Hamer USA Sunburst Archtop. Got it from the factory when I have a B endorsement with these guys. I am the only owner of this great playing and sounding guitar. Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and a 59 in the neck from the factory. Asking for $2300 includes shipping and PayPal fees.

Dang, wish I was going with Jon for that one.

…if anyone wants to stop by and mock me and/or Jon Kammerer Customs guitars.

eh, pickguards are cheap. You could re-accomplish that the way you wanted to.

okay, I'm going to edit THIS one

The occasion for pulling out the CD ths time is I've decided to add GH to my Neo-Swing rotation. Along with Squirrel Nut Zippers, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Brian Setzer, and the swing subset from Cherry Poppin Daddies. Yeah, I know, it's not an exact fit, but it's the closest classification I can get. Moreover, when I'm in a new-swing mood, GH still scratches that itch. If I had a "horn band" folder, like for some of the Chicago songs, the Ides of March, Earth Wind Fire & Rain, etc., *maybe* I'd put it there, but a) I don't have such a folder, and b) the tuba really puts GH closer to Dixiland/jazz than R&B, which is really about as close to neo-swing as Stray Cats and some of the hot jazz Squirrel Nut Zippers did. I'd say while the horns are a common factor, and "Vehicle" is yet another common point that could almost be a Chicago song, it just seems to me that Chicago, et al, use horns differently than the neo-swing, and I guess I just feel like GH is closer to the jazz side of musical heredity than R&B. I'm open to arguments I'm wrong, tho.

LOL I get it now! I was thinking it looked a lot like a Talledega with those 3 in-line knobs, and I don't remember ever talking much about those.

Man, when kiz slags your typos... ...well, I think I'll just choose to see it as hilariously ironic.

No. What it is? I cant read the headstock. Is it something you have for sale?

I have the CD (that's what I pull out to play), but I couldn't find any place that had one for sale.

Still a great album. I guess there is no universal music that appeals to everyone. That being said, if you haven't listened to it, there's a good chance you're missing out on something you'll enjoy. https://www.amazon.com/music/player/artists/B001AJE4MK/generic-hustle

Thanks for this. it IS really good. The only part I'll disagree with you on is this photo IS concentrated badassery.

I'm really struggling to accept that "budget" lines like LTD and Sterling have a bunch of guitars priced over $1k, and even some over $2k (I just checked). Particularly since brand new Fender Stratocasters are now selling for as cheap as $650 (okay, MIM, but still...not Squier).
