Well done.

Zimm's and The Music Store...meh. I like Dave's idea. Go visit the MIM. It's fantastic - major collections of instruments with audio examples as you walk around in your wireless headphones. Maybe even see a show there. The concert hall is nice. Good food options out that way. Perhaps we should arrange an impromptu AZ HFC beer/meetup? Dave and I probably live ten minutes apart and have never met. I'm not sure I'd want to meet me though.

I'm not sure 'pretty special' quite covers it. Stunning.

JeffRo took mine. For such a large city we don't have much that I can recommend. Acoustic Vibes is a decent visit though. Most of the cool smaller shops in Phoenix have either closed or shifted way downrange in what they stock. McKnight used to have a decent shop, but one day I heard him talk to an employee in a way no human should treat another, and I lost all respect for the guy. They closed the store anyway and he seems to be focused on sharing his expertise online. Ziggy's was historically cool and would have been worth a visit, but they finally closed their doors in 2024. Bizarre Guitar & Drums has been around since the Stone Age and manages to keep the lights on. Rainbow Guitar in Tucson is still kicking as far as I know (edit: appointment only now, according to their website).

I don't like this thread.

I heard 7 from a pretty reliable inside source, but that also a couple of end-of-days custom orders may not have been counted. …and yours is the original catalog guitar. I am dumb, but also a nice guy.

Sorry to read this. Thank you for letting us know.

The 90 has a full centerblock and is otherwise the same dimensions. Also, damn. I think your other guitar covers the base well, so you probably want to just get that Hamer back to me.

Damnit. That checks most of my boxes. Nice guitar.

This makes me happy. Geoff has inspired me and deserves it. Good job, all. I had no idea or would have kicked in.

Good call.

Sell them. Edit to expand thought: You don’t play them and you have no plans to play them. Seems obvious to me unless you just want them as art or some sort of potential investment. For me, 100%, sell them. I realize that my opinion here will surprise no one.

Just buy it. Figure out the details later. That suit is you.

Beautiful specimen.

I feel exactly the same way.
