It's taking shape. Nice HFC logo appears at the top end. Would it make sense to add a shopping link to address funding on memorability sales? The T-Shirts and mugs I bought recently are quite nice. I'd recommend the link centered between the logo and search at the top.

A whole bunch of deleted mails came back to the message box.

Fiddled with the new version a bit. I have the impression the layout could be more compact. There is quite a lot of visual space taken for no function with the current layout template. We are frequently returning users who require efficiencies. Other than that, the new version offers new features that will need to be discovered for usefulness. Thanks again.

Looks really great. Gotta find all the new features. Many thanks and congrats to a superb job.

At the end of the day it is all about sound. If you mess with the sound, experiment with pickups. If you mess with pickups swap the guitar. Don't hesitate to test a wide range of pickups, even if it eventually becomes a Jazz guitar. At least you would find out what's best sounding on the wood. (Which was the case with my MIK Standard) You cannot change the wood. You can only change the body or the whole guitar. To make clear why only a few people here have knowledge about wood. On a budget guitar like the XT line or Slammer Series line no one typically questions the wood and/or the production numbers are as high that no one would ever have an overview, not even Hamer wood would. For the US made Hamers speaking, knowledge is more detailed due to the nature of custom orders and the nature of a custom shop as a whole. Finally, and that is a great outcome of this thread, Asian alder is different to US Alder or even European Alder. The same applies to other woulds woods.

The body is certainly not made of one piece. Does that lead to any decision?

Virtually for me. At least I can say I'd bought an item. Once in a while I cruise the website.

You are charming Zen. I'm gonna ask my drummer for the brushes. His name is Dr. Rhythm.

It happens after a hard working day that I sit there in my little room relaxing with my new guitar in hands playing a slow blues improvisation against a Dr. Rhythm before going to bed. I thought to share a late evening moment with you. Head and tail trimmed a bit. Other than that it's a rough cut improvisation with all implications. Guitar is my new Red Special Bo Diddley played straight into a Vox AC-15 H1TVL dimmed with a Weber. Recorded with an H2. I think I played the neck pickup only. Pick is a brass Indonesian 50 Rupiah. Rise the volume to experience dynamics. http://soundcloud.com/gorch_de/slowbluesjam It turned out to become exactly tree minutes with no fiddy. Perfect cut so to say. Enjoy!

Alles Gute mein Lieber.

My favorites are LeoSound P90s, hand wound excellence. http://leosounds.de/EN/p90_soapbar_en.html

I've seen all the new XT models at Frankfurt Musikmesse 2011. They are all stunning and are perfectly crafted. The prices are excellent. It couldn't be a better deal in that league.

Shitty shit. These guitars create lust.

Alles Gute!

Very nice story of a dedicated professional being deadly tied to the never-change-a-running-system strategy finally coming to new life. You never stop to learn. Congrats Kev. Keep us posted about your first life experiences with the new pup. Cheers!

Order received two days ago. Large coffee mug and Stein look nice. I haven't had them in the washer yet. Tees look nice and seem to be of reasonable quality. Hopefully, they stand the washing machine.

That's freeking cool!

I'll go and give it a check on German washing machines. I'm not bothering for 10 bugs for a shirt. Better quality would be nice and appreciated, but it sure will work as is this time. My worries are that there are enough affiliate profits coming out to fund the board's expenses. So keep buying ya ol Hamer Fancluppers.

That puts a relation to acid doesn't it? I wonder that Brooks and Punkavenger can remember.

It's better than nothing I think. And a great job too. I made my order of a coffee mug, stein, and 2 tees. 350 is a must have. It would have been nice to have more colors to choose from for some of the tees.

Got in!

The double neck is only $20k per neck. I'd say it doesn't qualify for the league.

Personally, I enjoy reading the blog once in a while. Many things are out of reach to me like cars, yachts, houses etc. Why not guitars? I don't mind him caching in after many years of business. I do thank him for the nice Hamer guitars I am proud to own and enjoy to play. I've dug the Newport out after holidays. It's such a great guitar. Btw. We have crows in the neighborhood. Don't need it in the house anyway.

I can't believe anyone knows After the Fire. It just came to my mind I still have two records, Laser Love and 80-F. Last time listening? At least 20 years ago. 1980-F was my favorite at the time. Der Kommissar came later I think. I remember it has been aired quite a lot at the time.

Worth every dime. Three of them make a good living. Would be a nice job for me too.
