My Jetglo '79 4001 is still for sale:

I hope one of you guys got this. It's a great guitar.

That's one of the Hamers I really wanted when I first found this place. I ended up with a seafoam Daytona instead.

A few years ago I had a guy offer me something like $100 for a digital multi-effects I listed at $500 or so. When I said no he proceeded to message me a hundred times with all kinds of non-comparable units telling me I "had better" take his offer. I started getting smart with him and then he started CALLING through FB. Of course I never answered. Then he contacted MY WIFE through her craft business page and showed her my messages, explained to her I'm crazy (joke's on him - she already knew), and told her talking to people the way I was could get me hurt. Talk about fucking absolute RAGE. I found his home address online and was going to go down there (it was 2 hours away) and "explain" to him that he had gone too far, but luckily rational thought told me to call the local police instead. I did, and they paid him a visit, talking to me until they pulled up in front of his house. Never heard from him again.

I always loved the drum part in that one, and loved watching Clem play. Another great one gone.

lol Haven't seen that in years! Good excuse to watch it again.

What movie is that?

Somebody had to say it.

I don't! I had to borrow about 10. Sold that one last week. 😥

I thought it was just me. If I start a video and see it's 20 or 30 minutes long, I randomly hit a few points in it to see if I'm going to sit through that. 95% of the time, it's a no. And if I start a video and the first thing the person in it does is casually take a drink of water, I close it so fast you can practically hear the computer window slam.

Bump with price reduction.

You're looking for a rare bird there, no pun intended. I don't know if your FB currently has no case or if it has one and you're just looking to get authentic Hamer case, but if it doesn't have a case and you're looking to at least have some protection for it I have a gig bag that my Greco Firebird came in that I'm willing to sell.

Love that grain. GLWTS!

You may have seen my posts here about having a stroke in January 2024, battling back to being able to play again, and then having another stroke in July. But you also may have seen also my posts looking for a korina Vector for YEARS. I always thought the asking prices were more than I wanted to spend so I kept passing them up. One I had been watching was reduced in price about a week after my second stroke and then while I was mulling it over got reduced again! Twice in the span of about a week. Stupid, overconfident me bought it thinking I would be able to play again in a few weeks like the first time, which has unfortunately not been the case. I can barely even form a chord since and I certainly can't PLAY anything. At least I can say I owned one at one time and I love looking at it.

I watched it a couple of weeks ago. The part with the kid who was a big Richie Sambora fan was heartbreaking.

I've been very surprised it's lasted as long as it has already! It's gotten the most interest out of everything I'm selling. I'm trying to blame it on listing it pre-Christmas.

The tire kickers have been out in full force on this one but when it's time to "show me the money" they turn into Casper. Bump.

Lots of interest, nobody pulled the trigger. I hate to take it to Reverb so I'm giving it another try here first.

I guess one bump 2 months later is not too much, is it? Still available.

I stopped by BCR twice over the years and had a great time talking to him. I was looking forward to the next time I might have found myself up his way when he got out and started doing the repairs exclusively and then Platzer Guitars. IIRC, he also closed his For Sale threads with "Game over." when someone bought a guitar he had posted.

OK, I'll be the dissenting voice. I hate it. I like these when they retain the original chord changes and melodies and just change the style, but many of these (like this one) don't. If it weren't for the lyrics no one could even guess what those songs are by listening to the music. There's an older black guy that used to do videos where he gets into every song he hears in the grocery store and I was impressed by his taste and musical knowledge. I liked watching him and then he started doing these "What if Metallica (or whatever band he chooses) were Yacht Rock?" videos and I absolutely can't stand them. Again, no resemblance to the original song whatsoever except the lyrics.

The membership here bears this out. 🤪

What's the acoustic voice like?

Asking $2800 plus actual shipping. Also on Reverb for more to cover fees. Looks great, sounds great, bone stock, original case, very little play time. To make sure I had the specs exactly right, I sent the serial number to PRS and this is what they said: 2011 Custom 24, with a figured Maple 10-top, Mahogany back, Mahogany neck, with a Pattern Thin profile, East Indian Rosewood fretboard, bird inlays, PRS Tremolo bridge, 59/09 pickups, finished in Black Cherry, with nickel hardware.
