London Olympics Opening Ceremony: Guitar Player?
Bennyboy-UK replied to LefThanDed's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
If its the bit I think it was, it's mike oldfield from tubular bells fame. I'll have a check. If its the guy who couldn't leave the trem alone on his PRS narrow field thingy, then it's him. Not one of my favourites if I'm honest... -

Turn the treble knob down a bit on the amp?
-
Also maybe go up a string gauge. Austins old Centaura custom is solid maple with PATBs all over it, and when it arrived it was fitted with a set of 10s versus my usual 9s, and the meatiness of the thing was very noticeable in a very good way!

Nice photo's too!

Gibson experts, I got a trade offer, Help
Bennyboy-UK replied to Scottcrud's question in Ask the HFC Experts
Damn it - got in too late... 2 quotes came to mind - one from my Dad - "they were shit then, and they're shit now" (use'd for any band/guitar/amp/<insert anything>), and one from a biz associate who deals with IT equipment brokerage when warding off a potentially trade that might be difficult to find another buyer for "oooh, you don't want to be stuck with one of those up the crack in your arse." Looks like alls well that ends well :-D Not that I know anything anyway -

Um... Roland SuperCube 60 Seymour Duncan 84-40 (still regret selling this one) Orange AD-15 (Buy one if you can find one!) Mesa Boogie 5:25 which is the only one I have left! -

No affiliation - for a start I don't live in the States! ...Mind you looking at it again - do I detect something fishy going on?

Any new Hamers in the works?
Bennyboy-UK replied to Disturber's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Seriously chaps, is it like open season with custom orders? I mean could I stick in an order for anything now? B -
that '000,000,000 grit sounds like whatever I've been using - no mess and no damage- and no masking. The work of minutes for a decent polish up!
-
I use a small strip of very very fine (unknown grade) emery cloth - using the same piece for the last like 5 years! Need to be a bit careful on maple boards (or use steel wool) does the job for me - hope that helps! Ben

I've not had an issue using bog standard furniture polish like mr sheen as yet. If anything I actually like the feel of a neck post a spot of silicone - probably I don't know any better ... But no issues so far on anything I've owned. The only caveat I have is that I don't have corrosive sweat. So my guitars stay in good nick and don't need polishing regularly - no fingermarks or gunk... The low frequency of application might be doing me some favours? B Maybe wax free silicone polish was what I've mainly used? The cloudyness could be produced by precipitation of wax - especially if applied thickly in changable tepmeratures. Whatever I polish with is used sparingly and removed with elbow grease - I treat it as and very fine cutting compound and after application use a seperate clean cloth to remove as much as I can of whatever I've decided to spray onto the guitar... Any help?
