    Me too I still have the Newport with the Seth Lover in the bridge I got from him in NJ many moons ago. Sorry to hear about the health issues. I’m in that camp as well. And good karma for helping the vets.

    Last I looked they had a great return policy too. No risk. 45 days for non vintage stuff

    Try searching snakes.

    Love that top and finish. I have an h150 with Stormy Monday’s. Sunsetburst. Paid $1,350 back in the day.

    Nice looking rosewood fretboard. Hamer got the good wood

    Cool. Is that Studio Aztec Gold? Looks just like mine other than mine has a cover on the bridge pickup.

    To state the obvious, It’s beautiful. Never saw that finish on a Hamer before.

    Regarding Chinese guitars, Eastman has done me well. I have three of their acoustics all bought used on CL. Two OM sized .. an E20 OM and a top of the line 812S (slot neck with wonderful top of the line wood and cosmetic touches). Paid like $750 each in great condition. I also got an Eastman acoustic with pickup a 712Ac model probably 8 years ago Used like new. It was a warranty replacement.. back then and maybe still they stood by their products. Its a larger body type. Kind of like the Taylor 712. I actually met the seller at a GC acoustic guitar room and compared it to that Taylor. The Eastman sounded much better for less than half the price. Beautiful wood and build quality. Some of the jazz guys love their jazz boxes too. I’ve only bought one new guitar in recent decades. In 2012 Sam Ash had a blow out sale of new American Standard Strats. Two colors Candy Cola or Charcoal Frost. Came with Fat 50s pickups. Went to two stores tried maybe 12 of em. Got a nice RW board Charcoal Frost for $750. Other than that I always buy used. Even cars going forward so many new ones are shite and so expensive.

    Or short and long term pain. Hard to watch.

    I put the Wolfetone Meaner in my Korina Jr as well. And the Mean / Meaner set in my Special. Great choice. Someone should grab this.

    Well there is a 48 month payment plan. And, as per the ad, the tone is “luxurious “.

    I don't want to go public on this but I used Paul/Unk  for years, gave up on him probably 6 years ago after some issues. Gave him another shot about two years ago, a simple nut replacement. The first one was really bad, buzzing on all open strings. He took it back (wasn't too happy either) and did another one. The edges were sticking out and the G string was cut lower than the B so the G was buzzing and the strings were buried deep in a too high nut. I just took it home. Never again. Another guy just posted on TGP about problems with Unk too. His turn around is fast though FWIW. It's sucks too because he is like 10 minutes from me. He was really good back in the day. He rants and raves too but that would not bother me if his work was good. Billy Penn is near Unk, I'd go to him first, I hear good things.

    Ultimate beach / guitar picture there^^. Watch the damn sand. This is a great story in general..happy for all you new owners and happy for Mr Shiskov. Any word on other possible body styles to come? Maybe I can extract myself from the low rent, but very satisfying CL rut I've been in.
