  1. The Artisian was essentially an SG with a carved top and was quite affordable. I snagged an Avalon flat top with P-90s on eBay but the neck felt cumbersome, so I traded it in on a Koa-topped Mirage. Bart couldn't sell a Hamer so he was willing to deal. Traded a Fender solid-state reverb for a set of dual-calibrated strat pickups which are still in it.
  2. I was at the counter at Rockin Robin when Billy Gibbons walked up with a purchase order for a Robin Artisian, a very nice Japanese-made guitar. The 10 inch radius didn't suit me so I didn't buy a Savoy (spelling?) that was beautiful, with the Barbque bucker that guitar was smoking hot.
  3. You beat me to it! That was my first Hamer and was stolen, I bought a second one which I sold for some reason. Those guitars glow in the dark when playing in a dimly lit club..
  4. I have the same exact guitar and I love it, especially the tiny neck (I have short fingers). Just a few years ago it was $700 on Reverb, not anymore.
  5. I saw a lot of Robins in Houston, the 10-inch radius was a deal breaker for me.
  6. All this reminds me of several recent doingss on ebay. I was ripped off by a guy who ran up a high feedback score by selling baseball card for about 75 cents each, he sent me a non-working item, about $125, had promised refund to anyone not satisfies, ect. I thought it was an honest foul up and applied for a refund from payapl which I eventually recieved. I thought the guy had died or something,but I caught on to the fact that he was still selling on ebay and had simply changed paypal accounts, when I notified paypal the aparently shup him down, not before he robbed some old lady of her christmas cash. I think he was expecting to be able to sell a lot more before being shut down, I read about software being marketeted that looks for these trends. The other item is I exchanged emails with a guy who sold me a couple of NOS military grade 12at7's, I was stunned to find that he had mailed the tubes before my postal money order reached him, something made him feel I was honest. He and ebay are suing a person who buys items and then claims to not have recieved them, he was basicially harassing sellers until they gave him free stuff. My take is that this guy is trying to extort you, you're allowed a couple of business days to arrange shipping, also you're entitled to make sure a paypal payment clears your bank before shipping, I stipulated that on a recent sale of vintahe hi-fi gear because I thought it might go overseas. The buyer ended up being a us resident with lots of paypal and ebay history so I sent it off, I'll know in a couple of days if it worked out. I thimk you have two choices, stand firm or call his bluff by offering a refund for everything but the shipping.
