Your Amazon.com order of "The Ultimate Hamer Guitars..." has shipped! I should have it 8/6, really cool! There was originally some talk about getting a signed/numbered book plate for those of us that ordered the book through an outside vendor. Is this still an option?

I'd like to be added to the signed copy / bookplate list. I pre-ordered my copy on Amazon yesterday. Can't wait to get it! Order #102-0296726-8336278 - Coble

I just received a cashiers check today from Roshark for my beautiful Artist mahogany. It just makes me think how cool it is that two guys with similar interests, but geographically separated, can make something happen. I wish other things in this world could happen with the same element of trust. This world would be a better place!

Thanks, I always thought it was ash, but I read so many comments about super heavy Daytonas. So, I wasn't sure. Is alder more consistent, with the greater variance in weight with ash bodies?

The picture below is the body of the '95 trans-blue Daytona I have for sale. The wood grain appears to be ash, but I just weighed it, and it comes in at 7.85 lbs on a postal scale. This seems contrary to most peoples experience and comments on this board with ash Daytonas. I would like to get your opinion of what the body wood is, ash or alder? Thanks, James

Thanks for the update. I just did the same thing. They tried to fight me on the $250 gift card. They are capping the offer at $100 now. But originally the offer was called the "holiday price match." It was for an additional gift card for 50% of the price match. It took over half an hour on the phone to finagle the full $250.

A wine red midtown on the way. I knew I should stay off the computer today! DaveL, thanks for the Mr. Rebates link.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...

"Ice Cream Man" with gibberish....and I love VH. Although, last 15 seconds sounded really interesting!!!

Sounds good. Nice vocals too! Video would be cool.

Here are my beloved Daytonas. The trans-blue Daytona is a '95. It is all original with the exception of a Duncan SSL-5 in the bridge. The sea foam Daytona is a '97. It is all original. The color isn't a true sea foam any more; it has a really cool patina. The true bright sea foam can be seen in the trem cavity. I bought my first Daytona new in 1996. It was a trans-purple with pearloid pg and maple neck. Unfortunately, I sold it long ago when times were tight. But these two beauties have taken its place.
