  1. Gotoh hardware is hard to beat at twice the price and they make zinc stop bars. Just make sure you get the proper spacing.
  2. I've been that bored person. It's briefly cool a f but quickly becomes the latest iteration of the one-man-band thing.
  3. Not too bad, but if it got less pedestrian after the two minute mark I didn't stick around for it.
  4. I think (hope?) their scale is set to read ounces. That would make it around 9 lbs.
  5. I'm cleaning out my closet, so to speak, and looking to liquidate everything, so I'm not interested in trades. All prices are net to me, shipping to the lower 48 included. Shipping outside the US may be possible but will be handled case by case. More photos available on request. Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder PT FR Metallic white mahogany body, hard maple neck with ebony board. EMG Retro Active Hot 70 pickups Weight is 7 lbs 14 oz, neck thickness is 0.81" at the 1st and 0.88" at the 12th Excellent condition and a whole lot of fun. Schecter quality is superb for inexpensive imports. $500 with off-brand gig-bag ESP LTD KH-602 Kirk Hammett Alder body, maple neck through with (darker than most) Macassar ebony board Floyd Rose 1000 bridge, EMG Kirk Hammett signature "Bone Breaker" pickups Weight is 8 lbs. Neck thickness is 0.81" at the 1st and 0.85" at the 12th. Extremely fast to play with great low action. Excellent quality for the money. Purple Sparkle and cool guy skull and cross bone inlays! Get your wah on! $1050 with OHSC Seventy Seven Albatross Jazz II Redwood Seventy seven is a Devisor brand coming from the same folks as Momose and Headway guitars. LP-size semi-hollow mahogany body and neck with ebony board. Redwood top. Pickups are Gravelin HUM-90s, Josh's humbucker sized P-90s ala Bubs's Shishkov #0070. Wonderfully big sounding guitar in a tiny package. Case has some tolex that's coming loose but nothing that affects the integrity. Weight is 6 lb 1 oz. Neck thickness is 0.90" at the 1st and 0.97" at the 12th. $1400 with OHSC
  6. Completely off topic, but it was my stumbling across some of Greg's photos of that guitar that first brought me to this forum years ago. I installed double creams in my LP a bunch of years ago and it kinda had the weird effect of making the pickups look too large for the guitar. It may be the perspective in the photos, but they appear overly prominent in your guitar as well. I'd at least put some electrical tape over half the neck pickup to see how the traditional Hamer config might look before making any other changes.
  7. If you’re interested, posting a WTB for period correct Hamer branded tuners could yield positive results. There are some pretty deep parts drawers around here.
  8. It's gotta be tough to move forward as a business when your customer base requires you to lean so heavily into your past.
  9. Again, appreciate the recommendations but I’m pretty adept at googling so I’m not looking for links or sites with used or refurb units. My hope is that a member here may have upgraded and had their old machine laying around.
  10. I appreciate the recommendations but I prefer to stick with the all-in-one solution the iMac provides. Also looking to stay in the used market to save them dollars.
  11. My wife's computer died. My computer was stolen (see above). I need a new (to me) workstation. Can do a cash deal or can do a trade if you're looking for something. I'm fresh out of Hamer guitars but probably have some hardware and Gravelin goodies laying around.
  12. Sounds like a feature! Had Eddie done it we'd all have one!
  13. That makes good sense. I would have assumed the move to the narrow octave dots coincided with the addition of the Special to the lineup, but that's just because I like things to line up all tidy like. Even if that is the case there would have been a few outliers on either side of the change.
  14. I'm just a schmo, but I generally try to match the radius of the board. If it's a compound radius I try to extrapolate what it would be if continued to the bridge and then fudge that towards being less flat than it should be but more flat than at the highest fret. I don't worry too much about the attitude of the individual saddles until I have the radius right, but my final step is to level them out so they're level/stepped rather than cocked to match the radius. It comes more from a place of OCD than any particular know how.
  15. I suspect this came from a well known collection, but I still wonder what's up with the extra digit in the serial number.
  16. Unless you're this guy with the alleged Sunburst built to Special specs.
