bump. anyone need to spend their tax return?

Anyone? Partial trade considered. Looking for something with P90s.

This seems like a piece of gear that will make you want to learn some new songs. Like when I bought my Martin, I had to learn some Neil Young tunes.

Absolutely. It's not like it was used on any famous recordings or anything. Didn't he sharpie some fret markers on the neck as well?

Bought this from Walt Grace Vintage on a whim a few years back. Has maybe 5-6 playing hours on it. Never gigged or played outside of home. I can't find any dings or scratches other than some very light swirls on the back. Certificate and all case candy included. The whole shebang. Custombucker Alnico lll pickups. Weighs 8.5 pounds on my bathroom scale. PM for more photos. I think I hit the size limit with just one. Asking $3900 shipped with PayPal friends and family. Or else, buyer can pay the PP fees.

All you need is a Strat and a Rat. I bought my first Rat in the early 90s for $25 used. I've had a large box reissue, the whiteface Reissue, and the dual unit (forget what is was called). They are all good. I also had an original Big Muff (version 1) and it sounded very similar to the Rat with the filter all the way up.

Will you take $350 for it?

I have a strong feeling that guitar was once mine. If so, that is Joe Dantig's signature, from when I met him at a seminar he and Kim Keller hosted at Wolfe Guitars. Great guitar, and I only sold it because I was buying a house.

Correct. SRVs used to come with a plain black guard as well as the initialed one.

Clearing out the parts bin. I have 2 fully loaded Strat pick guards for sale. One is from a late 70s Greco 50's Strat style with Maxon 31276 pickups, the other is a 90s era SRV with Texas Specials. I also have an unmarked tele bridge of unknown origin. Some misc. parts from the Greco Strat and the SRV. Fender SRV Loaded Pickguard- $150 Greco Loaded Pickguard -$100 SRV Bridge w/ hardware-I have the trim claw and springs as well-$100 SRV Gold jackplate-$25 Greco Vintage style tuners-$50 Tele bridge-$30 All prices include shipping and PayPal to Continental US.

Agree 100% I used it with an old Vibro-Champ and liked the reverb sound even better than my vintage Princeton Reverb's.

Well if you never lose or misplace them, and they are indestructible, why would you need more than 1?

Some labels now are high quality, some are lower. I bought 2 albums from the "Bloodshot" label that were warped right out of the box. Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs and Sundazed are two labels that I've bought that sound great, but I don't think it's because of any superior materials or the thicker vinyl they use-180 or 200g. Plenty of my older albums sound amazing. I know there are different causes of surface noise, but I own plenty of older records (some were mine originally, some I've bought in second hand stores) that play very clean with little or no surface noise. BTW, that JVC turntable is sweet.

Ok, so arguably the biggest Hamer fan ever, who co-wrote a book on Hamers. and chose that particular guitar for the cover because it best represents the brand of which he is #1 fan, creator/keeper of the archives, daily poster to the HFC for what, 15+ years? is going to sell the best example of the Hamer brand currently in possession of mortal man. Makes sense. There must be other heirlooms in the family.
