I think my regrets are more about the ones I didn't buy than the ones I let go too soon. Way too many to list.

Thank you. That's going to be fun.

IIRC The Red Zen is close to the original Robin Ford Zen. The Black Magic Zen is way more gain.

Thanks. But I don't think it would help. I can see what is obvious, and if I pull the chassis out of the box I will get better pics.

Socket. Not retainer. pics too big for this site

I bought a used Super Sonic 22 off Reverb/Musicians Friend and it arrived DOA. Poking around it looks as though V1 is cattywampus. I'm thinking poor packing and FedEx gorillas allowed the footswitch to move around and it hit the V1 tube case knocking it off a bit, not completely loose. I do get a bit of a glow when powered on. My question is, can a fumble thumbed simi idiot resolder or replace the socket himself? Fair soldering skills. Changed a few switches in pedals. Installed quite a few pickups, switches and caps in guitars over the years. Asking because I don't think there is a reliable tech in my area anymore and shipping costs are killer. As are shippers in general. AMHIK

NICE! Still showing at Reverb shop, but CME's site says #2 was somebody's #1 choice.

I don't think we missed much "I'm giving away my Hamer guitar including a matching leather bag and a songbook. She is looking for a new home with someone who enjoys making music. - Brand: Hamer - Including black leather bag with red lining - Including songbook Currently, two strings are defective, so the guitar would have to be repaired or restringed. It's ideal for hobbyists or someone with experience who wants to make it sound again. If you are interested, I look forward to hearing from you."

Great guitar. Somebody is going to get a good deal on this one.

Thanks Ted. We'd be lost without you.

My guitar broke a string, so I bought a new guitar. Someone told me you can just change the string. I wish they’d mentioned that about 48 guitars ago.

Pretty good Dumbleish pedal. If you are interested, be sure to get the V2 model as the V1 wasn't quite up to the task.

Do you think if Hamer USA had lasted another 10 years, we might find more interesting things to discuss?

My personal experience has been that I do less dumb stuff stoned than I do drunk. But TBH, I've done some really dumb shit drunk.

I'm having a bad week already, so I'm not even going to look.

There's another guy hangs around here that makes those things. Does a pretty good job I've been told. You might give him a call. Humbuckers – Carondelet Guitar and Bass Pickups

I don't keep up with all the newer brands and offers but I think the Bare Knuckles Yard bird neck pup would work pretty well at that task. Great for blues and supposed to be terrific for jazz.

I got an offer that reduced asking price by $500. Out of my league. Too heavy, too many strings and too much $$. But if I were bigger, stronger and richer I would consider it. edit: I forgot Younger.

Nothing new here. Gibson built "long scale" guitars 25 or 30 years ago. Nobody cared. You can buy Nighthawks and Blueshawks for about $1500 or so on Reverb and ebay anytime if you are curious. I never found a Nighthawk that stayed around but I do like my '06 Blueshawk.

Stolen pic. Happy 4th.

Not to me. 🙁 But I'm afraid it's going to be one of those I always wish I had.

Don't remember seeing any others in this color. Very nice, seems like a fair price. Hamer Custom Shop Artist Custom (2004) - Transparent Teal #53727 with Original Hard Case | Reverb
