You won the day!

Kluges Kerlchen! 😉 At least, it stays in the family, as we here use to say.

...and gone this morning. Forget it, please.

HI fellas, in German Kleinanzeigen popped up today, just 2 hrs ago: A complete Sustainblock-Trem in parts, off of a Hamer A5, as the seller says. https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/sustainblock-tremolo-hamer-a5-/3525075818-74-1178 No affiliation, but I would assist, if anybody feeks like making some wobbles. Cheers, Jochen

Noch so ein alter, treuer Fachblatt-Leser wie ich. Danke für das Faksimile.

+1 for "Where's my Guitar?" Very well & entertainingly written, astonishing facts and details about a very humble man amidst one of the most exciting times of musical history in his own words. Also, watch these 2 Anderton's interviews with Bernie

And: There is still another one from 1981 for below 2k Euros. Looks like it needed some TLC, though... https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/hamer-vector-flying-v-gitarre-1981/3493964339-74-9179

I saw that ad, too, and was thinking of my (long ago sold) 83 Vector in similar condition. But I don't dig the Body form, mainly playing seated. Congratulations and: May they be PLAYED LOUD!

I said it once before: vintagey ennobled.

After taking over Norman's Rare Guitars, too, Carter Vintage seems to be THE AUThORITY in vintage guitars. Not only USA-wide. So, finally, a T 51 from 1990 gets ennobled being worthy to be sold by Carter online: https://cartervintage.com/shop/hamer-t-51-1990s-blonde/3DgbM43L6XnCYvLu3kMScgZhX0s?utm_campaign=12566845-Latest+Arrivals+Newsletter&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=421831865&utm_content=421831865&utm_source=hs_email Enjoy!

Aha, Mr. Dave keeps re-patriating old wood. Cheers & good luck Jochen

Just google the text and you'll find what I think he meant: https://reverb.com/item/57310360-hamer-sunburst-1977-sunburst Only downside: Ad is 4 years old, item sold. So what.

As a tribute and for a lil' dough: Explorer at Carter Vintage

What puzzles me a lot more, is the amount of shoes and feet pictured often, when people are just trying to sell a guitar.

On German Kleinanzeigen showed up a red 87 Scarab. Autographed in silver reading sth. like „Sammy Hagar“. Could have been SH's guitar once, could have been, he just signed that guitar once along the way. Who knows. Seller asks 10 Grand (Euros, not USD!). If anybody's really interested, I could assist (same city). Look for yourself: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/hamer-sammy-hagar-red-scarab-signatur-e-guitar-80s/3328157303-74-6424

I LOVE this tiny trapeze inlay above the last fret!

Every picture tells a story – fine story here. Thanx for that find.

Nothing new, but he's collected and understood, prolly even read, what's mentioned also in The Book. Plus some more interesting stories about guitars and their makers on that blog. Thanx!

Well done, mate. So, finally: Welcome to the club!

Even good hippies have to die someday – a simple truth, but very sad! I liked his music and his humour a lot.

Hmmm, I always thought it'd be about NOT being a Dick?

Sounds interesting/promising. Thanx!

Over the years, it's always been warming my heart, how people here really care for each other: Even in terms of NOT willing to be portraited. But not only that. HFC truly seems to be one of not that many real brethren congregations on the interwebs. (BTW: Are there any sisters, too?) Feels good to be a small part of that.

Mais oui, Monsieur! But not for sale, you'll understand.

I see, you love 3-screwhole-TRCs. You're a man of taste!
