  1. Just saw this on the local Offer Up. Someone modified the body shape a little. But thought someone might be interested. $450 seems like a good price. https://offerup.co/KIUzBcXJkDb
  2. I have no association with this but it is too good to not post. Not sure about the price seems steep to me. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/msg/d/ranchita-hamer-standard/7624651811.html
  3. Do you find the updated board on your Unleash to be better?

      Sorry I haven't been here in awhile. 

      I never got a chance to try the first board, mine was dead when it arrived.   Bad Cat does the new board replacement for free.  One of the main issues it corrects is that if you hook up the wires wrong that you won't burn out the whole unit.  Sorry I can't help you more.  The owner at Bad Cat is a really cool guy.  Call him and discuss it with him.

  4. Congratulations to the guys who got the first run. That is an awesome deal. Good luck to Shishkov I hope his business works out well. Question, since he is only one guy, any idea on how long the current 20 guitars or so he has on order are going to take? Is he going to be hiring some folks to help him now that he has a bunch of orders?
  5. I saw these guys at a house party about a year before the album came out. I was blown away seeing what Eddie was doing. He did change the world. I don't think most young guys really realize what a game changer he was.
  6. I played that guitar. I bought ToneJunkies red one from him. He was keeping that one at the time or it would have been mine. Good luck on the sale. Somebodies gonna get a good guitar.
  7. Here is a link to the boy with the guitar and his message to everyone who contributed. Thanks again. He is a heck of a player. http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/index.p...=42190&st=0
  8. Just got an email from Geoff. The kid got the guitar and loves it. He will be getting the care package from Elduave on Monday when he sees Geoff for his lesson. Geoff has some video that he will be posting shortly of the kid playing the guitar. Thanks again to everyone who participated in this. We done good.
  9. The guitar has been shipped. It will be arriving to Geoff's house on Wednesday. The kid will be getting shortly thereafter. We had $40 left over and sent it to Dave from Rocketeria and he is putting a care package together. It will include some strings, straplocks and some string cutters. I am sure Geoff will update us later this week. Thanks again for everyone who donated cash.
  10. WE MADE IT. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. Thanks to Everyone who Particiapted. We had 24 people make donations. I have now collected $585. I am charging $500 for the guitar. I think shipping will be around $50. I will buy him a few sets of strings with the balance unless someone has a better idea. Again, I don't know how I got involved but thanks for letting me, this have been a great experience. I know this kid will love this thing.
  11. Hold on stop everything. If he doesn't cut of his strings, I can't send him this guitar. LOL!
  12. I have now collected $410. Almost all the way there. This is amazing.
