What's a good blues/jazz neck pickup for Tele?
Hbom replied to hamerhead's question in Ask the HFC Experts
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. -

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.

PSA: Custom Shop Artist

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

Random (Music and Guitar Related) Thoughts Thread

Remember folks, if you blow off a finger this weekend, you'll still be able to play guitar but you'll have to practice way harder! -
Prices are up on most everything lately and his are still reasonable. I couldn't tell you what's inside a guitar center. edit: TBH I tend to think in terms of how much I paid and not current retail price. So, Bubs is correct in prices being up. OTOH I don't know many who buy LPs at retail. Most of us buy at the sales on Saturday night and save 30-50% off. Jubilee-$50. Amp11-$85, Echophonics-$49.45, No Gen5. but probably 50Boner at the time it was available. Can you buy better pedals? Sure. Would I sound any better with a currently unobtainable Burn Unit? Probably not.

For a parttime working musician like yourself I suppose that is a fair assessment of Lovepedals. But for a fumble thumbed old fart goofing in his cave, I have to say that there are lots of options available for 3-5 times as much money as my Lovepedals. Sort of like saying I could get similar results if I replaced my MIM Tele with a Suhr Classic T.

Looking for recommendations for a luthier to chamber a guitar
Hbom replied to jginsj's question in Ask the HFC Experts
Better than a drill. pic came with a fine example of an American made guitar, so it must be good. -
Not sure why these guys call it MANNMADE, it appears original. It's not mine and I'm not guaranteeing. Been on ebay forever so you might make an offer. 80’s Hamer MANNMADE USA Sustain Block Guitar Bridge Chrome 2 Point | eBay

Nice pic. And don't feel too bad, most of the music world never realized how friggin great they are. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones.

FS 93 Hamer special P90 Tobacco burst
Hbom replied to alextazy's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
Nice deal. I found a '92 version a few years ago. Bought intending to flip, but I like it so much it has turned into one of my most played. Neck is a bit less than my 95-96 Studios but not at all skinny. GLWTS somebody will be getting a great deal. -
It's not just ebay. I tried to get US Customs to go after that ebay seller and was told they couldn't/wouldn't do anything.

I will never understand why eBay, or anyone else, allows counterfeit items to be sold on their site and refuses to remove them when told that they are obvious fakes. One of the reasons I'll never spend money on eBay again.
