they can be "shoe horned" in properly. Like it was meant to be

feynman said it best. thats Rock

probably bass wood body, (has an old school kahler spyder?) pull out bridge, stud, super glue, re install. seperation, paint finish over fretboard. two different woods, two different reactions.

HBD gents!

^ yup. TAD's have been really good to me as well for my tweed tubed needs. good prices at mojo.

oh yeah. Lots of them will post soon.

quote from David Carradine, Kill Bill,: "you aint a kiddin!" I am looking forward to it. wait till I start exploiting photos and stuff.....

I have my own facility here at the homestead that I can now fully exploit without contractual restraint. Fully tooled, ready to go. I just need to hook up the HVAC air exchange in the spray booth for, well, finish stuff

Two weeks ago, I had put in my notice of resignation at the Gibson Custom Shop, Pro Shop Luthier employee. Today was my last of days. Was a great tenor of time, I learned some things, met alot of great people, great co workers, Lots of Stars and guitars. So, now I am free of the clutches and binders of the H. J., Game on. I declare independence . I am feeling really good right now.

clean it up with naptha, then a non silcone polish (mcguires)

wow, I cringed, laughed, and saddened,

all the way baby! road trip!

the old tv ad, "motor oil is motor oil"..... you get what you pay for. Mobil 1, then switch it up with Castrol. never a oil failure in my well tuned fast cars. also, the bigger the filter, the better. you can usually size up no prob.

you stole that ! I believe that would be Chaffin era made Dean. Very Nice!

been a hamer fan since there inception. Seeing cheap trick open for kiss in 78', oh those standards. Martin Bare playing that BCBS, Lita ford, I can go on and on. when, me, a kid back then, when all I wanted was a les paul standard so I can chop it up like Ace and Jimmy, but the local Gibson Dealer had no faith in me, but a new HAMER dealer came on the scene, and they had faith in me. Hooked ever since. I have alot of guitars. Alot of different guitars. Each with its own personality in which shines when I put my personality on top of that. all good. But I do love my Hamers.

"Do yourself a favor. If you suck, don't buy this guitar. It'll expose you. It'll laugh in your face and make people talk behind your back. It'll have sex with your girlfriend when you're not around. It'll tell the world "I'm awesome. Too bad about this guy." priceless. badass. truth. nice

thats about it. Hardware stores have a drill reamer for about $5. tape it up, I would go thru paint side first (top) with slow even pressure until orifice size is achieved.

already sold

check the switch to see if it grounding out on something. That happens alot since it is a 90' angle switch, could be a bare wire grounding on it, shorting all else. if that is not the case, try this~ clean the contact points. use some 1500 wet//dry sand paper, lightly sand, clean the contact points on the switch wafers. see if that works. J

caught my eye as well. very cool. Nice to see that being played.

enjoy Dave!

I motion the thread to be sticky'd

I'm in, when ever. seriously.

Anyone hear if George Gruhn's store got hit in the flood? Paul Hamer Gruhn is okay. another worst is "thee storage area" for all nashville based acts, ex. Skynard, Gill, etc., the facility is gone, that means all there instruments in storage, all staging, all amps, all etc. is toast. Rumor is George Gruhn & Joe Glazer are teaming up to "service" those Artists in lost/ need of.... I see a diff take on it thou....
