I find new stuff from Spotify’s algorithms all the time. I had paid for my kids accounts for a few years before I asked what it was. The idea of being able to find all my favs so easily surprised me. First time I tried it I picked a song for them to play during a long car ride. Then it started to automatically pick a bunch of my other favorites automatically. It was spooky. This was at least 20 years ago. I find lots of obscure stuff I love.

Thanks for the reviews. This Boomer will be trying them for the first time.

Are these good? Never tried them. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/ghs-light-electric-guitar-boomers-12-pack-box/l99304000001000?irclickid=y7AQ8R1TOxycU1nVIgRcNy3xUkpxOrzfPVZkXM0&irpid=2237075&irmpname=VerticalScope Inc.&source=3ACJWXX2&irgwc=1

And their return policy makes it risk free with a long try out period. Good PSA.

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

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.

The tuners have "Deluxe" and a small S on them..Schallers I assume? Not the clearest shot..all I've got.

Good info, thanks. No paperwork of any kind came with the guitar..guitar and case, that's it. Do you have your bridge backed out some with the set screws towards the bottom of the guitar? Without engaging the set screws I wouldn't be able to intonate it.

How can you tell? Congrats Pete. Great score and super deal. So you now approve of the headstock? After you made fun of it I almost abandoned my pursuit. You've been spending too much time with the Heritage guys me thinks Thanks Mike.

I'd be interested in any history on the guitar. The seller only had it a few months. I'll pm you with the sn if you'd like to have a look.. Will do. In the for sale thread you had asked how I would rate if for jazz applications, I never got back to you. I'm no jazz player but I noodle a little. I guess any guitar can be used for jazz but with that said, this would not be my first choice, This thing is great if you want to dig in for whatever application. The action is not super low, but even played acoustically, I can dig in and it just rings out buzz free. Hope that's some help. Thanks again for all the kind words, it is in the HFC fold now FWIW.

I'll kiss and tell, he went down to $900 over the phone and to $875 because I drove to his location. And because he "hates CL". This will be a keeper for sure.

Thanks G Man. Really I'm not sure what the pickup is or what they were using in 2004..assuming it's a hot Duncan..it reminds me some of the ones I had in my 93. I'll pull it out when I change strings and look. I love my Wolftones (Mean and Meaner) in my 93 Special so much, I'm tempted to just get a Meaner and install it but maybe I'll get something a little different..open to suggestions. I like vintage tones with some balls if that's any help. Edit: Ha, just occurred to me that to replace "pickups" in a Jr you only have to buy one..cool

This was posted in the for sale section as a PSA CL deal in NJ (thanks hamerhead). I already have a 93 P90 Special and never heard of one of these and though it would be redundant to what I already have but I kept hearing "great deal," "these are different" etc etc. Who am I to disagree? The owned had just bought a Gibson 335 Dave Grohl or something for big bucks and was selling 3 guitars including this one. He had a VOS CS Gibbie LP Jr that he returned because he said this one was better FWIW. He even came down in price from the already (supposedly as per members here) low price. Never even plugged it in, I knew right away it was good. Just tested the truss rod before buying. This thing is different. Never had a Jr of any kind, or a wrap tail set up or a Korina guitar so three firsts for me. It rings loud,acoustically, has a great neck carve with some meat to it and is just a cool piece, love the build quality (no surprise) and the general vibe. It is in great shape, no fret wear, some body dings that you can't really see due to the finish, they blend in, the neck has no dings. Good action, no buzzes etc. I love to play it unplugged, just feels alive if that makes sense. It is pretty too, great grain. The bridge I believe is a Pig Tail. I haven't had the strings off yet to look at the bottom (the installed strings were even my regular D Addario .010s and appear fresh). I had to tweak the bridge some, it was on a slant and I couldn't intonate the low E with the saddle adjustment. Scratched my head a little, could find no set up tips for a Pig Tail. I saw that there were set screws at either stud and the treble side of the bridge was much closer to the nut then the bass side. I kinda evened it out and brought the bass side back some and I was able to intonate it. So I assume that's what the set screws are there for. I am curious what other bridges other owners are using ...this one will do for now I'm sure. Did these ever come with this type of bridge? The one on the Hamer catalog is different. The sound would cut out from time to time, assumed a bad connection in the jack or solder joint or something, but the interior jack nut was loose, tightened it up and it's been fine since..not sure how that could cause it but so far so good. Not totally sold on the P90, I assume it's stock. I gave the hot Duncans in my 93 Special a few years before swapping them out for Wolfetones (love em) I'll give this one a chance. The pots do have useful sweeps which help a lot. Anyhow here it is.. will swear off the Used gear section here as this is my 2nd local Hamer I have been led to in the last month..

I'm in, thanks Thorn..think I'm the first poster there..that and $3 will get me on the subway.

I ordered one, saw that they said only order one but they had like 900 in stock so I snuck another..they charged me for two but only sent one..payback? They take 2032s like the snark, actually they appear just like the snark at first glance/ I get the batteries on Amazon. They sell sheets of them really cheap/

I just did that yesterday, put a Catswhisker WRHB in my 72 Tele Custom RI and installed a mini toggle and hooked up a mini pot ii had around in series with the split connection to ground.. Left the wires long enough to reach under the pickguard. Tested the pot first and found that one full turn equaled about 1 k ohms. Plugged in the guitar and found that the best tone was around 2k. Thanks for the idea. 16 screws in the frigging pickguard.

cool, thanks Austin. I guess you could even use a pot, for more options.

Austin, this idea is really interesting me. I'm soon going to be doing my first coil split mod to a single humbucker using a mini toggle SPDT switch. Haven't received the pickup yet (Catswhisker WRHB) so not sure which of the below schematics I'll use (one is a south coil split and one is a north coil split). Any idea where I would put the resistor? Between the south start and ground?

Wow, great ideas. I'm about to do my first coil split mod..thanks for the info.
