And where would this "glut" of unsold stock be?

I voted in the >$2,500 range, because that's how much I paid for my 2013 LP Standard Koa after tax; before tax, it would be <$2,500. But as far as value? My Hamers, of course--they're priceless!

I saw a video of a guy who made his own vacuum tubes! Sort of like rolling a joint, I guess...

My thoughts exactly!

I bet they say the same thing about Ovations as well.

Absolute perfection!

Thanks for all the artistry and quality you've put into Hamer. My Studio Custom, Artist Custom, and Newport BE are perfect, and they ain't going anywhere!

Tacoma and Guild come to mind.

Another reason I will never, ever, buy a Fender! Here's a thought--can the employees buy or lease the building and machinery, and start their own company--similar to what Heritage Guitars did?

"Jackass Guitars" -- the new Hamer! I'd buy one!

Maybe an underwear-shaped TRC?

Is it possible for the current Hamer builders to form their own company, and lease the equipment to build Hamers full time?

I've met him, and jammed with him. He and his entire family are top notch!

I wish manufacturers would leave off the pickguards!

A Heritage semi-hollow--or two.

Nothing worth mentioning...

BIG price drops on most Gibsons--up to 40% off their usual prices!

What a great pair!

I'd place an order!

I don't even have a basement--you're in the big leagues!

I've never had a lesson, so I guess I'm self-taught. Lots of Mel Bay books, then "Guitar for the Practicing Musician," then later, tab and interwebs. But through all that, I listened to records and tried to play the songs.

I received mine the other day, and am impressed with the overall quality of the pictures and the thickness of the paper. No doubt this is the Hamer of books!

I"m looking for a new semi-hollow, and I am considering a Carvin SH or having a Heritage H555 custom made. What makes you hate Heritage so much?

I been looking at the Carvin Guitar website, and the guitars they have displayed are very nice. But after doing some research, it seems there are either Carvin lovers or Carvin haters. Does anyone have any first-hand experience with them?
