musicman Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Anyone looking to sell or trade their Triple Threat - I'm looking.Thanks
BadgerDave Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 $2K plus shipping. Price is firm. I can take PayPal if you add 3%. The guitar is exceptionally nice, light and sounds/plays/looks better than any '59 RI LP I've experienced. Original case and certificate included. One tiny ding on the back edge, not through the finish, otherwise as close to mint as a used guitar can be. e-mail me at david.owen@mchsi.com for more info and photos.
tomteriffic Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Bump for a square-deal kind of guy, a straight shooter and a man of impeccable taste. What Dave says, you can bank on.
JohnnyThunders Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Badger is the man, buy with confidence from Dave.
MCChris Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Badger is the man, buy with confidence from Dave. Especially at that price. Wow!
BadgerDave Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 (Blushing) Thanks for the support, guys.The checks are in the mail.The deal is done and Mike's going to be really happy with the Triple Threat. I don't believe Hamer has made a finer "production" guitar. I played a half dozen of these at Dave's Guitars and every one was a gem.Someday soon I'm going to be asking about a custom order made to TT specs with a few tweaks, like a chamber, ebony, crowns and 6 ply binding.
MCChris Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 I was kidding.Dave's a prick. Big time. But he won't screw someone over on an internet deal.

sirDaniel Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Badger fan, here. Better not let all your PENN ST. friends know that..
BadgerDave Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 I was kidding.Dave's a prick. I said "production" model, Greg. That was secret code for "except for the BCR Juniors". Geez, did ya leave your decoder ring at home today?
BCR Greg Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 That wasn't the point. Leaving me at a motel with no money or pants, in the dead of winter.....Prick.
Guest galejt Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 That wasn't the point. Leaving me at a motel with no money or pants, in the dead of winter..... BINGO!Badger Dave is my new hero...

I played a half dozen of these at Dave's Guitars and every one was a gem."What features do you think made it "finer?"Should they change their standard way of making a guitar and adopt someo of the changes they put in the Triple Threat? Should they dump the 3 piece neck? Change the headstock angle? Etc...?
Guest pirateflynn Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 That wasn't the point. Leaving me at a motel with no money or pants, in the dead of winter..... BINGO! Badger Dave is my new hero... Hey.......what about me? .................yesterday's news.
Guest galejt Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Dude. Gotta beat this one: "Leaving [Greg] at a motel with no money or pants, in the dead of winter....." If he'd a left him with an...ah...er...severly "weight disabled" hooker with explosive gastroenteritis I would have kissed him!
MCChris Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Hey.......what about me?.................yesterday's news. pirateflynn fucked Tori Welles. Thus, he'll never be dethroned as my hero.
Jorge Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 pirateflynn fucked Tori Welles. REALLY??????!!!!!!!!!! OMG!

Should they dump the 3 piece neck? Change the headstock angle? Etc...?You want me to back up my gratuitous comments with facts?Damn lawyers!O.K., first there's the neck. The profile is, IMO, perfect. It starts out nice and meaty at the nut, then gradually gets fuller as you move up the neck. It has substance and a great vintagey feel. Then there's the weight. These are a good 1 -1.5 lbs lighter than your average Studio Custom. Next, the wood. Collectively, the TTs had some of the nicest tops and figured Brazilian rosewood necks I've seen on a group of Hamers. There have been more dramatic one-off tops, for sure, but the TTs are made with consistently elegant pieces of wood.Finally, the TTs resonated noticeably more than any SC I've played. This may be the payoff from the one-piece neck, increased neck angle and TonePros hardware. You know the sound and feel of striking a quality set of rosewood claves? The TT is a lot like that.I've been advised to refrain from further comment on Greg's post. I have no recollection of those events at this time.
BCR Greg Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Good thing I have pics of Dave in the bath.With a tennis racket and a pizza.

Definitely lighter and much more lively.. You probably played mine at Dave's Definitely turned my head around about Hamers!! (I used to love 'em when they first came out, but could never get the scratch up for a new one.. I was stuck playing all those old *used* Fenders and Gibsons.. eons ago..) Seriously I love mine.. I hope Dave gets some more.. I may just dump my last R9.. -D
Guest pirateflynn Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Hey.......what about me?.................yesterday's news. pirateflynn fucked Tori Welles. Thus, he'll never be dethroned as my hero. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.............. Seriously, My TT was almost the perfect guitar for me. I prefer a medium sized neck but other than that it was incredible.
