it on the way home from delivering it… 🫣
  10. I’m dreaming of a vintage one but this really caught my eye… twas hard to resist! Glad you got it, hope you love it.
  11. There are open seats for the Thursday show in Des Plaines… but at 159.00 I’m going to have to live with the rusty memory of the “Lights out” tour show at the International Amphitheater. A memory so distant I needed to fact check it with my buddy Pete🤣
  12. RIP "The Father of loud"
  13. Totally cool. 66hp @ 17,000rpm pushing a 260lb bike in 1967... Must have devistated the competition. Mark
  14. WHAT? No Sharkfin??? Any interest in a run of 358 (fender jazz teardrop) in medium? Mark ps: holoskull finish too?
