Standard Appreciation Thread

Damn YOU!!!! When did you snag that one? That one kept begging me to buy every time it came up and somehow I keep missing it. There must be a reason...

Yeah, I'm not as stealthy and dangerous as I used to be when it comes to buying every desirable Hamer that comes up for sale, but I still have my moments.

This Standard has balls like church bells, has a slightly larger than usual neck and plays like a dream, but what I like about it most is that it's not like all of the others out there. I had been chasing it for a few years, but it came around to me instead.

I won't say that "I'll never say it," but I predict that I'll have it for a long while.

 
Anyone know who has this long lost Standard (This is why I try not to get rid of anything anymore)

very nice..are Mahstands less common than their flame topped brethren?

Yep, and under rated. They usually bring around and some times under 1k. I LOVE mine more than my 4 digit and it s a great guitar. Between my 77 Sunburst and my 96 Standard its pretty much a tie but they are two flavors as well.

/emoticons/default_smile.png Nice typo.

Actually, I wasn't there when I bought my guitars. All remote via Ebay. Stop! Local pickup for the Standard Custom and cash payment. I am with ya. /emoticons/default_cool.png

I can't believe Gene hasn't held his own FL Jam!! I mean I like Shag Carpeting as much as the next guy. /emoticons/default_ohmy.png

I need to get a picture up of my Mahogany Standard. It is one of the finest sounding guitars.

 
Just found out that Foghat is going to be at Peoria's 4th fo July Bash! Time to get the Old 4 digit cleaned and tuned up. Maybe I can get access to Charley Huhn some how. /emoticons/default_dry.png

Foghat signed autographs at their merchandise table after a show in my area a few years ago.
