Kinda know what you mean. I have a friend , a 20+ year retired cop. He can be a little pushy at times, not hard sell tho'. I feel like I always have to censor some of the things I want to say so as to not push any buttons. Like I can't totally be myself, unless we're both drinking a little too much, then it gets relaxed.

My son in law died of glioblastoma(aggressive brain cancer)1 1/2 years ago. Same as Brit Turner of Blackberry Smoke and of course Neil Peart. I don't know if I've fully processed it yet. RIP Jennifer Finch Condolence to family, friends and fans

Go back to the room you first thought of it. Usually works for me.

ALways one of my favorite bands and singers. RIP

I've had a set of Gravelin Low Winds in a 25th Anniversary Artist that sounded pretty darn good. I've since sold both in my never ending quest for whatever it is I'm looking for.

Daytona is a better Strat. 25 1/2" scale, Seymour pickups. 14" scale. Trem, etc. I don't have both but think they would be quite different.

I've missed his posts and expertise on many subjects. My condolences to you and his family.

Was he confused with the Triple Threat Studio? 30 for Dvaes, 30 for Willcuts, 30 for Wildwood(??). Such a cool store. I need to get back over that way again.

You know, I wish I could do that. But I can't listen to it very long, just like electric shredders.

$10K ??

I appreciate you and everything that you do! I've been here for awhile, have met a few of the HFCers'. have been to a Hamer Jam AND the 4321 club!! I've been enjoying all things Hamer! I can't imagine being anywhere else!

Ima gonna start saving!

No, you only die once. You live everyday, hopefully like it's your last. Zorrow, sell them. A guitar in the case not used is not a guitar.

Those are such nice guitars! Congrats!

Our USPS in the midwest is not reliable at all. Arrival dates come and go. USPS trucks go 1 1/2/ mile by my house to 140 miles north to Fargo then back to Huron, SD(90 miles SW of me) then to Watertown, where I live. Sioux Falls is 100 miles south of me, took 5 days for a small package to get here. I woouldn't use them.

I appreciate you and all you do for this site. HFC is my morning go-to, I'd be lost without it. I've learned all things Hamer here and lots about a lot of other subjects and people. The Fcaebook group is ok but all the true experts are here.

I ordered a Wangs amp from China acouple months ago. Sale price $775, free shipping. UPS hit me for approximately $150 for tarrifs, Wangs refunded that back to me. I checked Border Buddy before hand, if I remember correctly they quoted $300-350 for fees.

Mahogany neck with 60s SlimTaper profile. No thank you.

Timely post. I think I've gathered all the parts to start my latest amp, Sluckeys' Dual Lite. Dual pre amp Vox AC15 Lite and Marshall 18 watt. Non- footswitchable(guess I could make it that way) preamp into 2 el84 power amp. AC15 has vol., brilliance(6 way rotary) and cut. 18 watt has vol and tone. Most of the amps I've built utilize Hammond organ transformers so I work within those parameters. I actually have built both those amps already. Matchless Nighthawk(head) is their take on the AC15 and the Marshall 18 watt lite(combo) is, well, the Marshall 18 watt. Both pretty darn decent sounding amps. I built Robinettes' JCM 800 with a pair of 6v6 s' two winters ago, his 6L6 Blackvibe 3 winters ago. Winters can get long here in SoDak ! I've built 8 amps so far since I quit gigging in '07, they've gotten increasingly expensive too build. The dual lite will probably be the last build. Marsha the 18 watt, left is Matchless nighthawk(AC15), The JCM 800 6v6 with a lot of hammond organ parts.

David Lee is in our state twice this coming summer. I think my yard needs mowing. Altho I'm sure his band will be decent.

I've only reconed one speaker, a Celestion G12H annivesary. I bought the drop in kit off Reverb. The easy part was the actual gluing in the pieces. The hard part was taking all the glue off the surround and voice coil cover. Labor intensive. I'm sure the experts are much better at it than I was.

It was my very first amp in about 1968. Bought it used , don't remember a thing about it.

WOW, what a wonderful woman. All that knowledge, the wherewithall to take all those notes, from the start! I can only hope someone is writing a book about her and all her knowledge.

My Eclipse. Sentell mini p-90 pickups. Mighty fine! My avatar is also p-90, 3 of them! McInturff Taurus Custom, another Mighty Fine!!

DIBS !! either one! or both.
