I was going to say something similar...the Porsche really can be used as a daily driver and be reliable and last forever with very little maintenance compared to a Ferrari. A Ferrari V12 going through a tunnel, though......mmmmmmmmm! Back on topic..... -
I think that's called Bozo Burst.

I'm happy Mike's business is off to a ROUSING start, but I wonder if part of him is saying: " HOLY F*CK! What did I just get myself into? I had no idea there would be this much interest!" Regardless, what a great problem to have when starting a new business.

Does Anybody Live Near Chesterfield, VA?
aknapp replied to Jackass's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I used to live in Glen Allen (northwest of Richmond). Lots of interesting things to see in Central VA: - Poe Museum in downtown Richmond - Petersburg National Battlefield - Charlottesville is an hour away - don't take the interstate - Colonial Williamsburg is 45 min. away - Busch Gardens - go in October for the Halloween festivities - Virginia Beach/Newport News is about 90 minutes away on a good day - NASCAR fan? Richmond International Raceway is on the other side of town - Sports Car fan? Virginia International Raceway is just outside Danville - about 2 hours away. - Short Pump Field Day of the Past, if you like old farm equipment (cooler than it might sound). - Innsbruck After Hours is an outdoor music venue in Innsbruck Office Park - Wed. or Thur. night concerts Someone else will need to clue you in about the drugs and hookers! -
Sssshhhhhh.....Unka Greg needs da bizness!

It's easy to get confused about the import Hamer line as there have been several, and some are much better than others. In general, for import Hamers, the headstock tells it all: 1. "Hamer Slammer Series" were made in Korea (MIK) and generally regarded as the best of the imports. 2. "Hamer" were also MIK and well-regarded 3. "Hamer XT Series" are either made in China (MIC) or Indonesia (MII). 4. "Slammer by Hamer" were made somewhere (MIC?). These are listed in the generally accepted order of fit and finish, playability, and overall quality. #1 and #2 are excellent value for the money. Many people (including me) start with one of these, and move on to USA made Hamers. #3's are a bit hit-and-miss, there are some dogs and there are some good ones. #4's are bottom-of-the-barrel, avoid-at-all-cost imports. If $300 is your budget, stick with #1 or #2. As said before, while guitars in #1 and #2 are very good, and generally better than almost all import Epiphone's, Squire's, etc., there is a noticeable difference these and a US-made Hamer. No comparison between USA Fender or USA Gibson and USA Hamer. The USA F or G are factory made, and even the custom shops from F or G can have some dogs. USA Hamers are true master-luthier custom-shop grade guitars. It is possible to find 1. US Hamer Eclipse 6-string for $500-$600 (mini-humbuckers) 2. US Hamer Special from the '90's forward for $600-$800 (P90's or std humbuckers) 3. US Hamer Studio or Artist for $750-$1000 depending on top and condition. 4. US Daytona (Strat) for $700-$1000 5. US T51 (Tele) for $600-$1000 These are EXCEPTIONAL values for a used guitar - well worth a lit extra saving to get one, and especially if you by from an HFC'r. Hang out, learn from the experts here (there are many) - They know their sh*t!

Intonation? What's that?

U.S. Domestic flights advice please.
aknapp replied to RichRS6's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
It might be cheaper to have it shipped to the hotel you are staying at in New York. Just a thought.... -
THIS! with a choice of pickups - HB, P90, even, dare I say, single coils!

Favorite bands you'd never admit to
aknapp replied to woodpile's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
A lot of my friends didn't care for ELO, but they were/are one of my favorite bands. Time Tour '81 was my first concert ever; it was Halloween, Hall & Oates was the opening act, so there were LOTS of chicks, and half of them were dressed like Pat Benetar! -
