I'm new to the Hamer scene but was at the Columbus show today, I saw that Phantom A-7, that's a cool guitar!! Too many people around to get really close to it or ask about it. Wish I would have waited a little longer now! I too was disapointed in the dealer turnout, I'll bet there were at least 50 dealer tables less than normal. Whats funny is I see the same guitars there year after year, I am always looking for 80's Floyd rose equipped guitars and there is a dealer that has had a Sparkle custom paint Jackson there every year since I've been going. Never drops his price $1,250. Keep dreaming! He had a few Robin guitars at $850 that are twice the guitar the Jackson is! The only Hamer I found interesting was a Centaura, I've already got one of those. Oh well next year. Todd
