That is absolutely fantastic. I’m over the moon for you. A great news story for the beginning of 2020. Is it going to be hung on a wall? Put in a cabinet for people to view? I hope it doesn’t remain cased under a bed!

I think really good examples of rare AND desirable Hamer's will always command a good price. The standard issue, repeatable stuff, may face some downward pressure.

Interesting. I’m not in buying mode right now but it hasn’t escaped me that there are some exquisite guitars for sale right now and a lot of these aren’t moving quickly.

I’ve just spent the last hour and a half trying to dial that tone in on my Axe FX 3. Really raw and bouncy and lovely when rolling off the volume.

I think the SLO sounds great! You’ve just got to love the charismatic Mike Soldano.

Biggest win can only be my Shishkov Super C 2. What really makes it special are the memories attached to me picking it up. A stop-off at house Shishkov and a road trip with Mike to Philadelphia to meet-up with Jim again for a shred-off and a great meal out discussing life and guitars. A fantastic long weekend. That aside the Axe FX 3 has been a lot of fun combined with the powered Friedman cab. Fails. Work’s been tough with the general election and Brexit but these things happen. Moving on in 2020 positively.

You Sir are my new hero. Wow!!

That's a lot of guitar for $850.

FWIW I love my T62. It’s no Strat in a conventional sense but “does Strat” reasonably well. Where the T62 excels is in its build quality and materials which are other worldly. The Birdseye neck for example. The preamp too also makes it a versatile tool. It provides a big difference in gain and EQ and for me becomes the solo switch. Whoever bought it will have fun.

I really enjoyed watching that video. Thanks for sharing. Gilbert is among the very best ever and his ever charming personality always makes me smile. Watching him play basketball was classic. 😀

Very sad news. A good friend of mine, a fellow guitarist, died The same way at 38. Watching him go was heartbreaking. The candle that burns twice as bright... RIP Neil Peart and thank you for the music.

Matey, sometimes it’s easy to forget about actually playing when engrossed in a guitar arms race. You CAN play. You know that. I know that. Practice is overlooked and very satisfying when it all comes together isn’t it? Personally I could do with a good theory instructional video as my theoretical knowledge is less than optimal.

Thanks for posting. This stuff interests me. I'll take a look later...

"Action adjustment: Medium or High" Mmm...

Oh my goodness. I’d probably faint walking around your guitar collection. Outstanding!
